Cesar Millan: The Dog ‘Whisperer’?
Cesar Millan is undoubtedly a very charismatic man who presents a very confident and knowledgeable persona on screen which of course draws in a large audience to watch him sort out dogs with behavioural problems. I don’t doubt that his methods have helped some dogs who may otherwise have been euthanized BUT his methods are not for everyone or every dog. At Kanine Kapers we promote and use reward based methods requiring no force, no check chains. Just because something is on the television does not mean that it is the humane way to train.
Please check out this excellent article at www.k9obedience.co.uk - fair and well written.
For sheer entertainment watch Dog Borstal, Series 4 coming soon. Personally I love watching Mic Martin he really knows how to get the best out of a dog but I think I ‘d be too scared to train under him!
