Help for Baby?

I think you're missing the point. I think it's great for him to use the techniques if they work for him and he can do so safely. I don't think it's good for people with no dog training experience to try to use his techniques at the risk of them getting bitten. As littleindiangirl said, there are many different training styles. My recommendation would be that people only use physical dominance based training styles under the close guidance of a trainer.

I don't feel the need to watch his show and I think I have a very good grasp of his training techniques. Obviously they work for him... I just don't think they should be tried by someone who is a novice at training.

As for your last comment, I would guess that his show only airs the success stories. Sadly, not all dogs can be rehabilitated.

I have to disagree once more. I have never seen him aggressively confront a dog in the red zone. In fact, he points out to most owners that this is the wrong way to confront a riled up and aggressive animal.

Maybe you consider all confrontation as aggressive. (which, from the looks of this thread, I do have to seriously consider true).

Confronting an animal is not an attack, and he has never done that with a dog. He aims to be calm and assertive. Calm, you aren't adding fuel to the fire. This involves body language, tone of voice and movements. Cesar strongly advises that giving the wrong energy to the situation only makes it worse.

When you confront an already freaked dog, being aggressive is only going to make the situation worse and he goes on to explain this to the humans that think it's the only way to get the animal back is by being more aggressive than the dog, like a "fight" of who can be the worst.


Things you have come here with as "proof", I have honest to God never seen him do or teach other's to do (such as confronting a dog aggressively), which leads me to believe you really haven't watched.
