Re: What do you think of Cesar Millan? (the dog whisperer)
To be honest. I think Cesar Millan has a real gift with dogs. He is right you know......most of the time it is the human who needs training
 I would like to see him work with a collie. We used his techniques with Jazz and he is now so laid back he is very easy to train. He used to drool a lot in the car, but doesn't now. He also used to try and attack cars that are passing us going the other way and we managed to stop him doing that too. Cesar has the right attitude and uses his expertise and tools indiviually i.e. the right tool for the right job. We bought his book too, and that is also very interesting and easy to follow. |

Re: What do you think of Cesar Millan? (the dog whisperer)
I have been using his techniques now for a few days. I excersise Archie before each meal, never let him in front of me and hes not allowed on the furniture or on laps and we claim the door when he barks to stop him barking and attacking the post.
He still gets all the love and attention of before, but hes now being calmer and barking less. He does as hes told all the time, and on walks even off the lead he will stay behind me even if we run. This is a huge deal because he used to bark all the time, jump on everyone, nip heels and pull on the lead. This was without commands and brute force and treats. He goes behind me and by my heels by himself without being told. xx

 Frankly it's a poor piece of work. I'd advice anyone to read his books and make their own mind up! So he's not the positive trainer that some people seem to think is a big deal... Problematic dogs need different kinds for handling and He is fluid in that handling. He uses what ever method he thinks is best suited for the dog. He DOES NOT apply aggressive and fear tactics to dogs... He's does everything but. Only to an uneducated eye would this conclusion be made. Flooding workis and moves the right dog on quickly aversion theraphy also moves dogs on fast. IMO short term discomfort for long term balance is exceptable. He gets to the problem asap and deals with it there and then... Maybe the so called positive trainers dislike him because he can and does get results fast. So theres no long drawn out massively expensive charges. He's the man who can help everyone understand there dogs. peopel need to stop with the negative Vibes man... Peace and loves people.. And oooohhhh he hasnt any "formal " quilifications.... AND Knowledge is not just attained via schools and uni. People who break the mould don't learn that from others they pave there own path through blood and sweat. Did the first man who told his dog to sit have to have a degree to be able to do so? NO. Give the man a break. Last edited by karen; 23-03-2008 at 01:42 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Re: What do you think of Cesar Millan? (the dog whisperer)
I have just been watching Cesar Milan on TV whilst eating lunch. He was working with a collie who was really very aggressive. It was a joy to watch and he worked well with him and achieved the desired results. It gave me a few pointers too. The next dog was one that had been used in a laboratory to test animal veccines. No relationship, just very clinical surroundings and people wearing suits with head masks on, so no eye contact either. This dog was rescued and had been with the foster family for four years (the lady worked in the kennel where he ended up). Cesar sat with his back to the cage, which the dog was in, after opening it's door and eventually backed himself into the cage with the dog whilst speaking to the camera (if you know what I mean) The dog was calm and oblviously picked up Cesar's energy. The whole things was wonderful to see and the lady who owned the dog just couldn't believe how much the dog changed in just two hours.
Cesar does not have qualifications.....but he has something most of us doesn't have................a natural affinity with dogs He has lived in close contact with dogs since he was born and his grandfather taught him well about animal behaviour. Cesar is also very able to pass on his teachings and understanding of dog behaviour so that the people who own them don't take it as an insult. He get's my thumbs up anytime.Last edited by annieb; 23-03-2008 at 02:14 PM.. Reason: spelling |

Re: What do you think of Cesar Millan? (the dog whisperer)
I'm not that fussy on him really using an e collar is a massive put off in my books.
To be honest though i'm getting a bit sick of all the training programmes, they're getting to be like cooking and diy to much of them. And no i can't cook or diy either |
