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!

I have to agree with zinfandog, another use who reviewed this show.. Ceasar is constantly hurting the dogs. While it isn't noticeable at first, he does hit, kick, and use shock collars in his training methods. Like I said, you may not see it onscreen, but many people who have studied his methods say that he does indeed abuse the dogs. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

Becareful! Sometimes it can be a little bit violent.
This show is great! Its kinda like Supernanny only he disciplines dogs, however I think you should becareful if you let your child watch it. 3 years ago I saw an episode of a dog who has mental issues and starts scratching other cats and dogs. So this show is fine for kids but sometimes it can be a little bit violent.
