Cesar M. has a yorkie!! I was reading how to rasie the perfect dog, and Cesar has a yorkie! A puppy mill rescue, named Georgia Peach I believe. I just thought it was great that his family pack includes a yorkie! I love wacthing the show and I hope to raise Ares as a "Cesar" dog! He's only 3 months old now but I'm working everyday with him... (being preggers, with two girls 5&6, and a hubby who's an active duty Marine to drive me crazy lol) Any thoughts what methods work best with puppies? Who eles loves Cesar? :thumbup: or :thumbdown |
I love Cesar :thumbup: I think he's a great person and has a natural way of being with dogs. I think it's great he added a Yorkie to his pack. |
Not me :thumbdown |

Here is why I give it a :thumbdown in short because I have strong opinions regarding dog training and some of Millan's methods have been criticized as outmoded and even harmful by numerous dog training and animal professionals including both the American Human Association as well as Dr. Dodman (head of animal behavior and training at Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine). If you do a quick google you will see all the criticism - it's been going on for years. I like Victoria Stillwell (It's me or the dog") and I give her a big :thumbup: |
I dont know really anything about him. My mom loves him but I looked at a family picture of him and his family and pets and he has a pitbull and I'm sorry no matter how good or a trainer you are I dont think you should have a young child and a pitbull. I think its just asking for trouble. |
Love, love, love Cesar Millan! |

well i now give him Two :thumbdown:thumbdown because of the pitbull + yorkie + child dynamic he apparently has going. |
I worship the ground Cesar walks on, and I'm not afraid to admit it. :D If anyone could have a pitbull around children (or a yorkie), it would be Cesar. His pitbull "Daddy" is the best :thumbup: You really can't ban the breed ... "One of Daddy’s remarkable traits is his extreme tolerance for smaller dogs. He allows them to do whatever they want to him" Daddy | Cesar Millan |
I don't think you should condemn pitbulls. Yes they have awful reputations. As a former owner of a pitbull I can tell you that if properly trained they are loyal and love their whole pack. My brother owns a pitbull and she loves my yorkie. I was initially afraid but she treated him like he was hers was gentle and knew not to be agressive. I have a 7 year old and worry more about Troy biting her than my brothers pitbull. Just bc Troy is not tolerant of excitement whereas my brothers pitbull is all for the play and is motherly with her too. |
That's pretty much being prejudice to a certain dog. Just b/c pitbulls have a bed rep, doesn't mean all pitbulls are terrible and vicious. If you train a dog properly from puppyhood, it can be like "Daddy." I think Ceaser gives a wonderful outlook on how gentle and wonderful a pitbull can be. We all happen to love Yorkies, well there are bunches of people who would disagree b/c they love pitbulls. How sad!! We were at PetSmart just yesterday for Snick's santa picture. There was a pit puppy and I had NO problem letting Snick sniff him when the owner said it was OK. I always ask 1st b/c any dog of any breed could have social problems. I understand that people are weary b/c of all the attacks in the media etc, but remember, there are sweet, gentle pitbulls too! Smiles- Snick & Viv |

Did you ever consider he's right and they're wrong? Those of us that can't do, teach. |
I like Victoria :thumbup: and Ceasar :thumbup: both for different reasons. I also agree that you cannot lable a breed just because of what some people have done to them. I have known many pitbulls..all of them loving and non aggressive. |

Just to clarify - lots of positive behavior dog trainers also disagree with his methods so it is not just teachers. BTW I'm sure alot of teachers would disagree with your characterization of them. |
Where did you hear he has a yorkie because Ive never heard that |

I dont condemn pitbulls or any other large breed. I think it is downright dumb to put yorkies in households with large dogs with huge jaws. Sorry, but that is my opinion and I stand by it. And, I just dont like Cesar and his methods, or his self righteousness or his show. Enough said! |

How many of these teachers work with dogs as aggressive as he does? Many would just say put them down. I'm a R+ trainer and I what Cesar does is mostly just a modified version of NILIF. His connection or innate understanding of dogs can't really be quantified so it's hard for most people with PHDs to figure it out. FWIW my Ivy league educated Vet loves Cesar. |

Why do all pitbulls naturally want to kill yorkies? Maybe most are not trained correctly. |
I like Cesar. Some of his methods can be controversial but he deals with difficult dogs sometimes. I like Victoria also but I feel you can learn from both of them |
I like Cesar and Victoria both. |

I had many Yorkies come through rescue that had issues...Cesars methods would have sent them over the bend and I would have been bitten many times. I have watched his shows and he fixes dogs in 30 minutes? I don't believe so. Working with animals that have been abused or have serious issues is never a quick fix. I think one of the biggest things that turned me off was in his first book and it was towards they end where it talked about excercising his dogs - all his pittbulls and I finally figured out he was running his dogs about 6 hours a day....I believe excercise is good but not in that amount for a yorkie and I am not even sure for a pittbull. I find most people who like him have never had a problem dog nor understand what some of his methods could do to a dog that has issues. |
I had conniption fits when my daughter wanted to move back home - with her pitty. But Nitro's nearly 14 years old; he was bred back when Pits were still pets, not bred to be killers. She got him when she still had to bottle feed him; he's the sweetest, most temperate dog you could ever hope to meet. When I got the pups, he just loved on them. He snuggled with them, licked them, let them hang off his cheeks with their sharp little puppy teeth. I may have doubts with younger pitties, but Old Bones is a good dog, and he will be greatly missed when he crosses the Bridge. |

If you think he would run a yorkie for 6 hours then you don't get his methods. He wouldn't treat a yorkie the same way he would treat a pitbull. Most people are not qualified to uses his methods. The show clearly states this in the beginning of each episode. |
