Comment on Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan Makes a Big Change by Shamexx
I grew up in a family that treasured dogs as part of the family. There were certain expectations the dogs had to follow just like us kids. The distinction being they were an animal first and not a person. With Cesar stressing this along with exercise disapline and affection it makes sense to me. Also the calm/assertive part. A dog throwing up or dog tearing something material up and remaining calm while one needs to be addressed differently. Some, spank their dogs out of frustration when they vomit. This isn’t a reasoned reaction albeit a human one. So when Cesar takes people back to basics such as the walk, they don’t see the big picture on how is that going to stop the dog from tearing up stuff in my house. This is also why people don’t get some of his other techniques. They either don’t get it or read way to much into it. Its simple and can be used with children. Its not a dog method its a human method, before you correct be calm so the assertion you apply isn’t out of frustration.
