I agree with Dorothea and Alexander. I’ve noticed that everyone I’ve spoken to who thinks Cesar Milan is so great with dogs, has limited dog background. Ask any dog trainer/behaviorist (and dog trainers ARE dog behaviorists even if they don’t have a degree) who’ve had real time experience and they’ll say his methods are confrontational and even dangerous.

As for no cruelty, alpha roll overs with him laying on the cloth muzzled dog to subdue them, IS VERY CRUEL (see the Jindo episode). Hitting dogs with stiffened fingers, IS cruel (see many of his episodes). Poking at dogs with long handled objects until they retaliate so you can put them in their place, IS cruel (see the Bella episode).

Often, when the dog he is working with shows stress and wags their tails low in appeasement, he claims they are happy and calm. Those who are experienced in dog body language know better.

I have to say that I find Cesar Millans methods work very well ( without any cruelty whatsoever ) and they have also made me a much calmer person !! . Also I would say that Cesar Milan is more of a dog behaviourist than a dog trainer .

As a REAL dog-trainer said recently—-” If you wish to discover how Cesar Milan got to where he is then read his books, but if you wish to train your dog then find a dog trainer!”

God preserve us and our dogs!

Cesar Milan has one of the worst methods I have ever seen—they border on animal cruelty.

His greaatest talent seems to be in promoting himself!

His live web video session was awesome and very helpful. Even Ilusion was in the chatroom and then jumped in Cesar’s lap to say hi to us and prove to us it was actually live and it was actually her chatting with us. I enjoyed listening to both Cesar and Martin Dealey together – they work well together.
