Forum Greatcompanionkennels Sa Great Companion Kennels KOMO-TV interviews me about Cesar Millan

his training is like crap.
“oh u wanna be the pack leader.” whats that all about? plus it’s not all about being domonint over your dog. he also uses the alpha roll. it doesnt even help. it just makes the problem worse because it makes an insecue dog feel even more insecue. in fact it makes the dog fear its owner. when he deals with aggresive dogs why does he let the dog strike then tell it off with a leash jerk or the alpa roll. shouldnt u prevent the dog from striking instead of letting the dog strike? cause thats how u fix the problem. if u want training advice follow victoria stilwell, cause she trains positively. “instead of your dog fearing you, your dog’s respecting you,” she said in the dog days of summer episode.

Each dog is different and different techniques are required. I adopted 2 older dogs from a Dachshund rescue and each had different issues. Cesar’s methods worked for both…. one using his more gentle methods and the other his more dominate methods. My oldest dog had NEVER been socialized, bit anyone who came close, and was uncontrollable. He now interacts well with other dogs and greets visitors gently (after looking at me to see how I’m reacting). All this because of the methods I learned from Mr. Milan. I have NEVER hit or punished him, but rewarded correct behavior and redirected inappropriate behavior. He is a loving and fun dog now. The other weiner was almost completely opposite. He was extremely shy, cowered, and was starved for attention (also literally starved!). He had NO confidence and was miserable. He now greets people happily, holds his own with other dogs in an acceptable manner, and is happy and confident. Both dogs look to me and my husband for leadership and direction. My heartfelt thanks go out to Cesar Milan. Like I said at the beginning; each dog is different and different methods are required. His warnings not to use the methods without professional help are self explainatory. Be educated and use common sense when dealing with your pets. No one method is the “right” one. While I’m sure your methods work for you… his methods work for me.
