Again, you know I love you
, but since no one on this thread has met Cesar, aren't we all evaluating him based on his television series? Isn't almost everyone in the country doing that? After all, I get many tips from VS, who has her own tv series. I'm not saying I've looked into Cesar's soul, but I'd say with both trainers, we know way more than if we were just interviewing people, or looking to go to a seminar.
Of course we should listen to other people that we trust when considering training methods, and I believe to some degree that should be experts in the field. That doesn't mean if someone has a Phd, they must be right, but it doesn't mean they have nothing to offer either. If you were looking for trainers and your friend recommended for or against one, wouldn't you take that into account?
Anyway, maybe the thread needs to cool down a little. It's a couple dozen pages at this point, a lot has been said, and repeated.
A lot of really interesting resources have been posted in the thread, and I am going back and reading them all. And, still need to watch the Akita eppy! I looked on Hulu, but I couldn't find it. I'll have to try again.
