Advice from Cesar Millan

[pitc9]

I wish Cesar traveled I know a few friends that he needs to talk to lmao!

ME ME!! (waves hands frantically in the air)
He needs to come to my house and talk to my pups!!
I'd like him to tell Buddy to calm down, and tell Sierra to get off her high horse, she's NOT queen of the castle!

I think he's good ,Now if we got him to go see every Pit that was ever fought I bet there would be a few people who actually like Pits. I like how he makes sure the people do the training like he dose and lets them try it while he's there, unlike that guy on "Good Dog" Stanley Corn or something.

lol I wanna come now I live in Oregon so I could travel to one of his ones in CA.

Yeah thats one of the things I love most about him is that he makes the owners work with the dogs too.

I am a huge pit lover having owned a couple so I'd love to see Cesar teach the rescue community about ways to help agressive/problem dogs not just putting them down as fast as possible.

would you maybe be able to share some of those techniques with me? I have a dog who is very headstrong, and who, dispite several different meathods of training, still doesn't seem to understand he his doing anything wrong.

Par, just read your post...so how did it go???

Haven't reached my utlimate goal of being able to leave them outside without any barking, but I haven't been totally consistent with walking them every night. When we go walking though, I make them stay in heel position. No more casual walking and it does make a huge difference. Guller is doing much better at not barking at other dogs and people on the walks. Oz was always good on walks. They are calmer and quieter, just don't know if I'll ever meet that goal of them ignoring the dog next door if I'm in the house. If we ever get there, you can bet I'll be on here doing the happy dance.

Wow, I have to agree with Cali. I am very surprised that this man has SO much support. *shakes head*

For those that "follow" him, I'd definitely look into clicker training and *positive reinforcement* training.

For those of you that are interested and like Cesar Milian (if not please don't reply negatively)....

The producers and distributors of the DOG WHISPERER Season One DVD have created a special half-hour video program to celebrate and promote the DVD release.
The program, Up Close with Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan features an exclusive interview with Cesar and some of his best tips for understanding dog behavior. You can view it as a three-part streaming video at YouTube.com.

Oh and btw, I'm loving my DVDs I won from Pet of the Day
If nothing else, I've definitely learned that calm, assertive energy really does work! Just trying to stay in that state of mind is sometimes hard

[shihtzulover850]

I'm still a bit skeptical about him. A lot of the training tips he gives on his show work because they are typical solutions, not because he's a miracle worker.

Yes but a lot of these people he helps are inexperienced dog owneres who know nothing about the breed or dogs in general! So they do not know what the "typical solutions" are.

For those of you that are interested and like Cesar Milian (if not please don't reply negatively)....

And why is it that every time someone starts a thead on Cesar Milan people reply negatively?????? With all the threads that have been started by now we know how much you dislike him. If you don't agree don't reply unless the person asks for negative responses!!!

Funny!!!! lol

I watched his show this past weekend, just to see what all the fuss was about. I did enjoy it and I'd watch it again, but I just have to say--He's no dog whisperer. He is a marketing genius and an extremely savvy business man. His training techniques all seemed pretty basic to me--a tired dog is a good dog and dogs need leadership. Those are the two principles I manage my pack on!

I have a friend who is a dog whisperer. It's astonishing to watch. Even dogs who have never met Will before respond immediately to him!

[lizbud]

Thanks for the link and info Anna. I do believe in Cesar's methods.
He has a unique talent for understanding the canine mind. It so happens
that it's very lucrative as well. Last I heard it's great to be successful and
make money along the way. I think it's so funny to see people's petty
jealousy popping out as they take little digs at the guy.I imagine he laughs
all the way to the bank.

It's just amazing to me though how many people don't understand that dogs need leadership. I think the show is good because it really makes people think, I know it does me.

Tamara, I have three dogs and sometimes have a rough time with them...I can't imagine having your pack!
I think your the "Dog Whisperer"

Oh, hardly. We have our share of problems! The pack is nice and stable right now so there are fewer problems.

I think Cesar recognized that lots of people don't know that and he capitalized on it. Found a niche in the market that needed to be filled and marketed himself to it. He is very charasmatic too, which has to help! More power to him IMO! If I could find something basic that involved something I love and make a ton of money off it, I'd be all over it too!

I watch the dog whisperer all the time! Thanks for the link!
