NAME: Molly
BREED: Nova Scotia Duck Trolling Retriever
AGE: 2 1/2 years old

ABOUT THE DOG: Nova Scotia Duck Trolling Retrievers were developed to lure and retrieve waterfowl, but oddly, this water dog has a fear of water. When she was just a puppy, Molly fell into a very cold pool. Years later, her owner still cannot coax Molly into the water. Instead, he has to physically bring her in with him, but not without a fight; sometimes she is so resistant, she will flat out refuse to enter the backyard.

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Paul Cameron has been performing in Cirque du Soliel's "Mystere" for 10 years. He began competing in trampoline when he was just 13 years old.

BEHIND THE SCENES: While Cesar and Molly worked in the pool, the cameras were having a harder time staying cool. In the 100+ degree Las Vegas heat, the cameras had to be shut down to avoid overheating.

NAME: Kuma
BREED: American Eskimo
AGE: 2 Years Old

ABOUT THE DOG: Kuma has issues with strangers entering the house. When a visitor arrives, she'll constantly bark and circle the guest. If cornered, she bares her teeth and growls. Kuma's even bitten a visitor's hand during a family visit. And with frequent visitors, Kuma relentlessly jumps on them in greeting.

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Jason Zulauf is a principle performer in Cirque du Soleil's "Ka." He began his career in 1995, performing in "Alegria" with Adir Ionov. Jason began tumbling at the age of 6 and has competed internationally.

BEHIND THE SCENES: As a token of thanks, the Dog Whisperer crew was able to see Jason and his girlfriend Cheri perform in "Ka" at the MGM Grand.

Can Cesar curb Kuma's perceived "stranger danger?" Find out this Friday at 8P et/pt!

NAME: Fluffy
BREED: Maltese
AGE: 3 years old

ABOUT THE DOG: Fluffy, Adir Ionov's first dog, has never liked wearing his leash. As soon as it's on, Fluffy freezes. When it's time to walk, he lies down on his side. Upright him and he'll stand there like a statue. But when the leash comes off, Fluffy runs and romps like a normal dog. And because he refuses walks, Fluffy often uses the house as his personal toilet. He even bares his teeth and barks when someone tries to pet him.

ABOUT THE OWNERS: Since 2002, Adir Ionov is a performer for the Las Vegas-based Cirque du Soleil show, "O." He began his career as a professional gymnast for the Russian national team, competing internationally until someone urged him to join the circus. Adir joined Cirque du Soleil in 1997 and also performed in their touring show, "Alegria."

BEHIND THE SCENES: During the taping, the Union of European Football Associations European Championship was taking place. Coincidentally, Russia was playing Spain and the crew scheduled their lunch break so that Adir could catch some of the game.
