What are your thoughts on....

I think you will find most people here would prefer not think about him ...

1st about spelling i apologise but im dyslexic.

and ill check other links out thanks

OK, I'll bite

Firstly I think we have to note that at least some of the people he works with are desperate and have tried many other trainers or methods, with no improvement. If it's a choice between a dog being PTS and Cesar Milan, I vote for the latter.

He seems to help some people and some dogs, I don't doubt that.

But...

I dislike some of his methods
- alpha roll
- kicking
- the hand jabbing or as he calls it 'biting'

Also a big problem is the sheer number of people who now call themselves 'dog whisperers' and charge astonishing fees simply to then copy Mr Milan.

I myself encountered one such trainer two weeks after adopting Dexter. He was recommended to me by the rescue group via which I found Dexter. This particular trainer declared my dog 'dominant' literally within minutes of meeting him - absurd as he is not!

Some of his advice did help - I acknowledge that. But ultimately he didn't help the bigger problems and so months later, after struggling a lot, I had to find another, far more experienced trainer.

I've seen dog walkers in my area imitate Cesar Milan with the hand jabs - the poor dogs!!

Sums it up very nicely, KW well done!
And apologies to shaunclemens... you weren't to know your Freudian spelling was so accurate

I think the main thing you might want to take on board about said Mr. Seizure Milan, is that he uses [mod edit see below] while saying he does not.
