The great dane on the shiny floor right? Recently, he had a show on a dog who was afraid of storms and noises.. He spent weeks building trust and then introduces small noises, and rewarded the dog every time. Going in the pool became the reward, because the dog loved it.. he would ask the dog to control himself while the noise was happening and then say ok! Lets go in the pool! And they would run together and both of them jump in the pool together... clothes and all. He eventually build a trailer to simulate a storm. Rain, thunder, lightning and everything.. and put a treadmill in the middle of it.. then he trained the dog to the treadmill with no noises at all.. and slowly introduced each element.. a little at a time. and then RUN to the pool! After months of work, the dog was able to walk on the treadmill during a full on "storm" in the trailer.. and be ok with it... I was impressed... Shel and I sat there saying "wow.. so his techniques are changing" I hated the flooding episode. The great dane on the shiny floor right?

I have not watched the latest Cesar Millan shows. I will have to. If he is willing to learn and change, that is admirable for sure. I would love to see his methods grow and develop. He did flood the dogs in the episodes that I watched and I did not agree with that at all, Pushing a dog over threshold can be dangerous for both people and dogs. Having a love for the dogs is great. I did not see that in the episodes I watched, but I believe you that he has it. The 'touch' he has with the dogs that I saw was not one I would want myself, but hopefully with time and education he will be open to different types of training as well. hey Jen, excellent post thanks to linking back to me too.

If nothing else, he's gotten people thinking. He was very engaging to listen to. I agree… he’s seems to raise either complete devotion or complete disgust.

I think he does alot in showing that no matter how bad a problem seems, there is always hope. While some of his methods may seem extreme, his heart is in the right place. i think most people need to realize they can not be like ceasar in 20 minutes by just watching his show. I dont have National Geographic Channel so I can't watch his show anymore. Its been years since I have seen it. But I do know he can sure get people's hackles raised.
