Five years before Cesar Millan's TV show of the same name, a positive reinforcement trainer, Paul Owens, was using the "dog whisperer" name. As the "original" Dog Whisperer, in 1999 he published two books, "The Dog Whisperer" and "The Puppy Whisperer". With the subtitle "A Compassionate Nonviolent Approach to Dog Training" he has released an updated 2nd Edition, (2007) as well as The Puppy Whisperer (2007). I believe nonviolence fosters nonviolence.
@Interpol017 Well that theory is debatable. There are many legitimate arguments against yours. However, as we are not dogs, we will never know for sure either way. all i know is that we never used treats to train our golden. toys were sometimes used as incentive, but rarely. our training system was a combination of a lot of praise and some corrections. she was an amazingly loving and obedient dog her whole life. and that is the only thing i can say for sure.
@lenalena111 I'm responding to a 2 year old post, but it's a common misconception: people expect their dogs to do things out of love. That's not how it works. Dogs are opportunists, they need incentive. Food is an incentive. That's why most good trainers of any animal use treats. Eventually, the good behavior becomes conditioned and you don't need the treats. The other option is aversive training--punishing the wrong behavior which is what Cesar M does and is kind of crappy.
Right - CM works with choking and jerking and shocking the dogs - this is much better or what do you want to tell us ?? He is just cruel and makes a show out of it - that's all !
This man is really the orign dog whisperer - we work dogs with the same methods and it's great. You don't need to be cruel to dogs to get them, where you want them to be. Even aggressive dogs can be modulated in their behavior - they need borders, yes - but never ever cruelty like CM works with !! Thank You, Mr Owens - teach more people to train their dogs with love and respect !!! My husband and me in Germany do it, too !!
@LeoTheHood if thats true how come with every dog Cesar gets results every dog every time i bet this guy cant deal with nervis dogs like Cesar the dog only does what this fella said for food dogs do what cesar askes because of respect
That statement only tell how much you know about dog training, nothing. just like Cesar, Cesar is very good in hitting kicking choking strangling electricuting, "so called Alpha rolls" and so on, but he know absolute nothing about dog behavior and certainly not about dog training
Try visiting the professional dog trainers websites in USA and you will learn they all agree with me, Cesar is entertainment, nothing else.
