Since our episode on Kane, the food-aggressive Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, has aired, we've received many letters from viewers concerned that Kane may have been too young to pull a cart, especially one with me on it.

We'd like to reassure everyone that Kane's vet had pronounced him in perfect physical condition before we arrived for the filming. On the day we filmed, Kane was just over one year old and weighed approximately 114 pounds.

According to the rules set by the International Weight Pull Association, a non-profit association that promotes the sport of dog pulling through safe, well organized, sanctioned events, Kane was indeed old enough to compete and would be eligible to pull up to 800 pounds, based on his weight. I may have put on a couple pounds in the past year, but thankfully, I'm not even close to 800.

Of course, we thank everyone for their concern - like you, we at the Dog Whisperer are concerned about dogs' health and well-being above all else.

It's a new year and new day and time for Cesar and his pack! Tune in for an all-new episode of Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel this Friday, January 5, 8P et/pt.

The pack is back! Get ready for an all-new season of Dog Whisperer premiering Monday, October 23, at 9P et/pt.

Cesar once again has his hands full with a whole new crew of problem pooches and their frustrated owners. From a possessive pink pup to a dog trying to beat the blues, Cesar's calm and assertive leadership continues to produce amazing results.

And we've got more in store for you online, with a brand new website including weekly blogs previewing each new episode, exclusive video clips, Podcasts, photos, and much more! You can even sign up for "Cesar On-the-Go" with Dog Whisperer Mobile Tips, sent directly to your cell phone!

On behalf of Cesar Millan and National Geographic Channel, we would like to thank you for your continued participation and interest in our Dog Whisperer blog!

We enjoyed our most successful season yet and look forward to the next one. We will be back this fall with all new episodes, blogs, and video previews! Until then, remember to be your dog's calm and assertive pack leader !

Editor's Note: A transcript of the live chat will be available next week!
