...some sort of training bible? Friday afternoon rant!
This might just be my opinion, but those are TV shows. They are cut and edited and the family that they end up showing is probably chosen from amongst 1000 other families with problem dogs. Its all nice and sweet how they fix a major problem in 30 minutes, but c'mon now!
I'm irritated when someone posts a dog behavior question and he/she is referred to a TV show that will magically solve all their problems.
Opinions?
There is a difference between a "tip" and a complete correction of a behavior.
Example...my dog just bit my child, what should I do?
answer: go watch the Dog Whisperer, its amazing.....WTH!
I think the shows are ok...I watched one or two myself. I guess I just dont take them very seriously.
BTW, I read a couple of puppy books when we first got our pup....all the information that Ceasar and Victoria use is in most of those books
They didnt really come up with anything new!
I think what might be easy for him, will not necessarily be easy for someone watching the show. People put a little too much emphasize on those shows. I'm not saying they are bad....
If Caesar gets a show on training the neigborhood pet...I get him FIRST
