From your PM, regarding Cesar:
"He is incredible, no doubt, but he has also killed people's pits by leaving them unattended on treadmills on more than one occasion (one was a big NBC or CBS exec or something) and he has displayed other things that have troubled me. redman had a problem with a pitbull of his, so cesar took it, trained and then took it on an appearance on the jay leno show. The dog was extremely sweet, well behaved and kind. With a simple command, the dog was growling and looking menacingly at Leno, then he made another command and the dog went right back to its previous state. "
I have NEVER EVER heard that about the CBS/NBC exec. Please prove that. I ain't sayin it isn't true but I doubt it.
Also. Redman gave his pitbull to Cesar when he was a puppy so he wouldn't have to travel with it. He uses that pitbull "Daddy" for a ton of shows and brings him to any appearance local in the LA area. I have never heard anything of the sort about Daddy.
Cesar did a seminar for the Colonial Rottweiler Club about a year ago. Mostly all of my obedience school went. It was awesome and he spoke for like 3 hours. Someone had their Rottie there who was from another club, I believe his name was "Nike" and at the very end of the show they let the dog out of the crate and Cesar completely ignored it. It eventually gravitated toward Cesar and they were playing and he was petting him. Now Nike is a supposedly aloof dog according to his owner, I had never met the person before, and the dog just melted around him.
Secondly, the trainer of my obedience class, her dog is OTCH. Look it up if you don't know what it means. When her dog got her "OTCH" she was invited by the Dog Pysch Center of LA(Cesar's place) to come out when they met at the seminar. She did not bring her dog, but coming from a woman who spoke so highly of him and the dog psychology center, I take her word 100%. This is a woman who has a dog who has completed every possible obedience title there is on TWO dogs.
Of all the "dog psychologists"/trainers/guru's whatever you wanna call them out there, he is not one I have a problem with. The Monks of New Skete and their flip flopping, and their level of physicality, while I do not disagree it can be useful, I disagree with.
