Title: The Dog Whisperer
Post by: texasmom on July 18, 2008, 08:31:27 PM
I just love the dog whisperer [Cesar Millan].  Just an unbelievable man with those animals.

The episode of South Park that he was on was one of the best.

Cartman is a bit more than an Animal though.  :D :rock

The dog whisperer owes a lot to video editing.  You never see the parts where he gets bit...  and he gets bit alot.

His techniques have some merit, but they are also simplistic.  Nobody benifits from a one size fits all approach.

The kids look a little 'upset' at the Buffalo's quantity of parental attention....

the dog whisper is 99% common sense and 1% luck.

the majority of those who "need" the dog whisper, should not have had a pet to start with

just as 100% of those who need the nanny from that retard show, should not have been permitted to breed....

I think you're right. Most of the time, I did see that he was training the owners, not the pets.

That guy is AWESOME!

We had a problem where our German Shepherd would jump all over me when I cam home.  It's really no big deal if you have a Chihuahua or poodle, but when "man's best friend" is 85 lbs of muscle jumps all over you (paws with claws) everyday it's not much fun.

My wife saw an episode on it on his show and in one day--I came home and he was just sitting there, wagging his tail.


That guy knows dogs.

Cesar says he trains owners and rehabilitates dogs, too many people treat dogs like people, they are not people , they are dogs, pack animals, they do not need or want a friend, they want a pack leader.

my two labs know who their pack leader is.

Not exactly all dogs, but have a look.
I met her once, she's pretty cool!

Thank you. If its one thing that drives me nuts, and usually the dog, is people treating them like people.

Blame Walt Disney for that.

My wife is pretty awesome when it comes to training dogs.
She had a Dobie that we had quite a few years ago obeying hand signals in less than an hour.
I have seen her do this many times with many different dogs.
I asked her once how she did that so easily.
She said that she has lots of experience dealing with dogs after living with me so many years.
I haven`t repeated the inquiry. :)

I'm suspicious of anyone that sets themselves up as a guru. Blame it on my transcendental meditation days and Sexy Sadie.

So after watching this guy, I got that feeling and googled him and the term "fraud."

Well he has detractors for sure. I don't know how much he charges ( I get the feeling its thousands), but there is nothing he is doing that the NILIF (nothing in life is free) technique doesn't cover.

That's the secret ... gotta let them know who the alpha dog is right from the get go ... doesn't matter the breed or the size.
