Cesar Millan Dog Whisperer

Most people have heard of the horse whisperer, thanks to the famous movie starring Robert Redford. Now the dog world has a whisperer of its very own, Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer. Cesar has his own show on the National Geographic Channel and a dog psychology center in Los Angeles, California.

Who is Cesar Millan?

Cesar Millan is orginally from Mexico, but came to the United States to perfect his methods. He knew he wanted to work with dogs since the tender age of eleven. In his home country, they called him "The Dog Man." This third-generation canine healer began studying canines in the fields of his Mexican ranch in Sinaloa, Mexico. He learned the secrets of the trade from his father, who in turn learned them from his father. However, neither his father nor his grandfather made any money working with the dogs. Millán realized that if he wanted to make a living working with canines, he was going to have to leave Mexico. So at the age of 21, with $100 in his pocket, he crossed the border into San Diego. Within days he was working with dogs in the United States, picking up poop and grooming dogs.

Cesar Millan, Dog Whisperer: Philosophy

Cesar Millan, dog whisperer is quick to tell you that he rehabilitates dogs and trains people. He believes that many problems that dogs have can be directly linked back to their owners. He sees many of his clients making the same mistake over and over again. Cesar says people in this country are more apt to treat their dogs as people and that this attitude causes issues. According to Cesar, dogs need three things to be happy and well-adjusted: exercise, discipline and love — in that order. He believes that if people set themselves up to be the pack leader amongst their dogs, it will go a long way to solve any issues they are having with their dogs. Cesar also believes that exercise is extremely important for a dog's daily routine. He recommends a minimum of one forty-five minute walk every morning.

Cesar's Activities

Cesar owns and operates Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles, California. It is a two acre facility used to rehabilitate dogs and train owners. Cesar rehabilitates up to thirty dogs at a time at his center. You can attend seminars at the center with Cesar as well.

In addition to running the center, Cesar also stars in a series on The National Geographic Channel as Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer. This show goes into the private homes of dogs and their owners. Under the watchful eye, guidance and teaching of Cesar Millan, the audience sees the changes that take place in the dogs and the people he helps. You can find out more about this show on the National Geographic web site.

Cesar has written a book to help dog owners and their dogs. The book is titled Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems.

Cesar has also created a DVD to help dogs and owners. The DVD is titled People Training for Dogs and is available from his center's web site.
