Ceaser is amazing! The idiots from doggie daycare should have him come in and sort them out. If every dog owner in the world had just a portion of the talent the dog whisperer does then the canine/human relationship would be a very successful one indeed! I recommend this show to absolutely everyone

What Parents Need to Know
About The Dog Whisperer
Parents need to know that this show sometimes features aggressive dogs who bite or attempt to attack other dogs. Also, although some of the show's methods for dealing with troubled dogs may look easy, they shouldn't be attempted by untrained people, especially kids. Warnings appear on the screen to discourage regular folks from trying some of the expert's approaches, but parents may want to reinforce that message to younger viewers.

What kinds of changes would your family need to make to change your dog's iffy behaviors? Why do families think Millan is so successful with animals? How can his methods for dealing with dogs translate into dealing with people?

The Dog Whisperer is great!
I think Ceasar's a really neat guy...he's really good with dogs. Heck, even OPRAH called on him to train her dog(Sophie-which always reminds me of Meerkat Manor!)! There are also other celebrities like, for instance, Patti Labelle called on Ceasar to train her dog(Nassir-A large mastiff type dog), and trust me, that dog was MEAN, but he worked it out. I think this show is really good. Oh, and about CS's comment on commercialism...he has to drive SOME kind of car! C'mon! Loosen up a bit!

Amazed
Well I think that this show can help people to have a better connection with their dogs, and I would watch it each chance I get.

The Snake Oil Salesman of Dog Training
"I've never seen Cesar hurt a dog" is a common response by his fans, however he has hit, kicked, and strung dogs by their collars. He has used shock collars he has forced dogs to endure significant fear and stress. To the average television viewer, they are too hypnotized by the accent and dramatic music, not to mention the man explaining that what he is doing is not hurting the dog (while he hits the dog again). Rene Descartes assured his audiences that animals did not feel pain while he dissected live and conscious dogs and cats. Wake up people. This is not training. It's not even dog "psychology". It's old-school jerk the dog methods that resulted in the euthanasia of too many dogs.
