@BearSwipes Cesar has never used aggression towards dogs.. You clearly have never watched his show since he ALWAYS talks about CALM ASSERTIVE ENERGY. He never kicks, or hits dogs either. He uses his hand to resemble a quick bite to the dog, and he uses his foot rarely to deliver a firm touch which breaks the dogs intense focus. Cesar is THE BEST dog trainer there is, that's why he IS the Dog Whisperer. Cesar would have never given up on any dog, and he definetly wouldn't have let it be put down

dogs need balance BOTH positive and negative praise when good and a sharp noise when bad, the same with children, Cesar at least TRIES with dangerous dogs, she signed that dogs death warrent and didnt tell the owners about dangerous dog rehabilitation programs that are all over the country, this is why Cesar is better because he gives dog a chance, I am not a fan of either trainer but frankly Cesar is far nicer than that victoria idiot who always uses flimsy research claims to back her up

I don't know why you have such a hard on for the Cesar Milan.

It's weird.

@ Louisepedersen88 -- When I was in hospital I watched every Dog Whisperer season (reruns), and I have never seen Millan inflict pain or fear, or intimidate a dog. He is clear that you must never speak to, look at or touch a dog in anger. As for the quick poke, this imitates the way (and the place) dogs correct each other; he corrects in their language. Tap the muscle of your arm just below the shoulder; that's how much it hurts--i.e. not at all. I'd let him near my dog any day.

First of all...this dog is fear aggressive...this is a behavioral issue that can be corrected. There are dogs that suffer from neurological disorders. Cocker Spaniels for example are prone to rage syndrome (cocker spaniels are known for this). I have dealt with 2 dogs in my career that have been neurologically unsound (pit mastiff mix and Anatolian Shep. mix). This pit, is NOT neurologically unsound...the Victoria dog...was, and the safest and most humane thing was to put him down.

Using aggression to stop aggression does not work. All it does it make the dog fear. All Casar does is kick, hit and SH at dogs to get the results he wants, which is to make them fear him and cower, thus ignoring what they were interested in. He's a terrible trainer, and it seems to me only dumb or aggressive people actually advocate his methods in the first place.

...cont She had a long history of biting children and and her owner was due in three months. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT helped her overcome her fear and Bella has shown no aggression towards their baby boy.

...cont severely bitten the mother. There was no trigger in two of the three cases of Benjy's outbursts. The safest thing to do for the safety of everyone (imagine what would happen if Benjy got loose and some family with kids took him in without knowledge of his condition) was to put him down. Regarding showing aggression towards children, Victoria has dealt with many of these cases. You probably need to watch the Bella episode of It's Me or the Dog....cont

[dontpugme]

Aggression stems from fear or anxiety. Benjy was not aggressive towards children. He simply lacked boundaries from his owner. Plus, other dogs from his breeder showed neurological disorders (a symptom of which is unexplained aggression). There were many signs that Benjy had a neurological condition that no kind of training could mend. It wasn't children in general (although children can be very stimulating with their high pitches and fast movements). Benjy had also...cont

I would never let af person like Cesar Millan touch my dog. Is training i based on fear and he does not understand the dogs body language at all. And I can understand why he have to poke the dog?

All dogs has thing that they don't like or fear, and some dogs never gets over that. But one thing that does not help any one here is to train the dog by poking, threating and getting the dog in situations where it has no control.
