I do not believe in nuturing a bad dog.......but I do think that if you let a
dog fall back on it's natural instincts, stop humanizing it and let it just be
a dog; many bad behaviors will modify themselves. I have no time disposable
attitudes. Not being willing to deal with problems is just pure laziness to me.
Yes there are bad dogs and yes some need to be put down but it's important to
recognize the difference manmade problems and a brain that is not wired
correctly.
I don't think Cesar says he can train any dog...he just says no dog is too
much for him. He tries to give dog owners the skills he has so they can keep
their dog despite it's problems. I know that there are dogs living at his
training center that are never placed.....they may not be too much for
him...but most people could not handle them.

If any of you watch the "Dog Whisperer" then you know he always says
that no dog is too much for him to handle and that he can train ANY
dog. How do you guys feel about that? Do you believe that ANY dog can
be trained?......or that some are just hopeless cases? We've all seen
him on TV work with fear biters and even aggressive dogs. How about
some of the dogs that "Dog Town" takes in and works with and turns them
around to be good citizens? I've told a friend of mine who owns a
mixed breed dog that some breeders will put a dog to sleep that displays
this kind of temperament. Her respond was she didn't believe in that
and that ANY dog can be trained with time, patience and a whole lot of
love. So is she and the "Dog Whisperer" correct? Nature or nurture?
Can the nature of some of the "beasts" be tamed by lots of nurturing?
Best, Barbara
