Each dog is different and different techniques are required. I adopted 2 older dogs from a Dachshund rescue and each had different issues. Cesar’s methods worked for both…. one using his more gentle methods and the other his more dominate methods. My oldest dog had NEVER been socialized, bit anyone who came close, and was uncontrollable. He now interacts well with other dogs and greets visitors gently (after looking at me to see how I’m reacting). All this because of the methods I learned from Mr. Milan. I have NEVER hit or punished him, but rewarded correct behavior and redirected inappropriate behavior. He is a loving and fun dog now. The other weiner was almost completely opposite. He was extremely shy, cowered, and was starved for attention (also literally starved!). He had NO confidence and was miserable. He now greets people happily, holds his own with other dogs in an acceptable manner, and is happy and confident. Both dogs look to me and my husband for leadership and direction. My heartfelt thanks go out to Cesar Milan. Like I said at the beginning; each dog is different and different methods are required. His warnings not to use the methods without professional help are self explainatory. Be educated and use common sense when dealing with your pets. No one method is the “right” one. While I’m sure your methods work for you… his methods work for me.

As far as the “BIG CHAIN STORE” training goes I wish someone would compile some data/stats on the number of dogs that fair poorlly from the attempts at using a one size fits all approach. I know for a fact that often the training methods that are used DO NOT WORK…

I bet if you do some research and check out a half dozen of the big dog chat sites you will read testimonies to this effect that will keep you busy for years to come.

So much for absolutes and agendas

cheers
