You know Bobbie, that is the piece that most people seem to miss! The dogs on his show are "last chance" dogs where people have exhausted local resources for help which didnt work, and turn to Cesar as their last hope before abandoning the dog to the shelter as someone elses problem to fix or destroy, or just plain before deciding to euthanize those dogs.
There ARE many solutions he does use in thise cases (particularly with the agressive "red-zone" dogs) that require way more knowledge and skill that the general dog owner does not have. They have made a point in many shows to show Cesar being bitten (even to redoing in slow-mo to demonstrate how dangerous this can be)!
But there are so many solutions that are completely and easily replicatable for behavior problems like, jumping, barking, charging, claiming the space (furniture windows, etc) distractions, pulling, traveling, vet vsits... and so much more.
The wonderful thing is that now with the DW Season 1-3 Episode guide and the Episodes being out on DVD's that you can look up the problem by problem or by dog breed and review the sows as many times as you like to see how to reach the solution in your own unique environment. Further, there is a yahoo dog whisperer email list that you can talk about where you are having challenges in getting the desired solution to work, with people from trainers to og owners like you and I, to help you apply those solutions to your own unique circumstances.
