I have 2 female doxies. 3 & 4 yrs. old. Just got the 3 yr. old a few weeks ago. She doesn't bark much, but has this high pitch whine when excited which drives the 4 yr. old crazy. The 4 yr. old started growling and barking at her yesterday and then they got into a fight. It was the 3 yr old ..usually calm, quiet, sweet..that was on top of the other.How can I get them to get along? Also, what's the best way to walk a doxie? They are so interested in all the smells that are so close to their nose. I read that Cesar's collar wouldn't be best for a breed with that kind of neck. Thanks for any ideas and insights.

I had a very sweet white poodle for 17 years. She was 18 years old when I had to have her "put down". It broke my heart. She was so gentle and loving to everyone. I really didn't tthink that I would ever want another dog.But a year after "Sandy" had been gone, a friend of mine talked me into getting another dog. She is a toy poodle..Nothing at all like my Sandy was. "Tootie" wasn't even a year old when I got her. A co-worker of mine had rescued her from the pound. "Tootie" is so cute, but she has some bad habits. She can't stand for anyone to ring the doorbell. She barks and just about goes "crazy"! When some one comes to visit she barks and jumps on them. She acts like she would like to bite them. I contacted a professional dog trainer and she spent some time here at my home. Some of the ideas she gave me helped. But "Tootie" still does a lot of the things that
worry me. I am afraid that she might bite somone. Most of the time I just tell people when they come in to ignore Tootie, and that does help sometimes. I paid $600.00 to the trainer. I feel that I wasted my money! Cesar's way has helped me more. I love little Tootie so much. And I want everyone else to like her also. But I can't take her into a store because she doesn't know
how to act like a "lady". She wants to bark at everyone. She just gets to excited. She is very possessive of her "treats", or her food. If someone comes in our house , she will run to get her treats and will gobble down her food. I wonder if she learned to protect her food when she was in the pound. She is healthy and gets regular check ups at the vet. Does anyone out there in "cyber space" have a little dog like mine?? I am hoping that she will get more calm with age. I love her very much. I guess I'm not a vey good "pack leader"..

To whom it may concern.. I live in the central standard time zone. I would really appreciate it if you would list that time also. I do not have cable nor an antenna to receive any reception. I tape (VCR) the Dog Whisperer on Friday nights at a friends house and I look forward to every Friday night in watching the new episodes. I do not know what happened but either I messed up or you messed up the schedule. I know that the Ghost whisperer came on CBS an hour before and I had set that up also. I checked three times to make sure I set it up right to record both the Ghost Whisperer on CBS and the Dog Whisperer on NGC. I got neither. Whose at fault? When will that particular Ghost Whisperer episode with Cesar Millan be on again? Please refer me to the right people so I may inquire. Thanks.
It's Friday night and I am heartbroken in Texas...Lezlee

I need help! I have the sweetest 3 year old yellow lab- she is truly an amazing dog. However, we just replaced our carpet with hardwood and she is scared to death to walk on it. Her nails are trimmed, and she will walk on tile etc. It's just the hardwood floors she is petrified of. Anyone have any advice?

I enjoy watching your show when i get to view the program. I do have tivo now so I can record your programs if I cant see them when they are aired. Also, I was noticing your credits befor your show and saw a familier name came up that has the same name as my daughter whom I haven't seen in almost twelve years. Her name is Melisa Joe Peltier. My name is Andre D. Peltier she and her brothers and sisters' used to call me {Poppop}. Please reply.

Hi Cesar,
Love your show. Sorry that the 3rd season has come to an end. Hope there will be a forth. I have all of your dvd's and recorded your most recent shows. Pls I have a couple of the Illusion Collars which works wonders. I have a 10 year old female Jack Russell/Beagle. What a terror. When I adopted her when she was 8 months old, I didn't know what I was getting into. I had a beautiful Cocker Spaniel, who had passed on 2 months before I got this one. She was fear aggressive, barked at every little sound, at people, you name it she had it. She even clipped me a few times. But when I got hold of your show, it's doing wonders. She does not rule me, and I'm not afraid of her anymore. I want to thank you for teaching me how to train her. Good luck with your new Organization and your new Dog Psychology Facility. Hope you come with a fourth season. God Bless you. Lauren and Coco.

first thing iv love your show been a fan since the start .
i have 2 german shepherds a 8yr old female (that lived her life with her mother and the family till last year when her mother tessa died of cancer at almost 11 yrs old ) we were heart broken
not just us but our dog was to ,we decided to get her a companion because she was depressed ,not eating ,not playing ,just not herself, and realy neither were we. we waited
4 months and we got a male pup from a breeder near my daughters collage weve had him 6 months now and he has healed her heart and ours to . im telling you this because his favorite thing to do is sit on top of my husband in the recliner easy at first but now hes 70 lbs and watch your show we have been watching from the start but never the dogs oddly enough his name is maximus .....we all love your show keep up the good work it gives us all quality time and insite

Hi Cesar I am writing to say that I love your show . I am very scared of dogs but love them. A scar from my childhood.
I watch the spca shows on tv where they help dogs that are abused by owners. They seem to help them get healthie then when they show some bad habits such as maybe a little mean....they put them to sleep. I was wondering if there would be away to help the dogs to behave and then they could live.
Just a question

I have my own little pack of 4 in Newton, MA and am afraid that I am not making the best pack leader. I have two pugs and two Japanese Chins. One of the pugs is terrible on the least, she flies out at cars as the pass by in our suburban neighborhood and as we don't have a fenced in back yard, we must walk her several times a day. We have tried everything to get her to stop and my fear is that one day her leash or harness will break and she will fly into the street and be hit. This pug is 5 and we have had her since she was a puppy.

Five months ago we adopted a 7 year old male pug from a rescue and he is fine on the leash but misbehaves terribly in the car - he pants and screams and crashes around, never relaxing even on a long car trip. If I begin to even slow down, his anxiety builds and forget about going through a drive thru or getting gas pumped - he will make such a racket that it sounds like someone is being tortures.

Just recently we adopted a one year old Japanese Chin from a resuce and he will not walk on the least at all. He sits down and stiffens his legs and will only be pulled. Not good when you must walk your dogs to potty and excercise.

Last, I have a 7 month old Chin who I got from a breeder and seems to have not problems! One out of four - I think I have my work cut out !

I have 4 dogs. 2 labrador retriever age 5 (1 male 1 female), 1 female golden retriever age 6 and one female English Bulldog age 3. My house was a loving zoo until my bulldog turned 2 years old. Since then my house has turned into a war zone.My bulldog started having severe aggression towards the other females.Blood, ripped torn skin, teeth gnarling, became the norm until we could no longer put ourselves in danger in hopes of separating them. The fighting became so severe that we were left no choice but to separate the dogs or give one set away. We opted to live in a house of shifts. Feeding shifts, sleeping shifts, playing shifts, walking shifts. It has become a house divided. Counseling, medication and training did nothing except empty our bank account. Separately the dogs are loving, playful funny and delicious. Can life EVER go back to everyone living harmoniously together under one roof. Our stress levels now run so high we just want our normal happy life back if possible.....HELP!

Between my boyfriend and I we have 5 dogs: 2 Labs (one a puppy), a Shih Tzu, a Heeler-Sheltie mix, and a Chihuhua-Min Pin Mix (Puppy, too). By reading Cesars books and watching the show we've learned so much about being calm assertive pack leaders. I've even brought the skills to my work as a Childcare Director.
Yesterday we took the entire pack (except for the Shih Tzu, Georgie) on a long walk (our first with new Chihuhua mix). We all walked briskly, making sure the dogs all stayed in their place. The little one stayed with us and did not pull. We walked by a few dogs who are known for their barking and bullying and they came up to us, but our pack kept moving and we made the 3 mile walk as a group. We were pleased with our pack and finished it with a game of bubbles and ball.
Thank you Cesar. Because of the skills we're learning our 5 dog pack feels like a family because everyone knows their place (including the humans)

Sincerely

George, Kaycee
Georgie, Charley, Holly, AJ and Kitty

thank you cesar for your show. jackie my jack russell will not come when called. why not? we go to dog park 3 or 4 times a week
and she has taken a dislike to other dogs trying to get to know her, growling and baring her teeth. this behavior just started.
other small things, will get into at another time if possible,
thanks again for your show love jackie and shug.

I love my border collie,dog very much. He has a lot of problems like pulling on leach,chaseing birds, getting out of gate by going under,chase cars,mean with food, very territorial about area,bites people and I can't let him go from a leach, because I am afraid that he is going to run away. Please help us!!! I like to see your shows they are very interesting. My dogs' name is Snoopy. He is going to be 2 on July15,2007

Oh how I wish you could come to Australia and teach my mother your wonders! I have a 13 year old pure miniature Bichon Frise who is submissive and my sister has an aggresive BF Cross. I've often thought the traditional dog training method is a little patronising to their intellegence, so when stumbled across your show towards the beginning of this year, I was amazed with what I've instinctively been doing as correct. Although I do think you are a little rough at times, tbat's a human thing. Dogs visciously bite each other without a second thought after all. Keep up the good work educating current owners. If only you could see what some do here!

Dear Cesar,
My name is Alex. I am a 12 year old boy that deaperately needs your help! I have a 6 year old Dachund named riley with a major temperment problem. My mom and dad are at their last string with him. they are going to put him to sleep within 5 months.
I under stand if i can't be on your show because of my location. But i am hoping and praying that you can reccomend someone that is good and and close to my location if i can't be on your show. my heart and my dogs life are depending on you. I beg you to do what you can. my dog's life depends on it. THANK YOU

I would like to know where I need to go to ask a question about my problem with my dog.
I am not affraid to scold my pet when she is acting badly.
I am the only female in the house and I have a 6 month puppy that has been fixed. After she had her opperation so she would not get pregnant she had a sharp piece of glass from the front door. I took her to the emergancy dog hospital to have the cut looked at and she needed a stich and big plastic collar.
The very next day she started showing her teeth when I fed her food in a bowl, and did not start growling until I gave her more than 3 times a food offer.
NOW she growls when ever I try to feed her anything except our daily morning yogurt.
She does not do this to my husband or his son, only me.
The dog plays like the son is her sibiling and my husband is her master. She comes to my husband when not on a leash, but will not do this for me or our son.
The worst problem is the teeth and growling at me when I feed her.

When she is tired it happens the most.
PLEASE help me I need her as a Service Animal and I can't do that with her doing this.
Waiting for your reply with help on this matter,
Suzzanne Barwick

I have a 5 month year old cocker named maggie and she's always hyper pees everywhere when geusts are over, when there not ,and in front of us and it's unbelivable i'v tried alot and when we put her in her kennel at night because she might pee everywhere but then she cries all night.i feel so bad cause i wanna be able to trust her.

I share my life with Maxx, a 2yr. old blk. lab X dane. He is a shelter dog fr. up north in B.C. Canada. I have intuitivly followed my own instincts and those of many books. Maxx, "was" emotionaly damaged and violent...Cesar's words: "off" "unbalanced". Cesars book is the first book that I am proud to say...invites "all" dogs to a happier, healthier life! Cesar's approach to exercise is a possitive in Maxx's life. Maxx also goes to day care with reg. 4 hr. hikes, 1-2 x's a week with another pack of 10 -15 dogs "off leash". This has helped him to just be a dog, my dog! However, I am still working on my energy that I give Maxx...In Maxx's world, good things take time!
A lover of shelter dogs.

I have a Chihuhua that is 9 months only. He has two behavior problems. One, he barks all the time, every little noice he hears, he barks at it. He caused our neighbor lady to move out because of the barking at night. The other is he chews on everything. Whatever he can find he chews on it. Can you please give a little free advice on what I can do to stop him from barking all the time and chewing up everything.
Thank You,
