Dog Whisperer Week: Closing Tips For You Pack Leaders
December 28, 2007
Greg Chapman - Research
The final day of Dog Whisperer Week is here and everyone here at the channel hopes that you have enjoyed watching some of Cesar's toughest cases. Here are some final tips to help you become a more passionate, assertive and successful pack leader.Enjoy!
| |
Prevent obsessive behavior by establishing rules, limits and boundaries early and consistently. |
| |
Setting rules will help, not hurt your dog. He or she will see you as a strong pack leader. |
| |
Who you are to your dog is the energy you project. A pack leader’s energy is calm & assertive. |
| |
Give dogs affection when they’re doing what you want. |
| |
Everyone in the family must be on the same team when trying to get rid of unwanted behaviors in your dog. |
| |
Controlling dogs of any size requires mental strength. Leadership is always your most powerful tool! |
| |
Being self-aware and conscious of the energy we are projecting can help us become better pack leaders. |
| |
Choose a breed that fits your lifestyle. Couch potato or always on-the-go, the right dog is out there! |

A Thank You Letter to Ceaser.
Hi, We don't know if Ceaser ever reads this stuff, but just in case, we as brand new dog owners want to thank him from the bottom of our hearts! We are adopting a half Lab half Pyrenees from a rescue. Without Ceaser we wouldn't have had a clue...I mean not one clue on how to be pet owners let alone pack leaders. We have learned sooo much! Our dog is improving so much day by day with us using Ceasar's techniques. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ceaser!! Without you we couldn't have kept him because he would have ruled the house. You are truly gifted. God Bless you.

Ceasar.
I enjoy the show, and watch it whever possible. I think you need to create more shows about how to raise, feed, and take care of a dog, from puppy, to adulthood. I have 9 labs, 7 months old, and its a challange to find information on how to raise these dogs. I devote all the time i can to interact with them, but the biggest challange is to raise them healthy, strong, and to break them of bad habits, which is automatic in a pack environment. I'am the pack leader, and they have enormous affection for me, but its hard to work with a pack without the knowledge you have. Problem dogs such as the ones you work miracles on in the show, are not in the average persons life. I think you should devote an episode piriodically to how to raise dogs in a normal persons life.
Thank You
Al

Hello,
I enjoy the Dog Whisperer immensely and find it extremely beneficial and hopeful for those of us that absolutely love our dogs. I completely agree that there are no bad dogs; just bad owners. Will Cesar ever come to Canada? I would love to have him in my home with my beautiful Aussie Abbiegayle and my big boy, Shih Tzu Louis. They are very sweet and effectionate however bark whenever someone arrives at our door. It can be embarrassing and very noisy. My husband at times encourages this behaviour and I could use the help of Cesar to teach Johnny and the dogs not to bark upon a visitor's arrival.
I look forward to future episodes of the Dog Whisperer and my continued education of being a good pet owner.
Sincerley,

love your show,thanks for all the good tips. after your show, Dog Town is often on. i am very surprised at the lack of understanding shown by the "handlers". they are regularly grabbing, shoving, yanking, and squeaking at extremely stressed dogs, doing nothing to help them calm down. their idea of "socializing" is to put a new dog into a room with a dominant dog and get out of the way to let the dogs "do their thing". when the dominant dog gets aggressive, it is sprayed in the face with cintronella. i keep hoping someone at Nat Geo will come up with the idea of having you work with their handlers. right now, it's very frustrating to watch, so i usually just turn it off.

Hi Cesar, I thank you so very much for all your blessings. You are without a doubt gods gift. I have a wonderful female Rotty...(from the pound) she is a cupcake. In Feb we will have had her a year. My mother has Alzheimers and is in a home. I take Koko there and she is so loving and gentle.
There was a Shitzu that lived behind us ( me and dad, I take care of him), they did not take care of him at all, he ran wild. After the last really bad storm he came over just wrining wet, dripping wet. I gave my dad $500 for bail $ and I went over there. The people are from a place where they eat dogs !!! I told them either they surrunder him to me or face jail time. Buster, is 6 yrs old and had never had a hair cut, you can only imagine what he looked like. I have groomed him, gotten him fixed, micro-chipped , teeth cleaned , you name it.
He is a wonderful add on to my pack. Him and my Rotty Koko are best friends. They both know I am the "Pack Leader"
Your show is addiction for me.
Thank you for all you do. Much Love, Kim Kane

I too have been impressed with the Dog Whisperer series.
Does Cesar have a website?
My son has a german shorthair pointer who is very willful. He has used Cesar's tips/training techniques and has helped his dog tremendously.
Hope to see him again on TV.

Dog Town is a really good show. There have only been a few episodes, but I do not see any more on future programming. It's nice to see a show where they are trying to help the dogs as opposed to hitting, whacking, kneeing, alpha rolling, etc. What is the future of this program?

I would also like to know why there are no more episodes of Dog Town.
