I sometimes come across people who seem to overlook the simplest solutions to overcoming their dog’s issues. Now when you're watching the show, it’s easy to judge someone else, but when I arrive at a client’s home, I never judge them or make them feel wrong. I simply believe these people are lacking information.
Most people aren’t used to seeing the subtle behaviors that can easily escalate into major behavioral problems. But everything in the animal world counts: the way they move, the way they breathe, the energy they project and their body language.

My dog has suddenly taken a U-turn in family life. All of a sudden hes trying to run away(which he has) and hes always spending his time under the deck. He wont come out,no matter what. We tried having him come out with turkey,but nothing seems to work. He seems depressed. My daughter took him on a 1 hour walk,and he just come home and ran under the deck. Our family is extremely confused and sad,and we don't want to lose our dog. What can we do?
What a great show. It is so wonderful how Cesar doesn't judge the dog's owners. As a parent of autistic twins, I am judged everyday. I have two chihuhua dogs under a year old, and wish that I could have Cesar help me with them. The younger of the two is a male and he recently began to bite. He started out by grabbing the back of pantlegs, but now has gone right into biting hands, especially kids. I have tried using some of the tecniques from the shows, but it still seems to be getting worse. I love to have dogs because animals are so great for autistic children, but do not know what todo at this point. I don 't want to get rid of him or have him put down, but don't want to risk him really hurting someone. It is very hard for our autistic children to understand the differences between good and bad play with the dogs, and I am sure this is not helping the situation. I would love to have any advice as to what I can do. Cheboygan, MI 49721
Cesar, I want to thank you for your compassion in helping the humans and animals on your show.
Ive learned a lot from your techniques. It took a while to stop treating my dog like a human,
and treat her as the beautiful canine she is. God bless you and your efforts!
Melissa, have you had your dog evaluated medically? Maybe he has an injury that is not clearly seen. That could be why he's hiding under the deck and won't come out.
I watch your shows in hope there is a situation similar to mine. Our female shepperd collie cross has incredibly low self esteem, in fact she is terrified of most people especially men (she has never been abused or hit ever) She urinates on the spot when someone new comes to the house and is incredibly nervous most of the time they are there, it can take her up to 2 - 3 hours to relax. Even when she sees myself or my husband when we come home we have to make sure we see her outside because 60% of the time she will lose control. If my husband changes his clothes during the day and is at the bottom of the stairs, Casha will start barking and panicking until my husband talks to her to calm her down. She has never bitten anyone and never will.
There are only a couple of people (friends) she will accept in the house and she adores these people. She loves kids and has no problem with them. What is really strange, when we take her to other peoples homes, she will eventually calm down( within the hour) and even sit by people and let them pet her.
Any ideas show of putting her on prozac how I can desl with this nervous wreck - someone please help...
Mita Floria,
im sorry that no one told you this but small dogs are never good to have around children. first they (most) are in secure, which is why they are prone to barking and aggressive behavior so secondly, children dont know how to handle dogs. (most) large dogs are much more patient than small dogs.
try walking them, having the Chi's socialize with larger dogs and having them relax and tired from more exersize. have your children do some training with them (or just give them treats for sitting and being calm)
good luck!
Leslie,
do you walk her often? agility? she seems full of anxiety which can come from too much energy and not knowing how to get rid of it and relax, border collies have extreme energy and are incredibly smart. training can promote confidence, by her being proud of herself, because you are proud of her. this will boost her self-esteem
