Train Fido

Whenever you mention The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, you are sure to get a definite opinion.  Most people you run into either love him or hate him.  Which one are you?

I am feeling the love.  He has such a great energy and such  a common sense approach when it comes to dogs.  As he is quick to point out, he teaches dog psychology as opposed to dog training.  His favorite mottos seems to be "no talk, no touch, no eye contact" and "calm, assertive energy".

I used to live in Southern California and if I still did, I would do everything in my power to be around his facility.  Especially the new one  - that is in the high desert, I think, around where I used to lived.  Back in the 80's when I lived in California, I was impressed with Mathew Margolis and did go to his training facility.  But Cesar Millan would be even much better to meet.

I believe most everything he says, but I do have to admit, I am still a little unsure about the pit bulls.  Just last week in the local news I heard about a police officer getting attacked by a pit bull and they had to shoot him.  After the dog was dead it still took 20 minutes to get his jaws unclenched. 

I know it is not about the breed, but how they are raised.  But the thought of a dog not letting go is still scary.

I have studied the Dog Whisperer shows and have adopted many of Cesar Millan's techniques and strategies.  He has a natural instinct when it comes to dogs.

What about you? What do you think?
