Dog Whisperer I dont know if any of you ladies watch this show but he is truely an amazing man. If you catch the national geographic show you can watch. http://cesarmillaninc.com/dogwhisperer/ |
I know, I watch his show sometimes. He knows a lot about dog behavior. I don't watch as much since a dog died at one of his training facilities on a treadmill. |
I think he knows a lot of good training tips and tricks, and does a great job helping people with their pet problems. However, if you watch 5-10 shows, it gets really repetitive...all his techniques are pretty much the same. (Rules Boundaries, Limitations. Calm-Submissive is what you want them to be, while you are Calm Assertive. Collar up high. Dog walks next to or behind you. etc.) You can buy the entire first season at Best Buy. |
where did you read a dog died on one of his treadmills? |
I don't get the national geographic channel here with my cable comany...(It's additional cost) but I have rented his dvd's from netflix and he does have good suggestions for training. |
I think I have seen all of his shows. He certainly understands dogs, and he makes a lot of sense. I am always suggesting to people to watch him forhelp with problem behavior. It's all about whether the dog respects you as the top dog. Most of his theories can be applied to children as well. |
LOL to kids as well, He really does make sense, like on ruling the space. Still I want to see him potty train a Yorkie, mostly mine! |
I watch Cesar and have read his book. And while it is "dog psychology", it is pretty much how I raised my kids too! :) I had mentioned this on another post. While Cesar does great with the dogs on the show, and he always seems to get improvement, I swear the Yorkies give him a run for his money. They just never seem to fall under his spell immediately the way the other dogs do. I love watching him having to "catch" a Yorkie first in order to work his magic. |
I copied it from Snowball's Chance forum. I'm sorry he was badly injured and did not die. I rread somewhere else that the dog died. 'Dog Whisperer' Sued by TV Producer May 5, 3:57 PM (ET) LOS ANGELES (AP) - A television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, star of TV's "The Dog Whisperer," claiming that his Labrador retriever was injured at Millan's training facility after being suffocated by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Superior Court, "8 Simple Rules" producer Flody Suarez says he took 5-year-old Gator to the Dog Psychology Center on Feb. 27 to deal with fears of other dogs and strangers. Hours after dropping the dog off at the facility, Suarez claimed a worker called to inform him the animal had been rushed to a veterinarian. He later found the dog "bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath and with severe bruising to his back inner thighs," the lawsuit claims. The facility's workers allegedly placed a choke collar on the dog, pulled him onto a treadmill and forced him to "overwork." Suarez says he spent at least $25,000 on medical bills and the dog must undergo more surgeries for damage to his esophagus. A call to the Dog Psychology Center, also named as a defendant, was not immediately returned. A spokesman for National Geographic Channel, which airs Millan's show, declined comment. "As of this time, the National Geographic Channel has not been served with either lawsuit, and we do not comment on pending litigation," said Russell Howard, the channel's vice president of communications. The complaint claims breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other allegations. It seeks more than $25,000 in damages. |
Personally, i don't like him. I feel his methods are too harsh and if you really read the dogs body language, they are just scared of him. I don't agree with the use of choke chains, hitting or as he calls it 'touching' the dogs and I hate that he holds the dogs down, these are fear based methods. You can train and rehabilitate dogs in a much more empathetic way using positive reinforcement. Thats just my opionion though! |
I like his concepts, and they do work with children. If you're not the "pack leader" as a teacher with 35 kids in your room, you're in trouble! I did it with positive reinforcement though. However, my kids all knew never to cross my boundaries, which were really not difficult to follow. I think a mixture of the underlying concepts, positive reinforcement, who you are and the temperament of Yorkies works well. I do have to agree. Once you've read his book and seen a few episodes, it's all the same. |
I LOVE Cesar....and he is SUPER hot too!! lol |

As a side note, I read his book and did enjoy it, although a good portion of it was about the red zone cases that thankfully I don't have a problem with (however I have heard of people encountering a strange agressive dog and using things they'd pick up from the DW that kept them safe.) But the part of the book that I did find fascinating was the story of how he got to where he is today. I asked both of my daughters to read the first 70 pages only - nothing to do with dog training - but to inspire them as young adults ready to work hard for what they want in life! |
