I have worked with all breeds all my life and I'm 75 yrs. of age. I feel that Cesar's way is NOT altogether correct for a lot of "problems" that are found in many cases. I understand, also, that most of his TV programs are - done in a Hollywood style where only the finished and/or the glossed over products are shown. I've been quite unhappy about how he's gotten so popular and that he seems to be always shown with a "pack" milling about. Oh well, takes all kinds, I guess. I dearly love the individual attention and training of the "Owners" that the lady does on Animal Planet (she's so neat and with her English accent, I love it more) -- can't think of her name but even the name of the show is neat -- "It's Me or the Dog"-- (It's been neat to see a couple posts by the REAL NORMA lately and she's going to be OK as folks will help with the pics & wins etc. for her really really nice dog. You go (geaux) NORMA -- Norma no L (the other Norma, you know the one who isn't normal) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Cacioppo" <petercacioppo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 15, 2009 4:26 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Cesar's methods Sheila said: "However, when seen live and in person, using some of what Milan does, I have been doing for almost 20 years now, it can be very clear that there is a way to reach dogs, that they understand." I say: I agree with a lot of what Sheila said in her email. I believe Cesar Millan's methods have a lot of validity as I have seen them work when I did professional dog behavioral training a few years back for about 30 clients. Many a dog has been saved from euthanize by similar methods.
