What I did disagree with, was the statement that is was PROVEN that Cesar's methods are bogus. I just asked for the proof.
I also asked you twice if you had ever actually watched the show. Since you have not answered, I am guessing that the answer is no. I challenge you to watch the show and then make up your own mind and not just take someone else's word for it. Because for every well educated, professional that you find that does not agree with Cesar's methods, I can find one that does.
I believe that he has saved many dogs from being put down, by his methods of rehabilitaion. When dealing with a vicious dog, one cannot use kid gloves.
I've enjoyed the discussion, but until you actually watch the show and have some specifics to discuss, rather than someone else's generalizations, there is no point in continuing this debate. |
I have seen the show. I don't watch it on NG since I don't have that channel, but I HAVE seen the show. However I don't choose to watch it on a regular basis. And I've given plenty of specifics... I simply quote those people because they are more qualified to analyze him and can say it far more eloquently than I can. I don't see specifics coming from you because there aren't any. Being "calm and assertive" is not going to solve anyone's problems. I give plenty of "specifics" on this site trying to help people do everything from housetrain to leash walking. I don't recommend they watch a TV show.
As far as charging out the door, my dog doesn't do that either. Because I taught him what SIT and STAY and WAIT means using positive methods. Why would anyone choose to "correct" their dog when they can just ask for a simple command??
