Title: The Dog Whisperer
Post by: P.C. on Jul 16 07 08:13
Has anybody watched this?  This guy is absolutely amazing.  I watched it the first time, just because it was just....on......and I was too lazy to change it, because I wasn't watching anyways.  I got lured into looking because he's so incredible.

I saw a couple of films from National Geographic tonight on the computer called the dog whisperer.  Is it the same guy....Hispanic, not too tall?

Yes....His name is Cesar Millan. What did you think of him?

There's a DOG WHISPERER? Wow. I had no idea there's such a thing as a dog whisperer. Is there a link to this story?

  I had no idea one was capable of whispering to one's mutt. Probably why my dog's not listening to me.... I'm the one doing all the yelling and he's the one doing all the ignoring.

I thought he was very good.  He seems to have the knowledge of dogs, and more importantly dog owners.

Hmmm. Interesting. Thank you for the link! I'll certainly watch more in my spare time. Cesar Milan sounds like a wonderful person.

Have you guys seen this series from Slice network called At the End of My Leash. I personally don't like the guy. He's always barking (excuse the pun) at the dogs. It's really nasty. I mean, c'mon... the dogs behave badly for a reason but it's like constantly screaming at your kid to behave.

No, I haven't, and I'm glad of it.  I've seen people like that and I want to grab them and shake some sense into them.  There is no reason to treat a dog like that.  They are eager to please, and they just have to be taught what behaviour pleases you.

He DOES Kitten.  He seems to have a deeper understanding of the doggy psyche.  He knows they behave like....well...DOGS.  And if they're misbehaving, it is almost always something the owner has instilled in them.  But the amazing part is how quickly he zeros in on the problem and how quickly and quietly he undoes it.

  (plus I like the doggy hip-hop tune in the beginning.....rofl)

I didn't hear that.  Was it only on the TV version, or wasn't I paying attention to the background in the National Geographic films?

I guess it would be the TV version.....but it is on the HD National Geographic Channel.

Oh, rats!  I only get basic cable so I can't watch it.
