Cesar Millan the Dog Trainer

Not all of us can be a dog trainer. This may be due to work or simply due to not knowing enough about dog behavior in order to train our pets effectively. A good trainer knows that there is more to training than simply teaching the dog to walk on a leash. He or she can weed out dog aggression and help pet owners understand the rules of the canine world. A dog trainer can be a great investment if it means your dog's safety and your sanity.

Maybe you have not heard of a show called "The Dog Whisperer" featuring world renowned dog trainer Cesar Millan but it has gained tremendous popularity as more and more pet owners turn to his expertise to show us how to love and care for our dogs. He is famous for his pet training obedience classes as well as coming into select family homes to show them that a dog trainer teaches both the dog and owner how to coexist and be a happy family.

Why is this particular dog trainer so popular? It is because he takes dogs that might otherwise be a nuisance or a danger to others, and rehabilitates them on the dog's level. He understands the mindset of a canine and as such can make tremendous strides in training a dog. There are dogs on the show that were not given any puppy training and have come to rule their owners. They bark, growl and bite. Yet, Millan goes into the house and interacts with the dogs using "pack mentality" that works.

Cesar Millan pushes the idea that the owner must be the dog trainer. He or she must become the Alpha in the household and not let the dog run the show. An Alpha member of the pack is the one who makes the decisions. He or she dictates what happens within the group. The dog owner must be the Alpha in order for the dog to know who is in charge and what is expected of him or her.

If you do not have the opportunity to watch an episode of "The Dog Whisperer" you can still find out more about Cesar Millan and his training practices. His website, http://www.cesarmillaninc.com, offers valuable tips and advice on dealing with pooch problems. You can talk to other dog owners as well as read articles from the veterinarian on staff.
