Cesar Millan
 
So, I was wondering what you ladies (some gents) think of Cesar Millan and his teachings and if any of you have seen him live? Hubby and I have tickets to go see him this Sunday and we are excited because we will get to meet him, plus he makes a lot of sense. I can't wait to learn about Louis' psychology, hopefully I can learn to understand his quirks. I can't wait to get started to read his new book :0D

Oh.. Lucky you.. I love him. Have a good time.

Korkie 10-19-2007 07:33 AM
Although I've never seen Cesar live. I love him and I love his show!

He sure has a way with our furry friends :)

How lucky you are to meet him in person.

Enjoy!

What stations is he on? I have never heard of him, it sure does sound like fun though!:D

sweetr72 10-19-2007 07:34 AM
That will be fun!! I LOVE Cesar Milan!! I watch his DVD's over and over learn something new each time..plus he is HOT!!

Honestly, I think he seems a little intense/rough with the dogs.

Also I think people might generalize his ideas as being acceptable for all dogs (all sizes, all personalities). I don't know if that is the smartest to preach.

I think it's too bad you see it that way. But I guess you have your reasons :)

I enjoy Cesar and agree with his philosophy...but, since he has come out in support of AB1634 in California.....I just don't watch his programs anymore

Josie's Mom 10-19-2007 07:54 AM
How exciting! :D I love Cesar. I love how he get's through to dogs. :cool: Plus he has all those rescue dogs at home. :animal-pa What a guy. :thumbup:

Have a great time...I'm jealous ! :p

I suppose a few things he teaches are correct and work for a lot of dogs. I agree that dogs need exercise, discipline and then affection but really now, if I haven't taken my dog on an hour walk in the morning (like he says to do) I still expect her to listen. He also seems a bit rough at times. I wonder what happens behind the scenes when there is no taping going on. Noone knows for sure and you don't usually correct a bad behavior in a ten minute television segment. I have tried a few of his methods and they do not work.

I didn't know he supports AB1634. I definately won't watch him now.

Ok..I am Canadian so I dont know about your bills and such but after googling it http://www.cahealthypets.com/home.htm I dont see what the problem is with this bill? It to me would stop alot of puppy mills and byb would it not?? Show dogs and registered dogs arent affected? I guess Im missing something??

Please fill me in..cause as much as I have read I would tend to agree with this too..

Thanks,
Dawn

Show and hobby breeders are the most affected....Puppy Mills, Wholesalers, Brokers, and BYBers that breed to sell puppies would be affected at all...those that breed to sell, do it on a large scale ($$$$) We have been fighting this bill and others like it throughout the country. The bill is sponsored and backed by PETA/HSUS...who would love to see pet ownership obsolete. Go to the AKC website...they are opposing this bill and there was a great possibility of pulling out of the Eukanuba show from it's existing venue in Long Beach, CA.

Interesting...I read it the same way you do...are we missing something?

sweetr72 10-19-2007 08:31 AM
Ok..it says on the site..legitimate breeders will not be affected..would that not mean you would have to show proof that you are affilated with a kennel club?? Im confuzled lol...wouldnt it stop ALOT of people who breed their own pets or have "accidents" most puppies I see for sale in newspaper ads in my local community far outweigh the amount of pet store puppies in my community. I would like to see regular joes have to spay/neuter at LEAST..I guess I am totally missing something and this is waaaaaaaaaaaay off topic and im sorry..

Dawn

Edited: Not to mention the amount of kittens that are born yearly...and probably 90% of those come from byb and not kitten mills..at least I would think..

Agreed. Sounds like a good bill to me.. hopefully it'll succeed. :thumbup:

myteddybear 10-19-2007 08:35 AM
I do like him though I havn't seen too much of him. I don't think I have ever seen him work with smaller dogs only big ones. I think he has a wonderful way with them though.

I really like the lady on it me or the dog the best. I have tried many of her ways and they all seem to work if done the way she says.

The thing I most like about Cesar is that he can tame a visious dog when others would just not bother.

puppy_Love08 10-19-2007 08:36 AM
I am a huge fan of Cesar Millan and wish I had heard about him when we had our last dog. I hope to use his methods and to practice "calm assertive energy" with our new Yorkie. I highly recommend reading his book. It will help dispel some of the myths about him as well as educate you on how to be a good pack leader.

Yes, we are off topic....this is about Cesar and I do like his methods...I probably shouldn't have put my 2 cents in............

But, if you are truely interested, do some checking...see what HSUS about....The bill is more that what is written.....you really have to read it with a find tooth comb............and do some research....

love_me_cody 10-19-2007 10:01 AM
I understand what he does and whatnot but most of the things he says or does is common sense.. He just opens the owners eyes to what to do and what is happening.... "You have to dominate him, don't let him dominate you..." But I think alot of people don't know that that is common sense and eats up what he says because they are ignorant in what is really going on... Just my opinion...

Mtorr78 10-19-2007 11:21 AM
The Dog Whisperer is great!I do not think he is being rough with the dogs or mean.He is very calm and assertive.My friend has a lab that always had a problem with jumping on people and with a little of assertive energy we were able to stop him from jumping on everyone.I need to read his book.Dogs are tough animals people!!!

Kyle I agree with you. I think he is great for some dogs, my friend has used his methods on her large dogs with great success, but I would not use most of his methods on my own dogs. I think most little dogs have different needs than large ones and he is very against "babying" your dog or dressing it. I totally baby mine and it works fine for me. Those who use and like his methods- great! It's just not for everyone. I enjoy mine being my little babies.

ETA- Louislove, I didn't mean to come across too strong. I hope you enjoy the show and I'm sure you will learn a lot that you can adapt for your own needs. Be sure to tell us about it!

You know I have to agree with you. If he was to do to Babybear what he did to a pup last week I saw a old show. He would have broken Babybear's neck. So keep in mind if you flip that leash or pull up on it like he does some times or even push the pup to the ground with his hand on the back of the pups neck. IF they have AAI it can brake thier necks and kill them or paralyze them. Please ask him a question about that. I was going to write to him and ask him.
Sorry if this offends anyone, but it is my true feelings. Other than that I feel he does pretty good. Just a little rough sometimes that is all.

Maybe you were being sarcastic. This bill is a life saver for many unwanted pets. Either way I plan on taking a camera and taking pics of him my hubby and I. :D

I don't know Cesar personally, but I do know he reccommends shoes for all dogs year round and even coats when neccessary. I don't get offended easily, so no worries, I baby my Lou but he is a dog and know he has his own needs. I plan on applying what I already know from Louis and match that up with his makeup. Excersize, affection and discipline sounds reasonable to me. :D

OMG! Isn't she amazing?! I just love that bun she wears in her hair, you know she means business when she's got that puppy on. LOL!

For My Coby 10-19-2007 03:29 PM
Like most experts, within their expertise, they have specific areas in which they excel. Cesar does probably do the best work with larger dogs. In fact, I sometimes get a kick of watching him work with Yorkies, because I think they even befuddle the Dog Whisperer at times. Yes, a lot of it is common sense (his calm assertive direction is how I successfully raised my kids!!), but there is often a void of common sense as well as the need to be reminded sometimes.

My husband had a devil of a time walking Coby. I had him watch one episode of leash walking and he tried it the next day. Nothing different in the way the leash was used at all. It was my husband's empowered (and yet kind) attitude. My husband (a skeptic in most areas) was an instant believer.

And I agree that his book gives you a bit more insight into the man.

I will have to research the bill that's being addressed, as I'm sad to say, I am not well-educated on it.

Oh wow for you! I love Cesar. I have his dvd's and book, though I haven't had time to read the book yet. Whoever said he was hot, you're right. I love his eyes!

Have fun! I can't wait to see pics!
