DOG: Nacho
BREED: Chihuahua
AGE: 4 ½-years-old

ABOUT THE DOG: Nacho can be very people-aggressive, especially if someone tries to take a toy or object away from him. He's also very protective of his owner, Gloria, and will try and bite anyone who comes near her. He's earned the nickname "Velcro" because he's always by Gloria's side. Meet Nacho in an all-new Dog Whisperer this Friday at 8P et/pt!

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Daniel and Gloria Don have been married for 35 years, and have owned several dogs, though Nacho is the only one to give them problems.

BEHIND THE SCENES: During a filming break, Cesar and the crew had lunch at D.Z. Aikn's in San Diego. A staff member had Cesar sign a photo to hang up on the wall.

Misbehaving Wolves

Dog: Hyde
Breed: Wolf Hybrid

Dog: Vada
Breed: Wolf Hybrid
Age: 3 ½-years-old

ABOUT THE DOGS: Hyde is an Arctic Wolf-hybrid, and Vada is a Mexican Grey-Timber Wolf, and a descendant of the movie star dog that played "White Fang." The owners were hoping for more domestic traits in their dogs, but found that Hyde and Vada were not without some wild problems.

Hyde often displays food aggression, growling when anyone approaches during feeding time. Vada, on the other hand, is prone to dog aggression on walks, a trait she also shares with Hyde. But Hyde's aggression seems more pronounced, especially when he gets on his hind legs, bares his teeth, and lunges for other dogs.

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Animal enthusiasts Holly and Robert are engaged. In addition to the two dogs, they own two ducks, three tortoises, two turtles, a large snake, a rhinoceros iguana, a green iguana, a bearded dragon, and a beta fish. Holly is currently getting her Masters degree in English literature.

BEHIND THE SCENES: For the follow-up shoot at the Dog Psychology Center, Holly and Robert brought lunch for the crew from their pizza shop, Pacino's Pizza.
