Hi, no I am not an employee of any affiliate of Cesar's Team, which means Cesar Millan Inc, The Cesar and Ilusion Millan Foundation, MPH Entertainment or Emory/Sumer Productions, IMG National Geographic Channel or even Petco which has sponsored his show
so faithfully since it began 4 years ago.
I did take over a fan email list on yahoo and shifted it more from a celebrity (isnt he cool/cute...) kind of email list to a list devoted to helping people with problem dogs because I say all the people over on his Nat Geo blog crying heart broken because they had problem dogs they couldnt find help for. So I had this email list devoted to people who saw the value of Cesar's way who wanted to help others like you and me learn how to do what he did.
I did attend one of Cesar's seminars last September in 2007 and have met some of his staff and also Cesar, his incredible wife, Ilusion and two boys and actually got to hug his pitbull Daddy's net (now THAT is a doggie star I am goofy over he is SUCH a buddy that adorable dog - lol!!!)
My business for the last 30 years has been safety and health, I have lots of clients like National Safety Council, Maricopa Community College where I work with businesses to help with safety and environmental health problems. (You can read more in my profile which talks about my passion for the lost ones and plans for the future to turn rescue dogs into therapy dogs for others. I am very blessed that the success of my safety business allows me to put som much of my energy into helping dogs and their owners, in these kinds of ways! Now that I am past 50 years old, I do this for me!
I am nobody in the dog community, just someone who wants to save the problem dogs being euthanized right now because there is no one else who is able to help, Rescues in Arizona do bring problem dogs to me that they cant help but will be euthanized is the problem isnt changed, so I have experienced first hand what a person with a little knowledge and tools can make for these dogs that are being killed because there arent enough of people like me.
I was very fortunate that apparently someone from Cesar's team was watching what I was doing and how hard we were working to help people learn how to change problem dog behavior. (This is also Cesar's great passion - to teach people how to fish so they can help themselves) and so in June of 2006 they started referring people who were willing to work on correcting their own bad habits with their problem dogs over to my yahoo email list which I privately own.
It was a great honor. I insist that everyone is respectfully treated and not judged, condemmed or ridiculed for their choices or mistakes. So right now we are at about 2650 members with another 14,500 who have come in solved their problems and left our high volume list.
The archives are open to the public as I mentioned in another post, so one can get answers and ideas without even joining the high volume list, (we sometimes will have 150-175 posts a day).

So I have been living eating and breathing CEsar's way for four years now as I have turned my hobby and passions into learning better how to not only save the dogs that you may have seen at my youtube site:
YouTube - cjanderson's Channel
but if you watch the Ten examples of using Cesar's way, you will hear my story and what I do. The first video of Choe is an example of a dog who had been badly abused who I have been working with who has very special needs for adoption. I have used Cesar's way to help her get so much better but she does not show well at adoptathons.
So I have created a video of her to show how she would bein someone;s home, then I have a best friends page for her:

dogster page for her:

Her blogs are mini lessons of how I have been applying Cesar's way to her unique fears and needs. I do all this as a volunteer and want to teach others how to do this to help with the unique needs of these dogs who dont show well in a cage of a shelter or adoptathon.
So I have been learning teaching my self how to market these more challenging dogs to help rescues present them n a way that someone may want to adopt them.
I also took a Best Friends (Dog Town) dog and converted her into passing her Therapy dog test in under thirty days.
June bug had been very difficult to adopt, because she didnt show well. She will be my poster dog to encourage others in our retiring baby boomer generation to do this as well to help at risk kids, in hospitals and hospices, nursing homes, etc.
So these are the kinds of things I am about helping those kinds of dogs that the "positive trainers" don't have the time or energy or solutions for. You can also learn more about me personally from my website at:
