--CESAR Millan, TV's "Dog Whisperer," has been hit with two lawsuits.
The first, filed by TV producer Flody Suarez, claims his dog was
injured at Millan's facility after being choked with a collar and
forced to run on a treadmill. Millan is also being sued by his former
publicist, who claims she conceived the name "Dog Whisperer" for
Millan. National Geographic Channel declined comment.

'Dog Whisperer' Sued by TV Producer

A television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, star
of TV's "The Dog Whisperer," claiming that his Labrador retriever
was injured at Millan's training facility after being suffocated
by a choke collar and forced to run on a treadmill.

In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Superior Court, "8 Simple Rules"
producer Flody Suarez says he took 5-year-old Gator to the Dog
Psychology Center on Feb. 27 to deal with fears of other dogs
and strangers.

Hours after dropping the dog off at the facility, Suarez claimed
a worker called to inform him the animal had been rushed to a
veterinarian. He later found the dog "bleeding from his mouth and
nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath and with severe bruising
to his back inner thighs," the lawsuit claims.

The facility's workers allegedly placed a choke collar on the dog,
pulled him onto a treadmill and forced him to "overwork." Suarez
says he spent at least $25,000 on medical bills and the dog must
undergo more surgeries for damage to his esophagus.

A call to the Dog Psychology Center, also named as a defendant,
was not immediately returned. A spokesman for National Geographic
Channel, which airs Millan's show, declined comment.

"As of this time, the National Geographic Channel has not been
served with either lawsuit, and we do not comment on pending
litigation," said Russell Howard, the channel's vice president
of communications.

The complaint claims breach of contract, fraud, animal cruelty
and intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other
allegations. It seeks more than $25,000 in damages.
