Oh, I am such a Cesar addict! I only wish I could exude the calm assertiveness of that man!! I sure do try. He's not really a Trainer, per se, but a behaviorist. He teaches you how to recognize the signs of a dog's brain not being centered (about to do an unwanted behavior) and nip it in the bud before it escalates. I try the "shttt" noise all the time with mine. It works only sometimes-but it's probably because I don't always have the right (calm, assertive) frame of mind. I really have learned alot with body blocking and some other techniques he shows. My husband teases me and says, "Cesar will tell those people to take that dog for a walk-that's always the cure". I do feel guilty sometimes, too because I don't always follow the "Rules, boundaries, limitations THEN love and affection" rule.....I just love the show!! Oh, look...I've gone ON & ON...LOL |
