TV training shows and editing
Please allow me to start a new thread; Sally's loss made it too sad to
continue on the other. As was pointed out, Animal Planet began the season with two shows: "Monks of New Skete" and "Me or the Dog" with Victoria Stillwell. The first went into hiatus after a couple of weeks (taking a small dog to their facility for thirty days to treat forging on leash?). Victoria seems to work magic. Since she is a fellow member of the Canadian-based IPDTA (International Positive Dog Training Association) I asked how much editing was involved. She fell about laughing (the Brits do that). "Hours .... days of reinforcement were left out!). I worry about the average owner watching Millan. ("Average owners" don't frequent this group). When his methods are clumsily imitated, harm can be caused. Many of the lawsuits against him are prompted by the assistants he employs at his facility. Diane (where is she?) saw Barbara Woodhouse train, and the woman was magic with her authority and dog-savvy, but I think she caused great harm. Her skill with the well-timed "pop" on the chain caused many dogs to be strangled by people who thought they could be her. |

Victoria seems to use a lot of common sense, much like Cesar, in her training methods. I do enjoy watching her work with the dogs *and* the owners. As with both programs, it's basically the owners who need most of the work. I worry about the average owner watching Millan. ("Average owners" don't frequent this group). When his methods are clumsily imitated, harm can be caused. Many of the lawsuits against him are prompted by the assistants he employs at his facility. I hadn't heard about lawsuits against Millan? I do understand your concern, I guess it's just hard for me to comprehend average owners not knowing or understanding their dogs well enough to perhaps anticipate what the dogs reaction will be to any sort of training. I certainly don't doubt there are totally clueless people out there buying dogs. When I've used some of Cesars methods, I pretty much know ahead of time whether I could possibly get myself in trouble. As an example, my dogs, especially Merlin, will go completely nuts if they see a cat outside. Before I *owned* the window, I made sure *I* had his attention. I made sure he knew it was me here who was moving in front of that window to back him away from it. I *know* he won't bite me, once his focus also includes my presence and not simply that cat that has him so riled up. Merlin is a very stubborn dog. Gracie is more amenable to training in general. td |

I believe that the owner is a rapper whose name escapes me at the moment, and he bunks with CM when the guy is away. and he's not well, and is going to lose him soon. That sucks. He seems like a nice dog. Did he say what was wrong with him? Suja |

"montana wildhack" wrote in message: "Many people donŐt know that Daddy originally belonged to rapper Redman. When the pit bull was four months old, Redman didnŐt feel he could care for it properly in his environment. He sought a trainer and, through a referral, found Cesar. Daddy has been with the Millan family ever since!" I could've sworn I saw him at the end of one of the episodes explaining that Daddy is Redman's dog, he's taken care of him since he was a puppy, and that he comes over to stay with him when his owner travels.
