Cesar Millan vs. Victoria Stillwell?

[Tobie22]

Team Victoria...I dont know its just something about Cesar's methods that I dont like. Granted I have not watched ever show but the ones that I have seen of his, he seems kinda of rough with the dogs and I dont believe in that. Now to be honest, Tobie only knows how to sit, we are working on more tricks and yes he still has accidents in the house every now and then. Now that I am thinking about it I dont think I am a very good mom. I let him get away with pretty much anything . O well Team Victoria!!!

[I Love Bailey]

I like Victoria...I feel she is more realistic when dealing with people and their untrained dogs...I have never heard a news report about Victoria's dog training techniques being used to harm a dog and have read several about Caesars techniques used by unrealistic expectations of dog owners.

Has anyone ever seem an episode of eithers with a yorkie on it?

Oh yeah! There's been quite a few.

One that sticks out in my mind from Victoria's show is two Yorkies that were dognapped from their owners car so ever since they began these yappy, afraid of strangers dogs and Victoria helped out a TON! That's one that comes to mind.

On Dog Whisperer, there's been quite a few. There was one couple with 6 yorkies, I want to say, but there was one or two who were the trouble makers and Cesar helped them out a lot. There was a blind Yorkie on the show. There was a yorkie whose owner was in the play Wicked and he barked backstage too much. There was one yorkie that chased the vacuum and brooms, etc. Umm... can you tell I watch Dog Whisperer a lot? LOL. You can go to his homepage to see a list of episodes through all the seasons :

I really love watching Victoria's show, and how she works with both the dogs and the owners! She is awesome ! I am very amazed with her patience towards the dogs . She is so good! I se that she much better at dealing with the dogs then the owners, which I find absolutely hilarious. She is very upfront though and tells it like it is , LOL . I like the way she is.
I do not watch too much of Ceaser's show . I have a little , and really have not been all that impressed. I think he is, however incredible dealing with the larger breeds . But, the smaller breeds He was using a collar to train a yorkie , and the little one started gagging. I wasn't impressed. Ceaser uses the Shhhs command and hand motion too , and I just shake my head on that type of training method as well .
Victoria uses more postive rewards and trains with food as motivaters. I would choose her over Ceaser any day.

What is so wrong with that? Not to be mean, I'm just curious as to why you feel that is bad? Hand motions and commands are all a part of training? The "Shhh" sound is no different than using the word "Quiet!" or something. I know everyone has opinions! And the collar thing is something definitely that shouldn't be happening. But the owner probably used a collar as well. I've seen Cesar use harnesses before if the owner uses them.

Victoria. I don't like the poking Cesar does to the dogs.

[yorkie mad]

Ceaser does seem to have a real understanding of dogs not sure who that Victoria is though , don't think we get her show here, could be wrong

IMO, as Ceaser is a professional trainer I feel that their are more effective training methods to be using in a toy breed , then this. I wasn't impressed . I like more calmer approach, food rewards, positive training methods. you started this thread and asked for people to choose, and that is what I did. BTW, this owner, was concerned about her Yorkie's reaction to the pulling of the collar, Ceaser finally placed a harness on her dog. her dog was 6yrs old .

Have not seen Cesar. I LOVE Victoria. She has a very dry sense of humor, and she is so CUTE!

[Ellie May]

Victoria but there are things I like and don't like about both.

I have found that Victoria's methods are more likely to work for Ellie and I do question whether Ceasar is too rough sometimes.
