I just watched a recording of Cesar Millan’s the Dog Whisperer, the most recent show. It was good. The most amazing thing was what he said at the end of the show.
I’m paraphrasing here but it was much like this:
“I am learning and changing how I work with the dogs. I am happy to be changing the way I work with dogs as I learn better ways.”
Hallelujah! Maybe the change really is coming. I’m happy to see it, Cesar! -
A very strong note here. Please do not use the past shows as training aids and help. Cesar seems to be moving to positive training with his new shows and it seems that he wants you to know that. I hope that he pulls his old episodes from TV and from the Internet. He seems to genuinely be headed the better direction. He wouldn’t do that if he still believed that his old ways were better. I hope that he follows through. Today is March 14, 2010 Darc
I’m aware of the criticism Cesar has endured over the years and do see his progress in his training methods. We must remember that we are all humans and hopefully those of us who work with animals are on a never-ending pursuit of self-improvement. I think Cesar has so much to offer people, at the least, he raises the issue of lack of exercise resulting in many behavioral problems. I do admire him for his awareness and desire to improve the partnerships of animals and their owners. Hats off to you Cesar to embracing the journey.

Dear Darcie, What’s wrong with the way Cesar trains? What do you dislike about his older shows?. Unfortunately I have yet to see the newer shows. Megan
Dear Megan, See The Dish for everything that I’ve written about for years. Just do a search for ‘Cesar Millan’. Thanks. Darc
