Hey everyone since i work with dogs and i've seen people who've said they work with dogs too.. surely someone on this site knows Ceasar Millan or met him and for those who don't know him i may speak of him here .

He stars in the show "The Dog Whisperer" and helps people with their pet problems and becoming a pack member. He works with all sorts of problems and dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds. His right hand dog Daddy, Redman's old pit bull, was given to him after Redman thought he couldn't care for him. Now Daddy is a pit bull and if you go on the site below you may read about him and his profile and other dog profiles. Ceasar Millan is a very intelligent man who's made his life of pack leader to a sum of around 200 or so dogs. He rescues these dogs from shelters and rescued dogs from Hurricane Katrina. So what he does is re-rehabilitate them and find them a home or becomes a member of his pack. He trains from the insecure to the severe "red-zone" dogs and they come out to be the most loyal dog and your best companion instead of a raging attacking friend and a very feared dog to calm and responsive. You may read about him on his site or watch his episodes of an hour long on National Geographic and you may learn so much about him and his work and may be become a pet psychologists yourself.

Any comments or questions about him and other stuff you may want to know about him don't be shy to ask him on his site or me i you'd like. Have a great day everyone.

some methods I don't really agree with...other than that he's ok

which methods that you don't agree on.?? .. but to me i don't have an opinion on his methods.. it works with all the dogs i work with .. and all goes well.. but that is your opinion he really is a nice guy ..

Oh he is a good guy.He just uses some unecassary force and I reeeeeeeaaallly think he should take all his customers with him and show them what to do with the dog instead of working with the dog directly

well working with the dog directly.. kind of reinforces the dog a little.. and to show the owner how to exactly do it. But hey all dog trainers all do it.. well the ones i've seen and known. but hey your opinion and thats ok

Oh it's not a problem..its just that Ive seen some cases where hes trained the dog and left...not having the people do anyting but he does talk to them about it. ehh *shrugs* he gives me a weird feeling

hehe ye.. but i also just put a topic bout Brad Pattison he's more firm which you know is ok sometimes but a lil TOO firm with the dog ..

In the facility I worked at, we used no choke chains or pinch collars.There wasn't any jerking, hitting or yelling. We used the method of clicker training

ye i use the pincher.. i never tugged on any of my dogs they just know how to behave even the very first time they had it on.. kind of scared me as if they knew .. i use a chocker on my dog personally cause i don't like the rattle sound of her tag only on walks i put it on incase or when i let her roam in the front or backyard ( p.s my dog isn't stupid she doesn't run away lol.. she's a wimp and wouldn't run away even for food she loves me too much had her since 7 weeks the little thing ) and yes clicker training works very well but never used it with my dogs.. just used beefy treats boy do they ever love those

We used treats too.. one of the problems I have with the choke chain is that sometimes it doesn't realese properly (mostly due to people not putting it on right) plus it could cause injury to the throat...the best thing I've ever used on a dog is a gentle leader. its like a head harness and it doesn't harm the dog. But I believe a dog would rather be rewarded for a good behavior done than punishing it for not doing it correctly...

What we did if the dog didn't do what it was suppose to do we would say "cold" and turn away ignoring them for like 5 minutes (we used cold becuase finding the behavior we needed was like a game of hot and cold) The dog usually gets it and no harm is done...

Thats why I really don't like usinig force...the dog dreads training sessions and really... its not necassary. You want the dog to be excited not fearful

well not really.. i have a magazine and such that i can copy write it on here to explain it all.. i have both.. it's not cruel unless you use it in a cruel state .. and Dunkin hehe i think everyone on this site knows bout your wolf pack.. i would like to meet them seem like very nice animals you have there ^_^

...that doesn't make sense when the act of hurting the dog for a unecassry way of correction is done..

Like I sad before. You want the dog looking foward to training sessions, not dreading them. Plus you want them to do the behavior because it wants to ..not because of fear of what you might do if it doesn't.. and fear can turn into a major problem

i don't really quite understand your statement Raikou ??

What I'm saying is the method of choking results in the dog being afraid...they do the bahvior you want them to do because the fear that you are going to use the chain if they don't..

The clicker triaining methdo does not involve that but it's more like a game than a boot camp.

get the picture?
