I have no particular devotion to Caesar Millan but
I do not believe this. 
I have watched almost every episode of the show and he has
never used choke collars on the TV show, he
does not "jerk" like I was taught to do back in the 70s when I first learned obedience training,
he NEVER hits, and I have seen him gently put a dog who is attempting to attack on the ground...never harshly or in anger but only in self defense and defense of others. I have NEVER seen him use "physical punishment" or any kind unless you include lots of exercise to use up excess energy as "physical punishment".
Joy~ I think you should watch just a few episodes and I think you may change your mind about him.
IMO his approach is very positive as opposed to negative but I guess it may depend on your defintion of those terms. He obviously loves dogs and would never intentionally harm one.
