Editorial Reviews
If you think your dog has behavioral problems, you'll feel better after watching 10 minutes of Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan's hard-luck cases. The smashing success of Millan's National Geographic Channel series is due partly to that feeling of relief--that no matter how bad your own dog's behavior, by and large, it's not nearly as bad as Millan's clients'; it's kind of like Nanny 911, but with dogs. Millan is also a telegenic, confident animal handler, whose basic message is reinforced in virtually every case: Don't treat your dog like a human; treat him like a dog, and be the alpha dog of your own household/pack. This canine golden rule applies to all kinds of doggie nut jobs: crazy little Chihuahua NuNu, who bites everyone but his owner; big sweetie-pie Great Dane Kane, whose puppy mishap sliding on a slick floor has made him terrified to walk on tile or linoleum; Brooks, who spins in circles trying to re-create a game involving looking for a laser light; and Maya the pitbull mix, who's sweet-tempered enough to let a kitten "nurse" on her nightly, but who tears apart her household a dozen times a day. One of Millan's most amazing success stories in this 26-episode series involves Churchill, a Rottweiler-shepherd mix who's docile and loving at home, but literally tries to attack all other dogs and even bites a neighbor, thus ending up on the brink of doggie death row. But within 15 minutes, Millan's calm confidence, and gentle but firm application of tugs on a well-angled leash have Churchill passing and sitting near a strange dog placidly. Extras include some outtakes, footage of Millan's beloved wife and kids, and a hilarious "audition" tape, in which owners with their unhinged dogs are telling an off-camera producer why their pet should be considered for the show. All the while, the dogs are pacing, whining, refusing to budge and otherwise providing a lot of unintended amusement. --A.T. Hurley

These are great dvd's ... showing amazing training for dogs in relatively little time. Should be viewed by anyone having trouble with some of their pet's behavior. Also it is actually fun to watch.

Dog Whisperer With Cesar Millan - The Complete First Season
This is a very helpful tool for improving the human canine bond. Every time I watch it, I learn something new. It is great for people who can't get the National Geographic Channel.
Dog Whisperer methods are inhumane (2008-10-28)
Customer Review : 2
Dogs deserve humane treatment, and that is not what Mr. Milan's training gives them. Even aggression does not need to be treated with force and outdated training methods. Granted, the show is quite popular, but that doesn't mean the techniques are humane or should be done at home.
The American Humane Association has written the following about his show:
"The training tactics featured on Cesar Millan's `Dog Whisperer' program are inhumane, outdated and improper."
Another excerpt about the "Dog Whisperer" TV show: "It also does a disservice to all the show's viewers by espousing an inaccurate message about what constitutes effective training and appropriate treatment of animals."
Worth It! (2008-05-19)
Customer Review : 4
If you are on the fence about getting a dog or know that you are getting a dog, Cesar is your guy. If you have a dog and and think that you have bitten off more than you can chew in having a dog, Cesar is your guy. He explains why dogs are the way they are and how to lead them.
Wonderful way to see the episodes again for specific problems (2008-05-19)
Customer Review : 5
Love to be able to review past episodes as each time one sees it one can see more things once you see the energy change in Cesar to match the dogs energy
Great reference DVD matched with his book "Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan" an index guide relating a behaviour problem with a specific episode.
