Xana44 I have seen him, but do not regularly watch his show. I did recommend some of his techniques when I was seeing dogs for problem behavior. Some of his techniques may be a little over the top for average dogs, but are good for those who need strong leadership. Might overwhelm the average GR.
Thats cool, yeah some of his teachings are for dogs who need strong leadership, its really interesting how he knows so much about dogs though smile and he just understand them, and their actions and everything. Ive tried a technique of his on my aunties puppy, a little Labrador, she gets abit hyper and tears things apart lol, but she knows how i am lol, so she just ignores me, she's so cheeky, but i luv her biggrin

I've watched nearly every episode. Most of his techniques are pretty good, espcially the technique of how to deal with distractions - jerk and release even if your dog LOOKS at something that will cause obsession/barking. I have, however, determined that some of his techniques such as keeping the dog behind your hip very difficult and unnecessary, it honestly depends on the dog...and as a recent graduate with a degree in psychology (woot) I have learned and found a better way for reducing pulling: Silky leash training.BTW, I personally don't enjoy the sound of the clicker, so I make a kissy sound instead. I've only been using the technique for a few weeks and my dogs have CONSIDERABLY gotten better at walking along side me and now look at me when there is a distraction approaching...it works wonders! The Dog whisperer technique is pretty difficult even if used consistently, remember I have danes; also, silky leash is more motivating for the dogs
Silky Leash training video
Ceaser deals with some seriously aggressive dogs and has some very effective techniques, but I can also imagine a lot of people attempting his techniques themselves and causing their dogs to become fearful, which leads to various unwanted behaviors and psychological damage.
Positive Reinforcement is the best way to go in the long run, yet there are still some behaviors that I personally think punishment (such as gag reflex technique for obsessive barking) is ok in moderation when deemed necessary.
Ahimsa is a dog training center in Seattle, WA that emphasizes humane dog training techniques...boy I wish I lived up there!
Here is an article by Ahimsa regarding the Dog Whisperer, it's worth a look smile Dog Whisperer techniques deemed inhumane and outdated!
I learn something new everyday, and nothing is ever a complete science. If you have a dog that is not food motivated, the silky leash method is confusing...life is confusing too. confused

Congrats on your degree in psychology! (big woot!) ;D Yes, Ceaser deals with really aggressive dogs and the more common techniques for training dogs would probably work better on less aggressive dogs smile I love watching The Dog Whisperer!
.. I wonder if there is a Cat Whisperer show?.. I'd love to watch a show about cats.. lol

You know that's just for show. He knew nothing about dogs starting out, and the only reason he actually became famous was because he was on Oprah. I'm not sure if he even knows anything now, he's got the outline I think, but I don't know about the actual knowing part.
Personally, I think his techniques are crap, and this new "Guru" crap is just, well, crazy. Funny, stupid, brainwashing, crazy. Perfect for Caesar.
I'm into positive dog training and pack leadership, but I don't need to spin my dog around on the leash to let them know I'm the leader. Just giving them food lets them know you're the leader.
So far I haven't seen really a dog trainer I've liked. Victoria I DID like until I saw her recent episode about not dog breeding. How about instead of bashing dog breeding you suggest ETHICAL breeding.
Anyways, its no wonder ceasar gets bit all the time, I'd bite him too. And this recent crap he's doing, searching for a wolfdog to train, just goes to show he wants the world to know how macho he is. "Look, I can train the SAVAGE BEAST! Obey me mortals~!"
Its sad people actually follow him like a god.
An admin is probably gonna delete this post, cause seeing as this has been stickied I have a feeling this guild is into negative training.
Wickefisto... LOL. It doesn't matter the person, anyone, anything, any negative experience has a lasting effect. I don't see how Caesar is any different.
Also, the positive dog trainer is really good, I amazingly haven't heard of her.

Thanks for your opinion Its Wolfeh, personally I really like The Dog Whisperer, and thats why I created this thread, My brother loves it too, and my family also, thats why I thought I'd make a subject of it and see what other people think of it. I dont have anything against Caesar, I love his show!
Right, that said, I am also into positive dog training, and I made this guild for animals, to chat about animals ect ect. So I dont think that an admin would have any interest in deleting this post, its simply chatting about a show on TV...
I understand you have your own opinion and everything, but try to keep things to yourself if you dont like a show/or person, thanks for posting though. just thought I'd point that out. (Its just chat) thanks.. 3nodding

Its Wolfeh |°~ The Wolf is not meant for city life ~°| |°~ But in the wilderness ~°| Apparently you don't know much about the dog training world. {No offense.} It's EXTREMELY political so sometimes we can lose our cool =x I really dislike Caesar as you could probably tell in that post XD Thanks for understanding~
At first, when I was really naive to the dog world, and we were just starting out our positive training, I really liked Caesar. But once I started seeing him literally drag a dog by the leash outside to go for a walk, that was too far for me.
He seems to be getting more and more positive, at least every now-and-then. With dominant dogs I remember back then he'd corner them to prove he was macho, and now he's actually be much better by turning his head to tell the dog "I'm no threat". He's still not in my good book though XD I'd like to seem him tone it down just a LITTLE, and I'd be much happier.

Lol, thats true, Ive never owned a dog, and so I dont really know 'much' about the dog training world. Its okay, Your welcome smile
As it was mentioned earlier in the thread, Ceaser trains mainly really aggressive dogs, so not all of his techniques would work on the less aggressive dogs. Some dogs just need strong leadership. wink
and His Techniques seem to work well, so I like him anyway lol! Thanks for posting. smile
