I have a huge crush on Cesar Millan. Now, when I first saw him, I noticed he wasn't cute...AT ALL....but I started TIVO'ing his show and something so sexy about his CALM, SUBMISSIVE state, that I just want to jump his bones.
But anyway, anyone think his advice is sound??
And to those who watch the show..I found out Daddy died back in February... :(

Nope, can't stand him. He's dangerous. He's much to aggressive, causing too much stress on the dog, forcing them to shut down. He doesn't 'change' behavior, he suppresses it. There are other methods that are much better, based on rewards not punishment. A solid trustworthy foundation takes time.
Try "It's Me or the Dog" instead.

I like that show too. Ceasar works miracles though on the most aggressive type behavior. His methods do work. He doesn't harm the dogs, he just teaches them to be submissive to humans.

No, he suppresses them. Big difference. He 'floods' the dog with whatever it fears most, until the dog shuts down-like a baby with too much stimuli (he calls it 'calm submission.') Punishment training isn't productive with anxious or aggressive dogs.
Turn the sound off and watch the way he handles the dog, and especially watch the dog's reactions.
I've spent a lifetime rehabbing problem dogs and horses, undoing this kind of training. Sadly,sometimes it can't be undone.

Um... "Jump his bones?"
