Hi my name is Lori King. My family and I are desperate need of HELP with our American Bulldogs. I saw an episode about an English bulldog on Friday nioght it was a rerun but I heard Cesar say that he would go anywhere and he was in Texas to help this family to better coexist as a pack while still using there lawnmower, golfcart and waterhose. We are not having issues like but our dogs try to kill each other on a regualr basis especially when one bitch is in heat the others aren't and also when the grandchildren are around the females font llike the maile being around them. As Im sure you know Cesar has stated that bulldogs are fighter bred and are aggressive naturally. We have been raising them since the late 90's them just one at a time but now we have a kennel and are raising and selling them. we are very concered about the furture as we build are breeding kennel. These animals are a part of our family and we do the best we can but we want to do what is best for the dogs and us as a family. we are continuously practicing calm assertive techniques as we are not perfect . we would greatly appreciate any help that you could offer. Im certain that you get these emails all the time but I think that Cesar would be excited to have such a challenge. We currently have 1 male, 2bitches and a 3month old pup at my parents house. I have an adult bitch and two 3 month old pups 1male and 1 female which it appears are going to be staying with me untl the runs are comleted at my parents house to keep the adults that dont get along seperated. I dont want these exceptionally loving dogs to be cage dogs because of our inalbility to maitain the pack. So agian I beg of your help in any way that you can. MODERATOR'S NOTE -- PLEASE DO NOT POST PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIS BLOG. THANK YOU! thanks so much for your help!

Dear Anne,

I work with the local pound here in WI and I help only the bully breeds (pit bulls normally). I also have a pit mix and a lab living with me now. I am not a dog trainer in anyways but I do what I can for each dog and I feel that I help, right now I have two balanced dog and the dog that I am working has become a different dog since he came to the pound months ago. I also watch Cesar like he is my religon, everyday (enough to drive my husband crazy). I think that you are starting off this alpha dog thing the wrong way.

Try these things (they may or may not help):
1) when you leave your home, make sure you leave first then your dog.
2) make sure that your dog is by your side while on the walk
A)She can not pull you. Look at the dogs Cesar walks. They are by his side not pulling
If any of the dogs I work with pull me in anyways I could break something or they can attack another animal. I don't tell my dogs "Ok Fifi, I'm going to be your pack leader on this walk so......." I take a deep breath,relax and just remember what I saw cesar do on show. I hope this helps

Dear Ceasar,
I was really pleased to meet you in Springfield, Oh. You are a wonderful speaker and comunicator with people as well as with dogs. I have currently in rescue 11 dogs and 12 of my own personal dogs. My own dogs are very well balanced and can go outside with each other. I have luck with 10 of the 11 rescues in that they are so much better than what they were, but one corgi that I have in rescue has been a challenge to say the least. He didn't like to be brushed, but we made it more enjoyable and now we have success with brushing, toenail trimming, however, is very challenging as well as being able to put him out with any other dog including ones on the other side of the fence. He will bite even if you try to muzzle him, however, he really enjoys his gentle leader being put on. I know that it is because he sees one as good and the other as bad, but his barking and challenging other dogs has me worried that I will have trouble with adoption for him. I also have another female corgi that has been a bit of a challenge and when we first got her she bit me on the face and though I can control most food aggressive situations with her I have a real fear of being bit by her and I'm having a hard time finding just the right home for her. She has been with us now for over 1.5 years. I know we haven't done all that could be done to help these guys out. Thanks for all you do to help balance canines and humans alike.
