I absolutely love the show, it's so great to see so many people willing to change....instead of just "getting rid of their problem dogs". Cesar seems to care so much about each case, he's very genuine. The show is put together nicely, it really keeps your attention. I have a 1 year old bishon named Max, who's actually a very good dog. But I still watch faithfully because you never know...

Well the show is great!!!! I have been training for over 20 years and have never seen anything like it. It really gets down to the major problem of problem dogs, the owners.

Like the show shows, teaching a dog to do something is easy, teaching the owner how to maintain it is another thing. I really hope people, a lot of people, will take head to what you are showing. I have even learned new tricks from the show.

Now for one IMPORTANT question. On one of your recent shows you used a special collar that kept the chocker, nylon I think, up at the top of the neck. That is something I have been looking for for many years. Where Can I Get one (or two)??????

Thanks Mike

Mike: The collar you see is called the Illusion collar. I am anxiously awaiting its availablity to purchase. You can find it on Cesar's website. Cesar explained the collar in a bit more detail on the show from Friday 3/24/06. I keep checking the web site as I will be one of the first to purchase it!

I hope to get a chance to chat with Cesar Friday April 7th!

Anne in RI

I hope I remember the chat on April 7th, I would the opportunity to talk to Cesar live.

Love the show, love Cesar and his way with dogs. I'm most thankful to Cesar for bringing back common sense!!! to dog training. Looking forward to the chat!

I met a "hopeless" 4 year-old, 50-pound Shepherd mix from the local Humane Society a few months ago. She had been chained to a wall in a basement and starved and beaten for a year, it was estimated, before being rescued by the police.

After 6 months of patient work at the shelter, the Society spent another year trying to adopt her out. She launched on everyone, bared teeth and vicious bark clearly demonstrating intent to kill. She defined "red zone".

Then you, channeled through me, showed up. Starting the moment the dog and I met (with no eye contact, etc.) I applied the “calm, assertive energy” and pack leader techniques learned from your show. At first this was, to say the least, challenging and discouraging, but we kept at it until all the toxic energy was gone.

The dog and I returned to the shelter this past Saturday. The volunteer director, who knew all along that a great companion lived somewhere inside this "monster", summed it up best when she said, "It's not the same dog. It just can't be."

As satisfying as it has been to save this animal, what nobody understands but her and I is how all this has begun to rehabilitate the pack leader, as well. It turns out, once again, that you have saved the entire pack.

Thanks, from both of us.

Hi CJ,

That's exactly how I felt when I started watching Cesar's show!

I thought I'd figured out a lot of stuff, which came from a lot of different sources, and my own personal observations and interactions with dogs.

Then Cesar came along and connected some dots, threw in some missing puzzle pieces, explained HOW and WHY his philosophies and methods work, and gave those of us who work with dogs and owners some great "cut-to-the-chase" terminology, which really makes sense.

Cesar, I will never be able to thank you enough!

Andy, please read 'Rover's Last Day': http://chestnutsrun.com/id17.html

Andy,

Last Friday episode showed how to make sure the dog and the newborn baby will live in peace. You may want to watch it.

Hi Andy- Ive got two german shepherds-one of them was not attacking people but my other german shepherd. However the same principles apply-You must establish yourself and your wife as the pack leader-I wasn't doing that myself and thats why my one dog was lashing out at the other-Any fear or uncertainty you exhibit will trickle down to your dog-
I found that "the walk" is extremely helpful in not only helping my 2 dogs get along better but it has real established me as their pack leader on the walks and in the house as well.
Walking with your dog will help your bond-if you have a great bond already it will get better. As you know shepherds are high energy so they need a long walk - I walk mine for an hour most days. Once you have established yourselves as the pack leader, I don't think you will have to worry-but I would consult possibly an obedience trainer if you haven't already done so- I love Cesar and I have learned alot, but as a former obedience trainer I feel obedience and his teachniques work the best together.

This past year I had to put down my 14 yr. old toy poodle who I loved dearly. I have waited 8 months now for the right moment to get another toy poodle. I know it will be different in personality and how it plays and does other things. I know I'm ready for another dog to love, play,
cuddle with. I would like to get one that is a puppy or should I go with one that's an adult. I'm not sure.

I would love to see Cesar do an episode with Basenjis. I have two - they are the loves of my life. But I have no illusion about their nature. They are wild, feral dogs, and notoriously difficult to train with high prey drives, preternatural intelligence and incredibly independent attitudes.

In my house, we have a highly established pack order, which my husband and I reinforce everyday. Walks have always been problematic, but they are slowly getting better. However, my pups remain very aggressive to strangers and other dogs. (This can be a good thing, as they saved me from getting mugged once)

Any Basenji owner will tell you the tales of terror of destruction their pup wreaks. They will also tell stories of aggression, biting, snapping and impossible-to-cure leash pulling.

Basenji owners will also tell you of the incredible love and loyalty and crazy antics these pups are capable of.

But I would LOVE to see Cesar tackle a Basenji - especially in trying to get them to walk behind or not be food aggressive.

J Russell,

Yes, when you come home: no touch, no talk, no eye
contact. My two Lab mixes are so happy and crazy when
I come home. I have been doing Cesar's no touch, no talk,
no eye contact for about two weeks now. They still jump
all over me (and fly at the door before I can open it), but
it has gotten much, much better. I just walk in and stand
tall. After that, they start their running around the
house, sometimes with my sneakers in their mouths, which
means "take us for a walk". What I've been doing for two
days is moving very slowly and calmly during the time I'm
getting ready for our walk (both when I return from work,
and also in the a.m. first thing). As I've mentioned
before, I used to do everything right with my first dog,
a Black Lab. I just basically ignored her, and she was
totally devoted to me and obeyed everything I wanted.
After she passed, someone said to me that I should greet
my dogs with a "HI!!!" and stuff like that. Well, I never
should have listened! Trying to break them (me!) of that
has been really difficult. But try "no touch, no talk,
no eye contact" when you walk into the house, or into a
room, etc. It really, really works!

I love the show, even watch the reruns. I myself don't own a dog at this time but am very pleased to see all the positive things Cesar trains people to do. I see people in my neighborhood walking their dogs more since the show has been on. They all use the Cesar method. I love you Cesar and your darling family. Thanks for helping the Katrina rescued dogs. Do you know if they found their right owners? Keep up the good work and I hope I can get on the chat. Take Care, Sue from New Orleans

I love Cesar's show as well. I've got a "problem" border collie named Tabby that is being helped through his show. She's a bit aggressive being a herding dog and all and was abused as a puppy. She's happier and working hard. We're trying to overcome her fears and watching the show is just amazing. Dog obedience schools don't hold a candle to Mr. Millan.

My other dog is is a "mutt" and is also responding well to our training change.

Thank you so MUCH for helping to re-train all of us dog lovers to be a good pack-leader. We all owe you for helping us change our minds to be better pack leaders.

Nada,

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet. I would suggest getting another poodle but perhaps get one that is 1 or 2 years old. There is a good chance it is already housebroken and you would be doing such a good thing. Older dogs are harder to place. I rescued a 1 1/2 year old poddle for my mother and Shana is now 12 years old and going strong. They are a very special breed of dog.

Good luck.

Pat,

Cesar did a show with a cat/dog problem.
The dog's name is Spike and if you look at the responses to the blog titled, "Yes, you CAN train your dog", response #92 is from the owner of Spike.

Jack Russell's are high energy dogs, and being that he was trained to race, mastering the walk is a must and a very important tool in getting your dog to be submissive. Forgive me if I'm repeating things you all ready know, but never let your dog walk out in front, or control the walk.
Cesar teaches for us to be "calm and assertive" as dogs pick up on the energy we project.

In the show and within the response by Spike's owner, Cesar teaches some techniques to get the dog to learn to be submissive to the cat.

Good luck. :)

Linda G.
It sounds like your friend has lots of experience with dogs. I don't understand why he/she was appalled at the Hootie segment. The training exercise worked. Hootie was made to face and overcome his fear. I found Cesar’s method to be gentle but firm.

Andy
My suggestion is to rule out pain first.
Since you say your dog is older and overweight you might consider pain as the source of the bite. Large breed dogs are more susceptible to arthritis as they age. Being overweight makes the condition worse and causes the dog to be less tolerant. Check with your vet about medication to reduce the pain. Sometimes medication such as prednisone works to reduce the pain and inflamation of arthritis making life easier for the dog. Also observe your dog for licking its legs, front and back, especially around the ankles (pasterns and hocks). This can be a symptom of joint pain. Shoulders, knees and hips can be examined by your vet. When your niece sat next to your dog she may have bumped or applied pressure to the dog’s leg, shoulder or hip causing pain. The “nip” would have been a natural reaction and something that can not be treated with training.

I love the show and I’m SO looking forward to the live chat!

I really enjoy your show. Thank you for all the help. I have a 2 1/2 yr old female Boxer. She is definately the queen of the house. She sleeps on the couch (or in my bed with me and the grandkids when they spend the night). She has been very easy to train and does many tricks--however, when she wants to go outside she will playfully growl, bark, grab my hands and feet to get me to let her out. She bites my shoes all the way to the door. When I'm getting ready for work in the morning (or whenever she wants my attention)she will play the "Look What I've Got Game" (a sock, my husband's hats or paper to shred). When my grandkids (or anyone) sit next to me on the couch she will get on the couch between us--often actually sitting on me or the other person (she weighs about 80 lbs.) Any ideas or suggestion appreciated.

Hey 28 Hayden!

My favorite place is Ryans Pet supply (ryanspet.com) their prices are great too and here is where you could find some dog packs - http://www.ryanspet.com/ryanspet/Category.asp?categoryCode=72&vendorID=& (no commercial interest).

Has Cesar ever given advise on how to handle a dog attack? For example if someone else's dog came at you when you are walking by their yard etc? Being calm and indiferent or scolding them if they come too close usually works for me but I wonder if there are some dogs that would go for you anyway.

I have a pitt bull who has been a rescue dog and has been very gentle natured. However a couple of times he has snapped when laying down and approached from behind with a petting motion. He is allowed on the couch and has done this when he's on the couch. Not sure if that is a contributing factor. How can we correct this behavior?

Thank you,

Brian

Now, I have a question. Hopefully someone might undertstand, but I sure dont. I cant figure out why , but my dog loves to play with all dogs, except for one. Inuki is a well balanced dog with excersise, discapline, and affection last. He is very well behaved, always smiling and tail wagging lightly, and is submissive by nature, but he hates my co-workers un-neutered male husky. the husky is playful and friendly to my dog, but my dog does not want to play with him. If the husky tries to sniff my dog, my dog bares his teeth and stiffs his back fur. My dog has attacked her dog, and I know that her dog is not balanced. I always make my dog submit to her dog when he acts aggressively to the husky. I wish that I could fix this problem, she is my freind and i would like for them to just get along. Is is because my dog is neutered and hers is not? Most of the dogs that he plays with are spayed and neutered. Is it because I am doing something wrong? I didscipline him before he looks at the husky that way. I even tried walking them together before meeting. I wish that i knew why he acts this way only around this dog. Any opinions are appreceated.

Thanks so much K2 and CJ!!!! I guess I never really looked at it as she was just excited to see the dogs. I was always just like "Oh no she's gonna attack them!!!" I went to google and clicked in Dog Backpack. Now the hard thing is picking which one is best!!! I'm gonna try to work with Valentine and other dogs as much as possible. She really likes just about everyother animal, infact her best animal friend is a horse!!! K2, I really do think dogs can get there feelings hurt, Cesar is just saying certain things like, not getting all excited when you get home to you're dogs after a being at work all day while their jumping all over you, is not neccisarily hurting there feelings. Well I got to go take Valentine out!!!

Thanks again for the help!!!

Hello Cesar,
How I wish you would come to the Chicagoland area. We rescued on Ridgeback-Shephard mix approx.4-5 years old and about 70 lbs of muscle. She is extremely loveably, but she want to be dominate over most of my girls (3 of them), she growls alot... we have taken her to training and I have to use a gentle leader with her when I walk her because I do not have contol of her if I do not have that on her.
We cannot get her social with other dogs because she is so domainate and she went after our neighbors G. Shephard one day and now EVERYONE is afaid of her. She didn't bite her...just went after her to prove she is dominate. I have an indoor cat with no claws and the dogs has never hurt him. We watch your show and Thank goodness for that. We have used your techniques and walked her and used the leash on the higher part of her neck and that has improved her behavior alot. She goes out the door after us, we go 1st. I love your show..I wish you would come so we could socialize our dogs with our neighbors and they aren't afraid of her.
I don't think we would ever be able to do it on out own. We love her and are will to work with her so if you have any advise on what we can do to help improve her behavior we would gladly accept it. We walk her and we have her on a chain in the back until we can afford a fence, but even then we will still walk her because we have learned from you its a good balance for the dog. We would love her to be off leash to run and play, but we are to afraid, and we KNOW our neighbors would have a heart attack. If you ever decide to come to Chicago please come to our house...I know we would love you for it and so would our neighbors and of course our dog ;-) Thanks for loving dogs the way you do... with out you I would not have learned as much as I know.
Many Blessings,
Guard Family

I just love the show ... We own four dogs all that have come to our home at different times and all differnt sizes. The last one we brought in to our pack when we took notice that she was not being treated correctly at her prior home and asked if we could own her. We were told that she would not listen had food aggression and did not do well in a home with other dogs. Well lets just say she's in doggie heaven she comes when we call she allows us to take and place her dinner dish while she eats her and the other three play musical dish at dinner time and the funny thing is they wait until the one in the bowl moves on.
Much love and alot of watching Cesar helped us with her thank you so much for all your help and love of dogs. I will keep watching we still are working with one in the pack who keeps wanting to stop the others from coming outside at potty time. Using the we are the pack leaders and coming to her and stopping her in her tracks seems to work as well as making her wait to go outside last but it's slow progress again we love u Cesar

I love the show i enjoy it so much I sit and watch the muilt showings .
We have a problem that we have not been able to correct, we have not been able to get our dogs not to charge for the door when someone rings the bellbarking our of control.... any one have idea's since I am dealing with more then one dog at a time .. and then people cant even get in the door...

Dear Cesar,
I am a consearn owner of two pitbulls, a femal and a male the oldest is the female dog her name is Chacha she is the mother of the male dog, but anyways a couple of tdays after she had her puppies (to make the story short ) she got out and since my huband and I were not kout side she got a aggresive vith one of our neighbors and now he is tretening us to call animal control so she can get put down, now I dont know what to do because I dont want them to take her, now before this she was a good dog she would let everyone pet her. since these happened now all of my neighbors dont want us to own the other dog, please Ceaser help us I undestand them beighn afraid but I know these type of breeds arent harmfull I dont know what Iam doing wrong please help us I dont want my dogs to be put down, please I am "te lo suplico"

sincerely,

adriana

Hello acw,

Please get a hands-on behaviorist/trainer to help you at home. Classes are great for socialization and training, but you need in-home help from someone who specializes more in behavior and dog psychology. It's usually what we do at home in our day to day interactions, that needs to be observed.

This is still a very young dog, a puppy. So, please keep this in mind. I'm glad you're getting a handle on this before he weighs 200 lbs and/or hits the terrible two's! What puppies practice in play, can get very serious as they grow up.

Pay close attention to how Cesar interacts with the dogs and owners on his show, and use his principles including the daily walk.

I love Mastiffs. I used to babysit for a couple who had a pair of English Mastiff show dogs. My favorite dog to work with locally, is a young, 150lb Tibetan Mastiff. They are wonderful!

I wish you all the luck with your dog! :)

Deb

Hi everyone! I, too, have gained so much from Cesar! My beloved French Bulldog, Walter, died back in December, after choking on a Greenie. I got a new puppy, a brindle Frenchie named Winston. He is now 5 months old and I have some issues that I need help with and I haven't seen Cesar work on these. One is dogs who "howl" when you leave the room. The other is how to stop your dog from eating its own feces. I have read about the latter and know it is a problem with many dogs, in fact, there's a name for it "caprophacia." I am working on getting Winston to stop doing that. The howling, however, is another story. If you have any ideas or suggestion, I would welcome your input. Thanks so much.

i have learned a lot from cesar most especially "the walk". Can't wait for the release of season 1 dvd on may 23, a little expensive $69) but probably worth it.

Hi there. I need some advice. Ok my little Smartie Pants lab pup 4.5 months is scared to death of bigger dogs at the dog park. She runs with her tail between her legs and snaps at the bigger dogs that approach her. This behavior of course encourages the other dogs to go after her. I remain calm and assertive and move the other dogs away (for the most part) then she just cowards at my legs. I try not to give any affection to her cause I don't want to encourage this behavior. She is fine with little dogs it is just with the bigger ones. They can even be calm submissive friendly kinda dogs and Smartie snaps at them. I walk and walk and she does very well on our walks now. I am trying to get her used to other dogs because she does become excited when we meet dogs on our walk. I am very worried I will do the wrong thing so because the problem isn't getting any better I thought I would blog and see what help I can get. I am so grateful to all I learn from Cesar and you all. Thanks very much.

I agree with Cesar when he says that both the family members have to work with the dog also. I am working with our Springer trying to get her trained and then my husband seems like he lets her do what ever she wants and it is taking me longer. He has also watched the show and hears what he says about the whole family.....he just doesn't get it. I guess I will have to lay down the law and train him......I will have to kick him off the computer when the live chat is going on so I can see what Cesar has to say about some of the problems......

Diane,
About the feces-eating -- one of my dogs eats our other
pets' feces (our other dog, and our cats' out of the
cat box ICK!). He doesn't eat his own, or any dog's not
part of our pack. The only solution I have come up with
is that I have to clean it up first. He's a working breed, and I believe he saw me cleaning up the feces and felt that he ould take on that "job" as his own.
If we're in the ard, he will literally out-run me
to get to the dropping irst! Almost like it is a game!

There are supplements you can add to his food
which will apparently make his feces taste different --
the theory being that it will be unappetizing. I think
these supplements contain an enzyme of some kind. I
personally don't like the idea of messing with mother
nature in that way, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
I mean, who knows what that can do to a dog's digestive
system?

acw: There are tons of trainers in my area that come
to the house. One that I know about comes to the house
for three one-hour lessons, once a week, for three weeks. You practice one hour a day in between lessons. He
comes to the house all three times. The fourth time, he
comes to the house with HIS dogs, to see how yours will
socialize. There must be trainers like this everywhere.
It was a little expensive, but well worth it!

Debi: Sounds like Smartie Pants just needs to find his
place in dog society(socialization). It should eventually
come naturally. What you probably shouldn't do is avoid
situations with other dogs, no matter what size, or you'll
end up like me with a very big dog that is hard to handle
around other dogs! Socialize him early and get him used
to other dogs, and you'll probably never have the problems
I've had! (Speaking of -- I had a very triumphant walk
this morning. We walked right by the loose dog who runs
after us, and I just looked straight ahead and so did my
dogs! In both directions!! No pulling, no dragging me on
the ground! No barking, no yelling (me!) No greeting the
other dog. We just ignored him. I was smiling from ear to floppy ear!!)

I know this is the wrong place for this. Belongs in the January 30th "What are your feelings about rescue organizations?". I'm not an organization but a friend of mine sent me this. We don't know who wrote it but it sure sounds like me and I'm sure you guys too!

I am an animal rescuer…..
My job is to assist God’s creatures.
I was born with the need to fulfill their needs
I take in new family members without plan, thought or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body

I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends
I don’t often use the word “pet”
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches….
I have hand raised a field mouse
And made friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time

I want to live forever if there aren’t animals in Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and then leave it behind
We may be master of the animals,
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven’t learned

War and abuse makes me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
Making a difference every day

There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
Nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
And no greater joy than seeing a young one play.

I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done,
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heard is always full………

Deb and K2,

Thank your for the advice. I realize I need to work on the warm and fuzzy part of my personality in order to get the dog to respect me, but I am in it for the long hall. I am going to look into a trainer coming to the house. The trainer I use now does not believe in food rewards. She has basically the same ideas as cesar with a few differences here and there. I am a person who learns best visually and that is why I love Cesar's show. But my dog is soooooo strong already at 3 months which is why I need to get this under control. Don't get me wrong he has gotten a little better and I know it just takes time, energy, and patience. For example, when he bites me, or goes to bite me, I tell him no in low stern voice and give a tug on his pinch collar for a correction. Well 9 times out of 10 he will roll on his back, start growling, and twisting and turning in any way just to get me. I do not let go until he settles down, which can take a while. Then he relaxes and will begin to lick me. So it seems like it is working but who knows. Have there been any episodes of the Dog Whisperer that have focused on puppies with this type of behavior because I have not seen one?

I have a 2 1/2 year old #105 neutered male German Shepherd and a 1 1/2 year old #80 spayed predominantly German Shepherd female. The female is dominant over the male. When I walk them individually they can be walked in stores and at the park but when I walk them together they become hooligans.They totally forget their training. They bark at and lunge at other dogs. I have muzzled them on their walks but they still pull and lunge. I have read about this behavior in loose dogs that terrorize the neighborhood or flocks when their masters are not present but I haven't read anything on how to stop this behavior when on a leash. When leashed the male pretty much ignores other dogs. On the leash the female is fearful of other dogs and people [she was kept in a backyard with her parents until she was 13 wweks old then had to be house bound due to having not been given vaccinations before I got her and a parvo outbreak in my neighborhood- so she missed her socialization period]. Neither dog lunges while alone on a leash. I would really like to walk them together but right now it is not safe. I have asthma and having to walk the dogs separately is hard when the asthma flares up. I have not seen an episode on this problem yet. I intend to take both dogs to a trainer at the same time so he/she can see what they do when together. But I would like some of your insight into what they are thinking? Thank You, Stumped in San Diego

Hi, my name is Hailey and i am 12 years old. I have 3 male dogs and they are not trained. One of them has a problem with urinating an i dont know how to stop it. Do you? If so then e-mail me at my yahoo mail which is, haileyg94@yahoo.com.

Tim

WE HAVE A 6 MONTH OLD BEAGLE THAT WE LOVE AND ADORE WE TAKE HIM TO THE DOG PARK AT LEAST 3 4 TIMES A WEEK AT FIRST IT SEEMS HE WAS DOING GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS. But the last couple of weeks he has had aggresive issues with smaller puppies and some other dogs. he's at the adolsence age of a dog is what I was told from others but we do not like the way he gets with smaller dogs. My wife is on the point of giving up ans is so upset to the point of tears because he made a little pup walk away with a lip I don't know what else to do. He's a beagle it's just hard to understand why now all of a sudden he is beign aggresive towards other dogs NOT ALL BUT SOME. my wife and i treat and discipline the dog diffrent, she says That i treat him like a baby that I need to be more stern with him and that i have to stop thinking of him as a human baby, because he ISN'T. my wife and I have had fights among each other about this situation and she feels that she wants to get rid of the bentley and i don't he a good dog with small problem that I would love to fix . He loves the dog park like I said it's just smaller dogs that he has issues with. casear please if anything you can do to help would be greatley appreciated i love this dog and my wife as well but we don't want to have to go to the park unleashing him annd wondering if hes going to attack that dog is he going to ignore him. or what he gets into this tran his eyes god dark he doesnt foucs on anything else but that dog. We watch your show all the time and we are amazed on what you can acheive with you talent with dogs, if there is anything you can do to help us would be wonderful. I understand that you must get tons of emails about dogs with problem that people want you to help, and i understand you can't be evey place all in one time or help every dog that needs help, if at all possible to please email me back with any infromation that can help or possible have you personaly come down to help would be appreciated. This dog is like our child since we are unable to have children we also have 3 cats in the home that he doesn't attack please if you can find it in your heart to at least give us a response back on what we can do would be great. Once again thanks for all the dog whipser shows they have shown us a lot to treat our bentley. and many help full tips as well, but it looks like we need more help with this one problem
we are located in slc utah, bentley was sent here from california from my fater and was great . we hope to hear from you and any tips, comments you have for us.

George,
Cesar doesn't answer questions here. Have you seen his program on dog parks? I believe he has a blog on it here.

Do you take Bentley on structured walks before going to the dog park? Cesar says to do this first, the dog park should not be the place your dog gets his exercise.

He recommends the walk first and establishing yourself and your wife as the pack leader before going to a dog park.

When you walk your dog, do you make sure he is never out in front, but at your side or behind?

Perhaps you will consider getting Cesar's DVD, "People Traiing for Dogs" and his book which is due out the first week of April? And consulting a trainer in your area. I don't believe Cesar travels outside of Calif. and I don't think he does home visits anymore but for his shows.

Have you looked on his web site for info about trainers and seminars that Cesar does? His other site is

Good luck, sure hope you don't have to give up your dog, his problems can be rehabilitated.

Should you be worried if a breeder doesn't want you to see the puppy's mother or father? I am interested in getting a Coton, and the breeder is hesitant to have us visit to look at the parents and/or facilities. Should this be a dealbreaker?

I have only watched your show a few times, but I have friends that rave about it! I have a very unusual dog that has been extremely challenging and I also thought he would be a great challenge for Cesar. He is a 10-yr old Australian Cattle Dog mix that we adopted from a shelter when he was 6 months. Because he is a busy, active breed we have always provided him with a lot of physical activity and mental stimulation. However, at 10 he has still not slowed down and we have not been successful at breaking him of some very bad habits. Any suggestions on how to address a very headstrong (yet, not an alpha dog) dog is appreciated.

This is probably completely off subject but I need help.. I have a 1 year and 3 month old English Mastiff and a 2 1/2 year old Boxer. Just recently they have begun to fight. Most of the fights are started by the Mastiff and because of his size and strength the boxer is no match for him. I just recently got both dogs neutered, thinking this might help with the Mastiffs aggressive behavior. How wrong I was about that. The last fight the two dogs got into was so horrible. Once we were able to get the Mastiff off the boxer (which is the hardest thing to do) they both walked away with battle wounds.
I thought that maybe the Mastiff just didn't like the boxer. We gave the boxer to a family friend who in turn now has to return the Mastiff back to us because he is aggressive towards her animals as well.
I talked to a trainer in the area and they said, their are no guarentee's for the aggression to stop towards other animals especially other dogs.
I have grown very attached to the Mastiff and love him very much.. I dont want to get rid of him but I am afraid their is no other choice. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME...

we love your show. we have our own pack of dogs,5 of them,your show has helped us alot. i watch everyone of your shows and i have a question about daddy,i just love that dog. ceasar, what is wrong with daddys front right leg?

Ewa, Thanks for your words of encouragement. After
feeling bad about the cat attack all day yesterday, I
realized that I think my neighbor's husband may have
kicked my dog or something to get him to stop. I'm not
mad about that, necessarily, because like I said I couldn't
get to him -- he was in back of the house, and I was trying
to hold back my other dog who did come to me. I never
saw the husband until I went over to the house afterwards.
These people once had a French Mastiff who was
the meanest dog on the whole street. He would try to bite
joggers and stuff. He and my second dog hated one another
with a passion. They gave away the Mastiff after
their son was born. I think that they are not good pack
leaders, and I think they project a particular kind of
energy because whenever my dogs are off leash, where is
the first place they go? Into their yard to cause trouble.
When those people come home from work, my dogs go berserk
barking. They don't do that when anybody else comes home.
I just think there is some kind of bad energy there.
These neighbors were never able to completely control
their dog, and used old-fashioned aggressive methods to
do so. It was just an awful lot of bad energy, and that's
how I think they got my dog to stop yesterday by doing
something aggressive and dominant to him. Kicking, or
whatever. Like I said, the dog came WALKING back to me,
slowly, as if something had happened to stop him in his
tracks. He has more energy than any dog I've ever owned, and he was walking slowly. Very out of character.

My dog can be very stubborn, and he obviously
got into a red zone where he wasn't going to notice
anything but that cat. Also, for the rest of the day, and
last night, he just laid around -- which leads me to think
he may have been bruised or something. Anyway, I'm just
going to let it go -- I'm not going to confront them or
anything. I was in the wrong, letting the dogs run loose
and not having control over them. The guy had to do what
he had to do to save his cat, and I totally understand.
I'm just grateful that it was a couple of minor injuries
to my dog, and nothing more serious to them or us.

I walked the dogs separately once yesterday afternoon,
and again this morning. It was awesome! What a stress
reliever. The bad part was getting them separated first
thing this morning. I ended up using the baby gate.
The each barked, inside the house, the entire time I was
gone with each dog. I got extra exercise today -- so a
great benefit for me. How can I get each to stop the
separation barking while I'm out walking the other dog?
How can I get them to calm down and wait their turn?

My puppy pug is doing ok,,, she is 5 months and enjoying her walks "by my side and not the front, after 30 minutes of plain walk,, she is in my back and she just follows and she is in the walking mode,, head up looking straight,,, I am so proud of Moly, that is her name,,, I see dogs pulling foward to the side even jerking their owners,,, we just passed by she is focus in her walk,,, she doesnt even pay attention to other dogs, am I lucky or what? and she is only 5 months,,,,, ok,, and here is my problem, not about her but about me....she sleeps in her crate all nite long,, and I am so eager to sleep with her,, I want to bring her to my bed,,, and I am thinking "am I going to spoil her good behavior????? am I nuts? what do you think?????

Hi Lois,

I think it all boils down to becoming an effective "pack leader" with our dogs. Dogs that are balanced and well adjusted don't exhibit a fear of everything.
Btw, I really appreciate and admire people who rescue dogs from animal shelters, it's obvious you have a very loving and generous heart. :)

Have you began by taking him on structured walks, Cesar's way? According to Cesar it's vital we take our dogs on walks for 45min. minimum daily, making the dog sit and wait at the door til you have exited and then never allowing the dog to walk in front, but rather along side or better, behind.

How are you trying to calm the dog down? We have to be careful we're not in acutality nuturing the behavior we're trying to correct.

It's been my experience that dogs who are fearful have not learned to trust the leadership of their humans. It's vital we establish that we're the pack leaders, exhibiting calm and assertive energy. Dogs are very sensitive to the energy we project. If you're tense and nervous your dog will pick up on this and behave accordingly. By, "you" I mean everyone, myself included.

Have you considered purchasing Cesar's DVD, "People Training for Dogs"? He also has a book coming out in a few days.

I've seen Cesar rehabilitate dogs with the behaviors you're speaking about, so it can be done.

Good luck. :)

I am going to be getting my daughters 2 yr. old boxer in a few weeks. She just graduated from college and moved to Chicago. Her new job has some very long hours. So she asked us if we could keep her dog. We agreed. Her dog does not like to be crated and when she is in the crate, she goes potty. My daughter started to have problems with her chewing and crating since she took this new job. When she would bring her dog here for weekend or holiday visits, her dog had so much anxiety, that she would potty in the house. I plan on starting with the walking everyday, but eventually, I will need to leave the dog alone. Any suggestions on how I can do this? I know I can start to crate her a little everyday, like 5 minutes and increasing the time as long as she is good. Her dog is such a sweet dog, but just has issues with separation anxiety.

In November we rescued a 12 year old cocker spaniel, who has feel in love with our 14 year old daughter. The dog and my daughter are always together. The problem that we are having the dog will not do anything without my daughter, she won't eat, go outside nothing. The other night we tried to trim the hair on her feet and the dog bite her and my husband, now what do we do. Do we put the dog down in worries that she will bite someone else or just kiss the wounds and hope that all goes well.

Norma,
I totally agree with K2 and Sara, my husband won't let our two dogs sleep on the bed with us, but when he is out of town I do! They know the rules and never try to get on the bed unless I invite them and it works great.

JB,

Please don't put your dog down without exhausting all of Cesar's techniques!

The whole family must be on the same page in conveying to the dog your family is the pack leader.

Take the dog on structured walks as per Cesar's techniques, i.e., have the dog sit at the door and wait while the whole family exits first and don't allow the dog to walk in front of the family. That's the first place to start in the family unit becoming the pack leader.

Once you have established the family as the pack leader corrections of behaviors will follow much more easy.

You must convey to the dog biting is not acceptable. He can learn.

It's wonderful you have given this boy a chance, not many people will adopt a dog at that age, so you are to be commended, highly!

Please get Cesar's DVD, "People Training for Dogs".

Good luck :)

Cesar's program should be taught at every SPCA and animal shelter to help promote good handling by prospective adopters. His education of animal instincts and behaviors and his direct, caring, and honest approach with owners will truly change more than the dog world for the better.

Hi Cesar,

I can't tell you how helpful your show and your tactics have become to my business. You see I am a pet sitter, and all these techniques I have applied with my doggie clients. Even my family calls me Gigi the Dog Whisperer. I also believe some people do have a special "magic" with animals and those are able to perceive more into the insight of an animal. It is a gift!
Cesar, I just love you! Great Show! Maybe you can visit me in NC. Pet sitting business is booming and you could be a great speaker for this busines; as I know you were also a pet sitter. Also kudos for being a prominent latino!

Best Regards,

I love your show and I always try to see each episode. Me and my family enjoy wacthing it and learning from you.But I was wondering when is a good time to start traning you dog. Cause I have an 10 week old German shepard and at times when I try to train him he just ignores me. When should I start putting my foot down on discipline. I'm thinking he is still too young. Most of the dogs you deal with are older how about the puppies. (Except those 2 Rots which where 6 months)

Hi my 2 year old female border collie has put on quite alot of weight in the last month or so and she leads an active lifestyle and she only gets fed once a day plus she doesnt have alot of treats so i see no reason for her to put on weight-could this weight increase be a result of an illness that we dont know about?please help me

Yours-Tim

I have just become a Cesearista and I am so impressed with all the great logic. My book will arrive soon, but I am hoping from some extra insight. We have a 4 yr. old Spinone, Luigi, and a 7 month old Griffon, Tulip. We are shocked that the little Griff is very agressive with the older 100 lb. dog. I just completed an obedience class, and while I am slowly becoming the pack leader, the 45 lb. Tulip is biting and scratching Luigi's neck, chest, and feet to no end. He actually hides from her in his crate. Our walks are a bit choatic and not consistant enough, but we are improving on that as well. Luigi, however, just isn't the same, great, exhuberant dog he had been. Any suggestions on how to get Tulip submissive to Luigi, and more importantly to me? Thanks.

Hi A,
We too have a dog who likes to steal your food. My husband would put food in his hand & put it near the dog and say "no" and Shhhh when the dog came too close, then he would hold food out while sitting etc. & ignor the dog unless he came near it. He would do this with plates of food too. it worked for us, now we can leave food on the counters too.

It is so nice to see all the dog lovers here. I have been watching the show since the first season. Ceasar has added greatly to my knowledge of body language and the workings of a canine mind. It is important to keep in mind that no matter how human a dog may seem he still thinks like a dog.
I have been around all kinds of animals all my life. We have three dogs right now. All were rescued. The most recent is a jack russell female that is two years old. We have had her for two days now. She was abused and is nearly starved. I can see every rib and hip bone. She is sweet but still timid around humans. Thankfully she is adjusting well in the pack. She is carrying her tail higher now also so I think she is gaining confidence. Her food intake is also increasing. I have high hopes for her but I know its going to take alot of patience.
I look forward to the live chat on Friday. Thank you Ceasar for all the work you do. You are a true hero.

I have always taken in rescues,the newest is a 2mth. old chihuahua he was born in Texas, shipped to CT. the owner could'nt keep him, he was bounced from home to home I now have a very aggressive puppy.He beats up the other chi. and mini poodle he acts and sounds like a "junk yard" dog I despretly need some advice hope to get the chance to talk with you Ceaser. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear from you quicly!!!!

Dear Cesar,

I am such a fan...You are amazing. I try to do what you say, but I do think I am a big part of the problem because I am so nervous when I walk her...(her reaction to other dogs. I watch your show every week and truly appreciate your dedication. If you are every in the St. Augustine, Fl., area......I know you get this request alot. Thanks for all you do .....Fram

I really love dogs, especially Dobermans. When I was younger I belonged to our local Humane Socities and the Kennel Club. Due to unfortantant events, and my advancing age, I no longer pertisipate in these activities. I have 2 Dobermans which really keep me going, but I am afraid I need them for my own personal comfort, they provide my need to love and to be loved. They are my life and I don't know how I could live without Dobes in my life. The saddest part, I have no modavation nor desire to work with them.I feel really bad for them....I know depression is at fault here. What advice can you give me ???
Thank You,
Carol
P.S Hope ypu'll edit this message because my spelling is bad.

I really enjoy watching the show. It gives some good advise on alot of breeds & concerns. I own 2 American Pit Bull Terriors(adopted)and would like to see Cesar, do a show on the breed. To let all concerned about the breed, know what kind of dog they really are & can be. Instead of all the hype, that follows them around now-a-days. I know Cesar, could change some of the poor points on the breed. This would make for an interesting episode to all.

We love Cesar and have successfully used his techniques with our dogs. We have a problem we would like to see Cesar address which is traveling with your pet. We have a 5 yr. old rescued Keeshond who is very nervous riding in a vehicle whether caged or not. Whenever the vehicle stops, he begins barking incessantly and will not stop until the car begins moving or he is removed. We have tried voice commands (drowned out), water, bitter apple and simply waiting for him to stop. Nothing has worked and we desparately need your help as we are RV'rs and USED to enjoy our travels.

I love Cesar's shows and I watch them religiously! Right now I have two Golden Retrievers who are complete opposites, one is calm and independent and the other is hyper and excitable. After watching so many of his shows I am able to walk them both with just a collar and leash, whereas before I would have to walk them with gentle leaders. Bailey, the calm one often challenges my leadership and using Cesar's techniques I am able to make him the follower! I hope to be a dog trainer and open a rescue center for misunderstood dogs like pit bulls after i graduate high school then college! Thank you Cesar!!!!!!! :)

Looking forward to getting your book. Great to see a Weim on the cover. I have learned a lot from your shows and pass your method on to the students in my pet obedience classes.

I have been a fan for a long time now. Over the past winter my husband started watching with me and he was impressed. Now we watch, learn and do together. Our baby is a 1yr old boxer and the training lessons we learn from his show has made a world of difference. Thank you Cesar for bringing joy to dog owners everywhere.

I watch the Show every Friday. I love it, I am learning to train me and my babies (two pits which need some help getting along with each other. But with jumping on people and me, we learning.

K2 Sarah and Lorie, thanks for your advice, I really aprecciate it. I wonder now if Ceasar ever slept with one of his dogs, or allow his kids to have a pet at home???? I love so much Ceasar Millan, I want to know more about his family, is not enough to see them sometimes in the show, hahahhaha,,, I saw him on Martha Stewart, yesterday on TLC at 6pm ET ..I dont watch that show but I couldnt miss Ceasar advices. And now he is going to stop by on The View show, I wonder what would he talking about... I can hear him alredy: dogs need discipline boundaries and limitations, then love hahahaha... my son says that I am obsessed with The Dog whisperer ways, well, it is working for me,,, my puppy dog Molly is doing fantastic, she is a doll and cant wait to see the results when she is finally an adult dog, for now I am just doing well as a pack leader...((wagging my tale)) haha.

I have 2 dogs i havent introduced yet, the older one is 7 and the younger one is three.They are father and son Dingo mixed. We gave the puppy to my grandson and his mom and dad got divorced, he had him in a yard where a chow was always fighting him,and not letting him eat! So i went and saved him and had to have tubes put in to drain.Now here is my problem the older one wont let me let him out of the bedroom,i have to put him in another room so i can take the 3yr. old out, Cache the oldest is very alfa. Please help! i want to save my grandsons dog for him.Vickie

We just rescued a 5 year old border collie two days ago. He is a nice dog, however he is dominate aggressive with our 7 year old daughter. My husband and I are the pack leaders in his eyes, like setting rules and boundries. He growls at her. He growls when she tries to take him for a walk and when she tries to make him get off the couch. We give him a firm no when he gets on the couch and never let him jump up there but he tries it with her. He thinks he is higher in the pack then her. I don't want her to back off but I don't want her to get receive a bite either, what do we do?

I never miss your show about time someone came up with this great idea on training dogs.I would like to know what you feed your dogs and if you have any dogs with air borne allergies if so what do you do.

We adopted a bassador- a basset hound mixed with a laborador. He looks like a black lab, but has the short legs and stubbornness of a basset. Our main concern is his running away. He tends to bolt after our daily visits to the dog park end and all the other dogs start to leave. He will bolt out the gate and run to catch up with one of the other dogs. He does not follow any commands while in this excited socialable state. I am fearful he will be hit by a car. HELP! Any suggestions from anyone?

I have an 8 year old female rescue sheltie, "chloe" who is generally submissive and loving. But when we want to leave the house she goes ballistic-barking, circling jumping, etc. This happens whenever either one of us leaves. We have tried all things that we could think of, but she still does the activities but perhaps at a lower level. Also, when she is walkeeed, she reacts to cars by barking and pulling at the leash. I pull up on the leash and get directly in to her face and hold her head, She is slowly improving and I reward her with a bit of food when she does not react to cars. I understand that this is possibly herding behavior, but our other two sheltie, which we had from pups, did not show this excessive behavior. Chloe has been behavior trained and some agility by her previous owner. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE as we really love her and we are not a young couple.

Hi Cesar....I am so glad that you are on the NG Channel and look forward to watching you each week. I don't know if you can help. I know how important it is to have a dog get plenty of exercise. However, I have a disability which makes it very hard for me to get my Pomeranian out for a long walk. Any other suggestions as to how to handle this situation? We have been working consistently with a trainer about her other issues and they are helping her, but the exercise is still a problem. Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to hear what to do.

I have taught my Yorkie how to give kisses. Have I taught him to be dominant over me? If so, how do I get him to stop?

I really LOVE the Dog Whisperer and go along with everything Cesar has said. I hope to get a dog soon, I have 2 cats (good-luck to me!) and I hope one day I'll meet Cesar!!!!!!! Love HIM

Hi Cesar, I tried to talk to last evening but I wasn't able to. I know that there were so many people trying to talk to you also so I know it was just luck. I hope that when you receive my e-mail you might be able to respond so at least I will know. As for you as a person I wish their were more people like you in this world. Your show is the BEST!!!! I live in a Dog Friendly Apt. Building in New York in Westchester County. I tell everyone that has a Dog about your show & that I never seen anyone like you. Also my friends including my Vet who is in Scarsdale New York. I have a Dobie who is just 3yrs. I got her when she was 5 months & she came from a Breeder upstate NY who has been breeding 29yrs. The problem is that she was on a farm like setting & not exposed to all the noise of the city including the elevator where I live that she got used to but the large trucks an seeing garbarge or anything that moves including a plastic bag flying in the street!! She is loving & not afraid in the house only outside. This is my 3rd Dobie I love them so much but didn't get them from a breeder & were more used to being around noise. I have had an accident since I have her & it so hard for me to walk her with her pulling me I afraid that I will fall again & maybe wind up in the hospital. I was hoping that if you come to New York that I would be able to have you come to my home & HELP Carmella!!!!!! Again I truly hope that you can help, I want to wish you & your family many more years of Blessing all these animals that you help & I know that these animals can't tell you by talking but their
actions to us say it all!!

Cesar, thank you so much for listening to me & I do so much
appreciate it. There is no other person or show out there like yours.

God Bless you & your family

Hi, I love watching Cesar's show and my husband and I are working very hard to maintain our dominance in our pack. We acquired our small standard poodle (8 mos. old and recently neutered - 33 lbs.) about three weeks ago and are finding him to be a jewel. He's very responsive to our wishes, has never messed in the house, loves to go for walks and chase balls and rubber bones and has been very good with our grand children and our daughter's older border collie dog.

Our only problems are over-exuberance when we return home from going to the gym. He tends to get into chewing things so we put him in the crate while we are gone (about 1.5 hours). He enters the crate reluctantly but doesn't whine or bark once in. However when we let him out he goes wild and runs around crazily. He even accidentally pulled my husband's laptop off the table. How would you suggest we be retrained to deal with this situation? Any help would be appreciated.

I think That Mr.Millan is super Cool! He not only takes charge of the troubled animals, but the people that are in volved also. Mr. Millan, you are wonderful! I watch your program faithfully. And I can't wait to get your new book thats coming out. I hope you never stop the wonderful work you do. YOU ARE AWESOME MAN!!!

I have a problem with my dog and we do not know what to do now. We have a cocker lhasa apso mix that is 1yr 5 mos old. He is typically a good dog but has now attacked my husband twice in 10 days.

When he was neutered I brought him home and he bit me when I tried to move him (I had to go to the ER) but he is completely forgiven for that incident since he was sedated at the time.

Last summer we had a cookout at our house and my husband's uncle picked him up and he bit him on the nose. We were upset but also forgave him for that since he had come into the house to try to get away from the people and the uncle had come in and picked him up when he was asleep.

However, two weeks ago he was on the couch with my husband. My husband was petting him for about 15 minutes with no problem (tail wagging, licking his hand, etc). The dog suddenly attacked his hand. He didn't just bite it...he attacked. We took him to the vet that afternoon to verify that nothing was wrong with him, he didn't have any health issues, etc. He was fine.

Then only 10 days later the dog was in our bed. (He sleeps with us sometimes.) I was asleep and my husband was going to sleep. The dog suddenly attacked my husband's face. My husband was not touching him, had not moved in fact. He had to go to the ER, will likely have 4 or 5 scars, and was lucky that the dog didn't blind him since the bite was less than 1/2 inch below his eye.

Now we do not know what to do with him. We love him, he is one of the family. But we don't know what to do with a dog that attacks unprovoked and we are planning on having children in the very near future and are afraid of what he may do to them.

Does anyone have any ideas? We don't know what to do...we don't want to put him down but are worried that we will have no choice.

I just got a Labadoodle that is 1yr 10months. She seems very strong willed and dose not want to listen. She has had basic training her other owner clams. She knows Sit, Down, Catch, drop.
We recieved her as a gift for my Asperger Child. This has been a blessing. We can't introduce the 2 other small dogs because Sophie is way to excited and hyper. PLEASE HELP Anyone Have any ideas?
We watch all of Ceasers Shows but I am affraid to try any thing. She is great dog just still puppy i think.

Please Help with ideas,
Angela

Christina,
Frankly, I believe that your husband's uncle got what he deserved! (I think I'd have bitten him, too!) People need to realize that a dog is an ANIMAL that will react when frightened or afraid. Might I suggest that you put the dog in a crate or a room where he'll be left alone when you have guests? It then becomes your job to make sure that no one bothers him!

Regarding the attack on your husband on the couch, I think you may be misinterpreting the wagging tail and the licking. Those could very well have been appeasement gestures, letting your husband know that he really wasn't comfortable with him touching him. Dogs sometimes have tactile sensitivities that we need to recognize, understand and respect.

As far as in the bed, I believe your dog was guarding the bed - what he considers HIS bed and didn't want your husband to move him or invade his space. There were probably earlier warning signs that your husband didn't recognize. My suggestion would be to train the dog to get off of the bed when a human enters the room. I use food to use as a reward, until it becomes a habit.

Janet

PS I don't watch the show - just stumbled across this website...

cesar Millan is the worst thing that could happen to dogs ever he tortures them he bassicly promotes animal cruelty and so does national geographic by airing his show its a damn shame that people watch this show and are so misinformed that they actually believe what this guy is doing is good he might help the people with there problems but hes messing up those dogs he i could do a show about children with problems and just kick the crap out of them or choke them untill they listen and believe me they wil listen although they might be damaged for life

thats my opinion

check this

I like your style

yep

go brazil

HI,
I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD START CLICKER TRAINING.
IT WOULD BE USED FOR AGILITY. I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
THE LONG TERM EFFECTS. ANY COMMENTS ON THIS TYPE OF TRAINING?
THANKS, DEB

We have a 2 year old Weimaraner that we walk every day and he still pulls on the prong collar. We try very hard to be calm and assertive with him and he still pulls. We have tried the halti and that didn't work either. We just can't get him to stay behind us, any ideas? He also mouths at us. Any child can come up to him and touch him all over and he does nothing! It is just us! We have tried Cesar's "claw" and as soon as we let go, he mouths us again. He will lay down and roll over on his back but as soon as we move our hands away, he acts like he is going to bite. We want to take back our roles as leaders and are making him sit and wait for everything, just need help with pulling and mouthing. We know he is being disrespectful and have tried so hard to let him know we are not going to tolerate it, but we don't know what else to do! Thanks for any ideas!!

Tackle a Basenji.....and I will believe that he is the "real deal"!!!!

Hey.My dog goes crazy when I get the water hose out to give him a bath. Do you have any advice? Love your show, Hannah
