Addicted to Dog Whisperer

Hello Milkypink, I can't say I'm a big fan of Cesar Millan, though I like watching his series. I think I watched all the first four series of his show. I don't think I've learned anything new from him but I enjoy watching people who love and understand the dogs the way they are. And Cesar is a person who understand dogs but he is also a charming person as it is easy for him to convince people to be better dog owners.

You know, I have never watched his show, only a video or here online. I never even heard of him until a few years ago when my daughter was taking an animal care class that she started talking about him and now where she works, the owner bought one of his books. I recently read his "How to Train a Perfect Dog" I recommend it if you have a stubborn puppy you are trying to housebreak. As for trying some of his tips, yes I have. I am working on getting my puppies to focus on me, especially when they are overly excited. Penny is the worse, she is hyper and sometimes noises or when someone comes home from school or work, she goes into what I call hyper-mode and doesn't seem to know anything except her wanting to go and bark or jump all over the new arrival. So I make her sit and focus on me before I allow her to move. It seems to be working so far..:)

Sounds interesting. I think we haven't paid attention to such shows after our dog passed on a few years ago plus I think that's on cable TV right? We don't subscribe to any cable TV

Ceasr's great. I've read one of his books and I've watched some of his shows. His techniques do work. I know because I've tried some of them but I confess that I haven't been consistent with the techniques. I suspect that is one of the reasons that some people don't get results with his advice. Getting the proper behavior out of a dog takes daily effort and a lifelong change in attitude toward yourself and your dog.

yes I have watched him and his videos and have learned alot . I watch hime , his actions, his words, and then apply them my dog and caught myself a few times speaking as he did. good habits and they do work. being a leader , showing and athority and of course loveing your animal. I have 2 dogs , a boxer which is very smart and easy to work with , hears my voice and tones of my voice. I also have a small part yorky and pomerain which I call a yorkyraine. small about 3 or 4 lbs and acts mean and barks alot but I work with her and she understands when I mean details of talking with her..but seemed that my little dog was harder to work with than my bigger dog. But I enjoy watching Dog Wisperer when I can and he has alot of good details and information that helps ..He does have a web site and answers questions...I raised puppies a few times and I found that to take them out right after they eat helps and also my other dogs when they wanted out they helped train the little ones for they went out also when they did. at night do not leave food out as much.

Cesar Milan is a person who knows the needs of a dog and who tries to make other people learn it, too. He is good in what he is doing. Yet I wouldn't follow everything he teaches. For instance, I'd never Shhht! on my dog when I come home. He must be so glad to see me back home, how could I Shhht! him?
