trystinnI'm a fan of Cesar Millan, I like his sensitivity and serenity. I'm very aware that a lot of folks disagree with his style but we've done quite well with it, something very important back when we had five dogs staying at the Inn.
Tonight's episode involved an aggressive basset hound named Sophie who kept attacking Reilly. *sigh* Poor gal had been dumped at a shelter because her original owners didn't work with her, now her rescuers were having trouble with her attacking other dogs.
Within a few tv minutes, Sophie was walking in a pack of almost ten dogs. So there's Cesar with two bassets on the left, three dachshunds and two large dogs on the right. The dachshunds kept slipping their collars, without him realizing it, and running off across the park behind him. So he's dragging this tiny collar along while he's teaching us "with calm assertive pack leader energy you can walk the entire pack" sort of thing he's so infamous for.
The family following behind him are bent over with laughter, grabbing the dogs and pointing as another one runs off. He literally couldn't figure out what was going on: "What's with the weaniedogs?", "Did I lose another weaniedog?" and then at last "the best walkers are the weaniedogs!" with pink cheeks, but laughing. They'd put the dog back in the collar, he'd start walking again and yet another one would escape without Cesar noticing the escape. Poor guy.
I am nearly breathless with laughter. What a good sport Cesar is. Not enough folks are.

Date: 2008-08-23 02:23 pm (UTC)Any show about a dog trainer that has to have a "don't try this at home" disclaimer at the beginning is bad juju in my book.
And don't get me started on how he's taken dominance theory waaaay too far.
