"Dog Whisperer?"..."Is there a dog that whispers?" Well, these are the questions that some (who find the title strange and uncanny) may ask. However, to the millions who know, 'dog whisperer' is the Emmy Award-nominated, National Geographic channel serial. The serial features the real life role of world famous 'Cesar Millan', specifically, his self-developed, unconventional and unique dog disciplining techniques. Here's some information to help you gain insight about this king of, Dog Whisperers and his one-of-a-kind ways to control misbehaved dogs. Millan's forte is dealing with dogs that are naturally aggressive.

The focal point of Millan's techniques is 'Pack Leadership'. This is simply a process, whereby, the dog owner and other humans who interact with the dog, establish themselves as 'pack leaders', in other words, to show their (aggressive) dog WHO the 'bosses' (or 'pack leaders') really are. The Dog Whisperer serial also clearly demonstrates other training methods of Millan in real life - i.e., viewers introduction to misbehaved or aggressive dogs; owner's description of problems encountered with their dogs and Millan's own experience with difficult dogs. Millan's dog whisperer training also includes an interview with the dog owner, to understand the problem on hand. He follows up by offering suggestions as to how owners should change their own behavior in order to be a 'pack leader' for their dog. An important advice to intending Dog Whisperers is Millan's 3-step program - exercise, discipline and affection. Millan totally forbids beating and shouting at dogs during the dog training process. He has developed his own methods of intimidation which include, a blend of psychological and physical confrontation, e.g., choke collars, finger jabs and flooding - a punishment where the dog is overwhelmed with something he fears most.

Through the world acclaimed dog whisperer serial, Millan has brought his unique non-punitive training program into millions of homes and in this manner, has educated numerous dog owners in the shaping of dog behavior. In essence, Millan believes that misbehavior or aggressiveness, is only a natural manifestation of the dog's 'pack leader' instinct and this trait can be significantly altered in making the animal accept that his or her owner is the real leader. The dog whisperer also goes on to reveal that the blame, for continuing aggressive behavior by the family dog, rests solely on the shoulders of the woman at home. By his, and accepted logic, women apply affection before discipline whereas, men apply discipline before affection. This can affect the efforts of Dog Whisperers, as divergent treatment, (the woman's friendly approach versus the man's more disciplinary action) will confuse their dog. To counter this, Millan advises a firm, unified approach by all family members.

Finally, you must know that there are several organizations and societies that impart training in dog care and control and if you have misbehaved or aggressive dogs, you may certainly consult such organizations. However, it will also serve you well to consider Millan's dog whisperer training methods and then evaluate the results for yourself.
