Dog Whisperer is just ..
 

I just ordered digital cable at my house starting this year.. so i have been watching Dog Whisperer... I am hooked. I watch same episodes twice.. at least.. It's just an amazing show!

Anyway.. I am watching my friend's yorkie, Guinness. Guinness is very lovely.. But he tends to get so excited and bark before going for a walk.. and he barks at bicycle, tall people, skateboards, and other dogs. So I said.. let me try.. what I have learned rom the show.

It WORKS! I took him out to walk four times already. And he didn't bark at all since he came to my house. I used to lift him up and carry him to downstairs when we go for walk.. since he tends to bark.. But I didn't do that. I even made him sit and stay still until I say "come". I mean.. this might be something that it is easy for some people.. but Guinness has never done that before.. and I was happy. We practiced for him to be patient and wait until I tell him it is okay to move. My my!! I even went half block and let him behind.. but he still waited!!! until I told him to come to me. My my! I am very happy about that. Now.. it seems like I don't have to worry about him staying at room by himself... He used to follow me everywhere.

Anyway.. I think I will do pretty well.. with training my future pop.. Even one day... if you really commit to accomplish something.. I guess you can do it!! I am really getting ready for a pup!

I have only seen a segment on this guy on Oprah. My husband is now demanding that Chewy be better trained :p soooooo, guess what I said I would do??? Start watching the Dog Whisperer. I'm sure people can get lots of training advice from him. Thanks for the tip!

What channel is he on? I have directv with TONS of channels, but Ive never noticed it on before. Id love to watch some of it to see if I can get any tips for Daisy...

Me too. I have DirectTV and I have never noticed it on any channels and we must get at least 50 of them. Would like to see this program...

National Geographic!

Like I said on the training thread "Hey, Hey Cesar" I love to watch him I think he has a lot of talent. :thumbup:

Hmmmm I've never seen it! I don't think I have that channel!

Thanks for the info. Good work Michiko. Maybe I can learn something from that show too.
FYI, It is NGC on DirectTV : Channel 276

I love Cesar, The Dog Whisperer. He is so amazing with dogs, it seems he can teach any dog anything in 5 minutes. From biting to barking! My pups like to watch with me, we lay on my bed and at first when the segment starts, all that barking caused them all to bark, too. It gives me TV 'no bark' training practice. :)

Ya it's really amazing.. how a little trying can make a big difference. Who knows.. I might become like Cesar one day!!! Woohoo!! :D Ya.. I know I am dreaming. He seems to be really amazing! It is hard to believe and by trying... it is just.. speechless!

Oh, I am such a Cesar addict! I only wish I could exude the calm assertiveness of that man!! I sure do try. He's not really a Trainer, per se, but a behaviorist. He teaches you how to recognize the signs of a dog's brain not being centered (about to do an unwanted behavior) and nip it in the bud before it escalates. I try the "shttt" noise all the time with mine. It works only sometimes-but it's probably because I don't always have the right (calm, assertive) frame of mind. I really have learned alot with body blocking and some other techniques he shows. My husband teases me and says, "Cesar will tell those people to take that dog for a walk-that's always the cure". I do feel guilty sometimes, too because I don't always follow the "Rules, boundaries, limitations THEN love and affection" rule.....I just love the show!! Oh, look...I've gone ON & ON...LOL

We also use the sshhttt sound to correct everything. It sure makes the house a lot quieter than everyone yelling 'QUIET' 'STOP THAT' whatever the pups are doing, stealing a sock, bark, now everyone goes ssshhhttt. It is much more pleasant, and the dogs always react. I also need to walk mine, but I pawn it off on my son. I do believe it would be a big benefit :)

I watched it last night for the first time...I am gonna try to catch it again...he seems to kow his stuff thats for sure-

I have stopped my friend's dog barking and eating furniture in one fell swoop by using Cesar's techniques. Today a dog was barking at my yorkie when we were walking her and I got the lady to let me stop her dog from barking. She looked at me like I was crazy and asked "How the f did you do that." That is a great show and the free advice you get from it is priceless.
