I predict this going to the dogs

Mr. Millan is not known outside America — the link gives no clue as to what he is famous for — but it seems odd none of these weird bozos who get robbed shove their jewellery in a bank when they leave town. ---

He is known outside of the US. The Dog Whisperer, Doggie Nightmares and Leader of the Pack have all aired on cable in Australia. ---

He’s famous as a “Dog Whisperer”. In Aus. he is know to people who watch cable television. The term “Dog Whisperer” is derived from the term “Horse Whisperer”. The term “Horse Whisperer” would be known to people who have an interest in horses or (English language) popular romantic literature. ---

> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > Mr. Millan is not known outside America — the link gives no clue as to what he is famous for — “Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan” was broadcast in more than 80 countries, so he’s definitely known outside the United States. ---

Obviously I was wrong. Sounds like reality show crap. ---

> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > Obviously I was wrong. Sounds like reality show crap. Yes, but not in the usual sense of “reality show crap”, because the show isn’t focused on Cesar Millan or his clients: it’s focused on the dogs, the dogs are all different, and it’s not the same 5 minutes spun out into the same half hour over and over again for each episode. It’s a different 10 or 15 minutes spun out into a different half hour every episode, so it’s not a tight drama, but it’s better than some History Channel documentories. ---

Also, unlike every other reality show, the dogs have NOT been preselected to produce maximum conflict and drama. ---

He’s even worked with the dogs of famous people, such as Denise Richards’ (actress and Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife) and Ed McMahon’s. ---

> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > Obviously I was wrong. Sounds like reality show crap. When you believed you were right it was about something slightly more important than reality show crap, huh? But since you’re wrong it’s less important. It is to laugh. If he’s not genuinely good at training dogs to be better housepets he does an amazing job at getting them to behave themselves while filming goes on. ---

He claims to know what dogs are not only saying, but thinking, and says he can communicate with them telepathically. Sort of a Dr. Woo-Doo-Little. His assistant is a quack, Gub-Gub. (just kidding) ---

I guess Cesar didn’t have his pack of dogs at that house. One of his houses is inside his dog training facility. No way is anybody getting past that pack of big dogs. ---

 Anyway, CĂ©sar is pretty well known outside the US. ---

 It’s a different 10 or 15 minutes spun out into a different half hour every episode, so it’s not a tight drama, but it’s better than some History Channel documentories. But there going to combine them into a new series – _The Dogs Who Killed Kennedy_ ---

As long as we’re on the subject, the owner of the dog day care where my daughter works is adamantly against this man’s methods and says they are abusive and every dog in her care that went through the training has become passive-aggressive anxiety pissers. My daughter wrote a report in college about him and discovered his methods have no foundation in science and the pack “alpha” mentality thing isn’t true at all. His research was done on wolves, not domesticated dogs.
