The Dog Whisperer is coming to Austin
Cesar Milan, the man credited with revolutionizing dog training is coming to Austin. The upcoming event will benefit Lucky Mutts, a local dog rescue group.
Tickets are selling out quickly, but sponsors are slow to step up and that has event organizers concerned.
Through Lucky Mutts, a local non profit rescue group, Karen Cole and other volunteers help save dogs from the Town Lake Animal Center.
"They euthanize about 50 dogs a day just because there's no room for these dogs. The number would be much higher without these rescue groups because they would have to euthanize so many other dogs," said Cole.
Lucky Mutts not only finds foster homes for dogs, it trains the dogs as well as the new owners.
Speaking of people training - the advice of dog guru, Cesar Milan, is changing the way millions of pet owners handle their canines. Now the man known as the Dog Whisperer is coming to Austin for an event benefiting Lucky Mutts.
"He [Milan] is just as calm as he is on TV," said Cole.
Calm on television and willing to conduct seminars if the proceeds go to non profit dog rescue organizations.
Tickets ranging in price from $35 to $85 dollars are already sold out, but organizers are having a tough time rounding up sponsors to help defray the costs of the December 9 event at the Austin Convention Center.
"So the more sponsorship we can get the more money that will stay with Lucky Mutts and then we'll be able to help more dogs," added Cole.
Organizers are counting on money from Milan's seminar to help cover the costs of dog surgeries, pet and owner training, public education and foster care costs.
Another 500 tickets to the December 9 event will be available next week, now that the Austin Convention Center has added more seating. However, more than a 1,000 people are already on the waiting list for tickets.

Hi Martin,

I need help with bently or i am just going to have to result in giving her away.. i have thought about kennel training her but i domt think it will help because of her previous problems with eating it. (i know its gross but i just dont know waht to do) PLEASE HELP ME. my email is angela_marie10@yahoo.com
Thank You,
