When I say "Cesar," you say...
"SALAD"?
Probably not.
A lot of dog owners look for quick and easy answers to fix their dog's "problems."
The most visible person in dog training today, as far as I can tell, is Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisper or the National Geographic Channel.
I used to be a devotee, but have since changed my training and behavior modification approach.
I am excerpting from an article written by dog training pioneer Jean Donaldon:
"The force-free movement gains momentum every year and a sure sign of this is that many trainers in the other camps resort to murkier and murkier euphemisms to disguise their more violent practices and retain their market share. Stressed dogs aren't "shut down," they're "calm." It's not strangling, it's "leading." As a committed devotee of the "dog-friendly" camp, I am therefore, along with my colleagues here at The San Francisco SPCA, somewhat agog at the stunning success of "The Dog Whisperer". This is pretty ferocious stuff by anybody's standards. The National Geographic Channel even runs a disclaimer banner at the bottom of the screen admonishing people to "not try this at home," a warning notably absent on home improvement shows or "Nanny 911". Many have suggested that the cloaking of corporal punishments and hazing in mystical language, promise of instant results, high octane telegenicity of Cesar Milan and lucky connections with Los Angeles celebrity clients are sufficient explanation for the Dog Whisperer phenomenon. The one with the best buzz words wins. But I don't know."
