"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.

All the methods used will work with any dog. Cesar show us how to rehabilitate dogs all the while he is training us! I have used his methods on my Labrador and they work wonders as long as everyone in the house is 'consistent'! My dog has a few behaviors that drive us crazy but we are using Cesar's methods to change these behaviors and get us in the "habit" of doing what he needs. Think about it will anyone walk up to a person who is walking in circles acting nutty 'No'. We think that person is crazy, unbalanced has a screw loose and we walk away. But then we see a person sitting on a park bench in a calm state so we sit down and begin talking to them. Aren't we already doing what he is teaching us to be 'calm'.
