Dog Whispering

Addicted to the Whisperer

I have to watch this show before I leave for work in the morning. Even if it's a repeat and I've seen it 10 times.

Cesar Millan kicks butt. I love that he says he rehabilitates dogs and trains people. Because it's really the owners that have the problems and the dogs simply react. The thing that is both scary and cool is that he makes such a quick and correct assessment of the owners. He could read them instantly and knows exactly what is needed to correct them. As owners, at least. And he's not rude about it. I don't know he stops from rolling his eyes or slapping them. Seriously. All the problems stem from the owners giving affection at the wrong time and reinforcing negative behaviours (although it's about 50% unintentional).

And you know what's weird? It's the little tiny toy dogs that are the most vicious and bite the most. You have this little thing that's aggressive because it's spoiled to death. Yeah, it's cute but don't get too close if you're fond of having all ten digits. I love when he "tssssttt"'s them or "bites" them with his hand. Then they're all submissive and can't do squat.

Cesar is hilarious when he acts out dog behavior. He makes all the goofy movements (like that Scooby Doo "hhhharmph??" head tilt thing) and panting. He just cracks me up. It's amazing that he has about 30 dogs or so at his Dog Psychology Center. He has complete and total control over these pitbulls, rottweilers and whatnot. Amazing. When I see people walking their dogs (or the dogs are walking the owners), I analyze them. Size up their pack-leader-ness.

I don't know if I would ever want to meet him in person though. He would look at me and instantly say: "Too soft, too passive and will only go out with men if they will treat you horribly. You're a doormat." Ha!

I absolutely love Cesar and his show The Dog Whisperer. I think he is amazing! He has such a great nature himself and is so sweet to the untrained pet owners that he must rehabilitate on each episode. I have alot of respect and admiration for his abilities. I never miss an episode and have seen all the shows more than 3 times each. Actually I see every show each day he is on and if I have seen it previously, I watch it again because I always feel so inspired by Cesar after seeing his show and his amazing work. I hope his show lasts for years to come. I am hooked! Keep up the great work on your show and keep the books coming. You can whisper to my dog anytime Cesar! I think you and your family are wonderful people. I am happy to see that your wife and children are also involved with the dogs you help. Thank you to you and your family!
