I completely agree.

I disagree with Cesar's methods. There are much better ways to train and treat a dog.

I have seen the way he walks dogs and the position he has the leash at, that is very uncomfortable for a dog for the leash to be that high and constantly held taught so he has no other choice but to keep it up and look ahead. You may as well have a puppet on strings.

If I want my dog's nose to be off the ground, there is a very simple command I taught called "watch me". I can say that command and my dog will be looking lovingly up at my face.

I too used to be a fan of Cesar. Although I never had to use his methods on my own dogs (because they were trained properly to begin with), I thought he was an amazing dog trainer. Truth is, he isn't a trainer. Looking back on it, I cannot understand how I could have held him so high in my mind when he had to hire a professional dog trainer to teach a dog the simple command of sit.
