Why is the Dog Whisperer even on TV? He abuses animals for entertainment purposes, anyone with a little up-to-date dog behaviour knowledge can see that. The guys been banned from working with dogs in several countries and his books are banned in many retail outlets. I think pick is incredible irresponsible by showing this hideous programme. After working in animal rescue I've seen the devastating effects it has had on peoples beloved dogs. Dog training is all about positive reward based techniques... Csar Milan's techniques are from the 1980's and he bases his theories on wolf pack behaviour which has also been debunked in recent years. If the word dominant and pack are used by trainers then stay clear as they haven't bothered to update in the last 30 or so years. Take it off your channel as it encourages people to think that its ok to treat dogs the way he does.
