I thought this was a fantastic episode and it was so poignant regarding what role our dog plays in our family.

Cesar..you and your family have topped yourselves..after two years I am sure that as a member of your family Louis will be missed..but you have all given generously to another..and Louis will continue that giving..

I believe that what goes around comes around..and I sincerely believe you will all recieve many blessing in return..

Thanks Cesar..

I watched this show last night and I was in tears at the conclusion. I don't think that Ernesto was ready to take Louis nor did he deserve him. When he asked if the was an "outside dog" or an "inside dog," it was clear to me he had no personal desire to have a dog in his life. It was his kids who were promoting the idea. To think it would be fair to put Louis in the yard to live a solitary life, tells me Ernesto and his wife didn't understand what the dog's needs are and shouldn't have a dog, at least at this time.

Aww, what a sweet story. I hope Ernesto and his family are doing well and I wish them the best of luck.

I have to say that this is probably the episode that has touched me the most. The other episode that touched me like this was with AJ and Sparky.
Cesar, you do more than rehabilitate dogs and train people, you change people's whole lives. You help humans conquer their fears. What an amazing human being you are and equally amazing and giving is your beautiful family. I felt every minute of this episode as I always do and I thank you for contribution to this world. You make it a better place not just for dogs, but humans too.

I just wanted to say that the situation with Louis is just like a parent and a child, you teach them all you can and sometimes they leave to move on in their life. When Louis went to a new home where he was needed and could share all that you have taught him he is spreading the joy and happiness you shared with him with others. Even though he left your pack it doesnt mean that you stop loving him, you have let him move on. Thank you for all you do Cesar and especially thank you for saving all those wonderful dogs and teaching them to be happy and enjoy their lives.

I am soooo happy for both Ernesto and Louis. I too had (have) fear of dogs, even though I have a dog. This episode did help me with dogs that are restrained. I would like to see or hear information about the loose aggresive dogs I'm doing my best with what I know from Cesar. Many thanks.

I'd like to know what is the best line of defense for having a strange loose dog charge you while walking your own dog with the intent of killing you and / or your dog. Obviously a dangerous thing to demonstrate on a show, but nevertheless, any advice could help those of us that could be potential targets on our daily walks. Would love to see this addressed somewhere in the future as well as more examples of how to read dog's different barks. Thanks Cesar for a great show.

I have two dogs, one elderly(14yrs but very spry), one eight years and neither willing to put up with impolite dogs. My neighborhood has a few dogs that manage to "escape" on a regular basis. I cannot possibly project all the calm assertive energy necessary to control these situations and have found myself and my dogs literally running for our lives. I own my house, bond with many of my neighbors(including the responsible dog owners), and can't afford vet bills from dog fights. How can I become stronger in my calm assertive energy? I picture the wolf but, as soon as a real problem arises I seem to lose my mental state.

I loved this episode! Brought me to tears when you gave them Louis! After reading above comments I would like to know if you have Louis back and why? He seems like a great little dog.
I feel that not only do you help dogs and their families, I feel there is a much deeper thing going on. I watch your show as much as possible and have put into practice as much as possible. I have not only noticed a huge difference in the dogs but also in myself and my partner! The whole calm assertive energy thing and the advice about staying present, it is like we have become different in all areas of our lives now because of the dogs and your advice. We have a wolf, border collie cross (Chris) and a beagle puppy (Dixie), now 6 months old. When we got the puppy she was a very nervous timid dog and with your advice i have noticed the nervousness improving dramatically! You should see how we walk together, it's nice, calm and awesome! People stare at us alot and smile. You are not just helping the dogs, I think you help the people who own the dogs more, if they are totally open to listening to your advice and can find a way to be calm and assertive you change them for the better. So thanks we think you are a gift from god!

Thanks alot and
