Is this show done yet? After a few episodes, you know the story, nothing ever changes. I can't stand it when I tune to National Geographic Channel to have my kids watch something they will learn from, only to find the Dog Whisperer on. I guess you have to love dogs to appreciate; I like dogs, 'had them all through my youth and even adult life, but I just think this show is one of the most boring shows and not up to par with what National Geographic stands for... or used to.
I hope it gets cancelled. He gives horrible advice and so many people follow his directions incorrectly. The moment he had a line of food, treats, beds, water with his name on it for dogs was the moment I thought he needs to retire. If he was such a good guy, he wouldn't have had flavored pet waters and food that was horrible.
What good dog trainer markets themselves like that? I am sure plenty of people bought into it but it was all a waste of money!
I think Caesar Milan's dog training style is atrocious. I would NEVER have my dog trained by someone who employed his methods. I'm much more fond of Victoria Stillwell's methods.
There is much debate on what works (do a google search and you'll see). I just know which method has worked with my 4-legged fur child ... and it wasn't through my dominating my dog into submission. I don't think I could ever use that style to train my dog.
So in that regard ... I'm about ready for Caesar's 15-minutes to be up.

I agree. I like Victoria Stillwell much better - there are still methods she uses that I don't agree with, but she would never hurt a dog. I can't tell you how many people have come to my training classes or who surrendered their dog to the Humane Society who tried his approaches and failed.
Try fail because they don't follow his advice to the T. They also don't listen to well. Even he says to not try it by yourself, to get a professional. So why blame him for the idiocy of others.

He shouldn't have a show if he doesn't expect people to try his methods. They read his books too - and follow those methods and fail at those. When is it ever a good idea to make a dog fearful? NEVER. You don't hear about people trying Victoria Stillwell's methods and turning their dogs into the humane society because they can't fix a problem. Nor, do you get that from people watching the Monks of New Skete. He is just some guy that got lucky by befriending a celebrity so then he suddenly became an expert in dog training when he is clearly not interested in training dogs, but making money. His marriage ended because of that.
He doesn't make dogs fearful of him. He makes them respect him which is the way it should be. My dogs respect me. Most people let their dogs control them, should be the other way around.

Riiight, that's why he's got about a dozen dogs, because he isn't interested in training dogs at all. And I didn't realize you were privy to the intimate details of his private life, you must know him or his ex-wife really well.
