Oh. My. Gosh. You guys did NOT just go there!!
First of all, I've met Cesar and his family. I met him in LA, and he invited me to NYC for his book launch party for "How To Raise The Perfect Dog". When I was in LA, they were filming and episode that I was supposed to watch. The dog was too dangerous and had to be taken to his center. Does that fix the problem in 30 minutes? I don't think so. Also, Baby Girl, one that was on an episode, stayed with Cesar for OVER 70 days! Yeah, problem fixed in half an hour, huh?
His yorkie, Georgia Peaches, was a rescue. I applaud rescuing ANY breed. And having a yorkie and a pit makes him an untrustworthy person? What about the members on here that have one of each? Are they bad as well??
And with his kid? He's trained his dogs to be gentle, with any person, dog, cat, what have you. And he's taught his kids how to act around dogs. Having a kid with your dog is NOT a bad thing! He has a pit with his kids, who are 15 and 11 now by the way. Are you going to get upset with someone who has kids and a rottie? Doberman? What about a german shepherd?? No. Pits get a bad rap. Ever heard of "Punish the deed not the breed"? A person shot and killed someone before. Are we all bad just because we are all human? No. Just because one individual in the species does something wrong, doesn't mean they all will.
His methods are just fine. If you were to have some dogs together, they would do the same to each other, if not worse. What he does is completely natural for the dog, and easier for the dog to understand what's going on. Yelling at the dog scares the dog. He/she doesn't know what's going on. When you "bite" them, they understand perfectly what you mean, "stop that right now."
He needs to have studied dogs his whole life and not just jumped in because of a TV show?? He has studied dogs since he was born! He lived with his grandfather on his ranch and studied what the dogs did EVERY DAY. Also, he had been working with dogs, how you see on TV, for about 20 years BEFORE the TV show.
Self-rightious? Uhh, no, I don't think so. He thinks of others BEFORE himself. He wants to HELP people, not just have a TV show to be famous. He's using the TV show to help people understand what to do, and what's wrong. Maybe they can help their dog themselves.
So you think people that like Cesar have never had a problem dog themselves? Well, my yorkie Sapphire decided that SHE was gonna be the boss of me. She had a rawhide one day and growled if I came near her. Took about 30 minutes of working with her when she finally walked away, and I was the pack leader again. She is great now. She doesn't grow when I want the bone back. And for walks? She's perfect! She walks right beside me. And the other dogs that bark and lunge at her? She never even looks at them. Simply ignore and walk away. I don't have an aggressive dog that tries to attack every dog back on walks BECAUSE I followed what Cesar says to do.
I think I'm done for now.
Ever hear, "don't judge a book by its cover"? He has a TV show. OMG he's self-centered and all he cares about is the money and publicity and being famous! No.
This is a touchy subject for me, and unless you know who he REALLY is, don't judge. |
