Every dog is different and different things work with them. I think finding what works for your dog and being committed to pracitcing it is how to get them trained. Sparks would never respond well to Cesars methods. Actually, I have tried some of cesears methods and I can see how they would work with some dogs but not Sparks.

Cesar's method is to get the dog in the right state of mind. If a dog only behaves for treats then who is in charge, you or the dog? I'd have to say the dog. He has trained you well. When I do this behavior, you give me a treat. Good girl. LOL
