Are the Dog Whisperer's methods harmful ?

Cesar Millan is known as a miracle working with out-of-control animals. But some trainers think Millan is turning dogs into ticking time bombs.

oh my god i can not believe he used a shock collar, no respectible dog trainer would use a shock collar its jst cruel!!

[Willverinerage]

I do find it interesting that if his ways are supposedly 'the best" why does it say "don't try this at home" before every technique........just sayin'

I don't like his methods, seems like they are about his need for dominance. For a positive and loving approach look at : Zac George's clips.. I have been using them on my rescue dog with HUGE success.

I can't believe that they didn't even mention Cesar's qualifications..... Oh yeah, he hasn't got any! He makes mistakes throughout his shows and frequently mistakes fear for relaxation.

The guy is a bloody idiot and needs to be stopped! People have already been bitten by their own dogs because of his methods and the fact that he condones the use of shock collars is appalling!

Yes, accredited and licensed behaviorists and trainers, and veterinarians feel this way. But I bet all of them don't know what they're talking about and all of Cesar Millan's followers are the ones who really know what they're talking about. Don't you know that alpha rolling a dog that is aggressive due to fear will cure what ails it?

you should NOT show dominance to you dog dogs were breed to listen to humans therefor you do not need to show dominance to your dog. the right way to train a dog is to build a loving relationship with your dog! you can be dominant over anything but that doesn’t build a relationship!TEACH that offering good behaviors gets a reward. besides whoever puts a shock collar on a dog does not deserve to own a dog!

Real trainers do not recommend such techniques. The GSD with the shock collar is a classic case of redirected aggression & the choking of the Korean Jindo until it submits through sheer exhaustion is appalling. Milan is using violent techniques without any actual knowledge of the 4 quadrants of operant conditioning & how & when to apply them.

How to make your dog a ticking time bomb.. it's NOT a matter of opinion... What he is DOING and teaching millions of viewers IS cruelty to animals. I feel very betrayed because I used to read his books and watched his show but than dog I met better instructors than he will ever be. and YES they do work with a lot of 'red zone' dogs who often aren't red zone if you do it RIGHT!.. Go clicker train a dog today!
