Dog Whisperer

[GTIR]

I find this guy amazing (Cesar Millan), some of the stuff he does is mind blowing. First time I watched it I initially dismissed it as a bit of a joke, but he really gets into the psyche of dogs and humans.

Brilliant

I recommend you have a look, it also on youtube (whats not!*)

And I dont even have a dog!

Lots of songs

Been watching for quite some time and I think there are quite a few PH dog owners who do follow his tips.

I tried a few methods of walking on my ex's 12yr old lab and within 30/40ft I had him walking perfectly by my side with a relaxed lead. Something he hadn't done since they got him as a puppy (he always did the old tug walk effort).

Cesar is a bit of a clever bugger.

I think I should try sme of his techniques with my 10 month old Cocker Spaniel!!He's loopy!!But gorgeous of course! He still pulls like a train on his lead and I've tried all sorts of collars, Halti's, half checks and harnesses.

Yep, use his stuff all the time, even on strange dogs. And it works. Most of the time......

It also helps him (although he does try to hide this on the telly-box) to make use of a pinch collar on some of the dogs. I have seen a couple of his programmes when he has one in his and - or you can see it on the dog in some scenes.

They are legal in this country and around the world.

Those who use them do point out that the prongs don't actually dig into the flesh - they just 'pinch' the skin & tissue between the end of the prong and the bit of the next prong.

I can see what that would stop a dog pulling! There is evidence to suggest that these actually do much less damage to a dog's windpipe that a check-chain that is used incorrectly or with excessive force.

He has that trick of pulling the collar right up under the dogs ears, to get better control, and keep it short so you are leading the dog. They can't pull hard when there front feet are hardly touching the floor.

Mind you, some of the owners want a kick in the clunge, as they obviously do NOTHING to control their own dogs, apart from a few half hearted commands, barely above a whisper.

Yes yes - fully agree
