Erin,
I'm still interested in seeing where it is PROVEN that his methods are bogus.
Just because someone does not agree with him, does not mean his methods don't work.. A professional, in the same field, that uses a different method is most likely going to say that someone else's method is ineffective. That is not proof.
Cesar could say that this other person's methods are ineffective, would that make it true? Her claims, most likely are based more on jealousy than any fact.
Also Cesar, never claims to train dogs. He trains the people to become calm and assertive so the dogs have a strong leaderf and are not being fed negative energy.
As for his throwing a dog on the ground and holding him there. It says very clearly that one should not attempt such measures unless they are a professional. Plus he only does that to a dog that has actually bitten, another dog or a person right then and there. That is the only time he actually physically dominates the dog.
Have you ever actually watched his show? I don't see that any of those dogs fear him. He simply approaches the dog in a very assertive way, once he has established who is in charge, you can train the dog by any method.
Picture a teacher in a classroom full of adolescents. If the teacher does not take charge, and set rule and boundries, the kids are going to be come unruly and you will not be able to teach them anything. If one child physically attacks the teacher or another child, he will be restrained, by force.
Super Nanny uses the same principal in controlling undisciplined children. It is a family where the parents have let the kids rule and this will never work. And if a child hits, kicks or bites, he is physically restrained until he calms down.
Same principal. |
