What a crock. Cesar rocks.

I have tried, and was very successful, with a few of his techniques.

Hey....if it works, great. If it doesn't ...move on.

"The cause of most behavioral problems is miscommunication and not dominance issues," says Patricia McConnell, Ph.D., associate professor of zoology at the University of Wisconsin and author of For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in You and Your Best Friend. Either dogs don't know what their owners want, she says, or we inadvertently have taught them to do the wrong thing. "Most behavioral problems can be solved by owners learning how to teach a dog what it is they want, by using the science of how animals learn."

All Cesar is doing is teaching owners how to communicate so dogs can understand them. Instead of making the dog learn word after word of English, he's showing owners how dogs communicate. Watch a documentary on wolves or coyotes. And I hardly think jerking a dogs collar is cruel. People do worse things to their own children. Gimme a break. I like Cesar.

"I may teach some of the methods Cesar uses," says Ramirez, who also trains bomb-sniffing dogs and their handlers, "but only as a last resort."

Uh, that's typically when his assistance is requested. So what's all the whinin' about? People are so quick to judge when they're not the center of the universe. They're just jealous.

Cesar is on the National Geographic Channel...you can even go to the Natl Geographic Website, there's a link for Cesar too, w/ all kinds of dog training/advice/info.
Cesar is very easy on the eyes.

My DH thinks Cesar is a fraud but is quick to admit our dogs have been behaving much better since I've been using Cesar's way with them. Beats me. People either love Cesar or hate him.
