Cesar Millan - Dog Whisperer, Do Any Of U Watch It? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

TeddyandTiffy · 04-11-2008, 04:27 PM

Since some members here was talking about the new show on Animal Planet, It got me to wondering how many here at YT watches Cesar Millan of The Dog Whisperer Show and uses his ideas on their own Yorkies?

I myself do every single week along with my girls and sometimes hubby, I have his 2 books, 3 DVDs' and his 2008 Calendar in our Yorkie Room and also use his ideas with all our Yorkies...Like when our girls are playing to rough with each other I shh (Spelling there on it lol) them and they dead stop and look at me.

I also am walking them all alone sometimes our 2 boys together, sometimes our 2 youngest girls together (Trying to walk Sage too but haven't been able to due to her heat cycle, once it's done then I'll take her too) like Cesar says too and it works so good with Galahad, I have them all on harnesses but have Galahad on a longer leash and I have to put that leash around his neck high (Like U do when U show, he says this is the way to put it high on their necks) & Galahad straightens right up and walks with me not pulling me, he is so so skiddish of everything, scared to death, I feel if we can master the walk then we can do anything together, it is helping him I feel. Yes I look like a nut taking my heel and tapping his butt/ back leg lightly but it works, he turns his attention toward me.

My goal is to get each one of my 5 Yorkies walking with me not pulling me & then take them all 5 out together for walks around the block. Maybe if I work with them all Summer by Fall we can all walk together as a big Yorkie family

.

So who else here on YT is a Cesar Fan? What do ideas do U use of his on your Yorkies?

I have seen a few shows, it seems interesting.

2Parises · 04-11-2008, 04:43 PM

Yes. I love Cesar; I think if he were a dog, he'd look like a yorkie.

Something about his eyes.

I think the most important thing that I have learned from Cesar is that a dog is not a human, and they have different things that motivate them, and different needs that must be met in order for them to feel secure. Humanizing a dog is not really a compliment. Walking your dog in such a way as to establish yourself, as the alpha dog is another important message I have learned. A secure dog is a happy dog.

I have watched several shows and find some of his methods very helpful in training my boys.

The only thing I don't like is that he doesn't like it when people treat their dogs like babies. Well, mine are very spoiled and get lots of attention, but they are also well behaved and listen to me. I think if you do it right, you can still spoil them rotten, yet have a well-behaved dog.

I think I have yet to find that right balance.

Lol I know what you mean. My first yorkie is very calm, quiet, laid back and playful. My second one is very ornery. But, they both listen to me really well. You just have to let them know you're the pack leader. Once they realize that, it gets easier. Consistency is key, since they learn by repetition.

I have heard everyone talking about that show, but don't know where to find it. We may not have the channel, but I haven't run across it. Could someone tell me what channel it's on? I would love to see it.

I love watching Cesar Millan on Friday Nights. Thanks for asking! It has helped teach me how to walk Piccolo on a leash better and what to do when big dogs come along.
