BEYOND CESAR MILLAN

20 YEARS LATER.....The following review was submitted to National Geographic by Dr. Andrew Luescher, DVM, Ph.D, DACVB (board-certified veterinary behaviorist).

Dr. Luescher, former director of the Purdue University Veterinary Behavior Clinic was asked to provide feedback on "Dog Whisperer" tapes prior to the show's airing.

In this letter to National Geographic (date unknown), Dr. Luescher writes,

"I think this series, if aired, would be a major embarrassment for National Geographic. It is not stimulating or thought-provoking, since none of the presented techniques are new. They are outdated and have long been abandoned by most responsible trainers, let alone behaviorists, as inappropriate and cruel. I very much hope National Geographic will pull the plug on this program."

Please read the entire letter (It's not long.) and share: http://beyondcesarmillan.weebly.com/andrew-luescher.html

This program and trainers who have mimicked the behavior seen in this program have done so much damage to the dog training industry, dogs, and the human-animal bond.

I have met and spoken to Dr. Luescher personally, and I share his sentiments, as do all other trainers in the evidence-based, best practice camp. Meanwhile, much of the unsuspecting public still looks to National Geographic as an authority and has no idea it has thrown science to the wind, at least in terms of dog behavior and training.

Prisoners(murderers, child molesters, drug dealers) are treated better than these poor souls who love unconditionally.

Keep telling yourself that there's nothing wrong with using a prong/pincher collar on your dog. Because it doesn't really hurt 😢

What motivates your dog? Open the fridge (and try safe food), tip out the toy box- check for a reaction! Always use what works for them- what they find fun is what you will get the best result from. Remember to keep high value rewards for new training and high distraction areas and don't be afraid to mix it up a bit so they stay interested.

A great treat since it's been so hot! Make sure the peanut butter is pet safe. Read the label and make sure it doesn't contain artificial sugars like *BIRCH SUGAR* aka XYLITOL as it's deadly.

I recently worked with a client whose walks with their dog were supposed to be a peaceful. Instead, they turned into a stressful tug-of-war. Every time, they'd end up exhausted and frustrated.
With my guidance, we implemented simple techniques to help them learn as a team and to enjoy their walks.
🐶 Now, their walks are a relaxing and helps build a stronger relationship🐶 They have some pep in their step and enjoy their time together without the constant pulling.
🐶 Both look forward to their time together again.
If walks with your dog are more of a struggle than a joy, let's chat.
