LOL. You are right about so many people trying to be "Cesar". Just as scary as all those people "tsskk"ing & alpha rolling are those that just completely overlook dog misbehavior over & over & say it's just a dog being a dog, erring to the other extreme, then wondering why their dog badly bit somebody or chased the little neighbor girl across the street in traffic. Then the dog winds up in a shelter & we know what usually happens from there. Seems a lot of people don't have the patience or desire to just train their dogs & give refresher courses from time to time. Training is really fun & easy for the dog & the human. It is vital for big, powerful breeds.
