Mum would love to see Caesar Milan next year but at £108 a ticket is it a good show.

Am wanting to get tickets for her birthday and would love to hear from anyone who's been or is going.
 
Its the same with anything animal related though, he's the Parrelli of the canine world, some love em some hate em.

The price above is the higher tier as I'd want them to have good seats but its still pricey, you could get into a West End show for less so thats why I'd like to know if his shows are good. If he's only on for an hour then its not good value IMO.
 
We saw him at the O2 in London couple of years ago and he was very good and we enjoyed it but I'm pretty certain some people left early as he mainly just talked and I think lots of people were expecting 'miracle cures' like he does on the TV.
 
i also went to see him and enjoyed the evening but £108 is a lot of money...how about treating her to the stage show of war horse....that is a fabulous show and much better value than cm. IMO....:D:D
 
I think he is the parelli of the canine world and £108 is a heck of a lot of money! Your decision at the end of the day.
 
I saw him last time he was in the UK. He was very interesting, but was mainly talking, he had a couple of dogs but they weren't too challenging imo. I wouldn't pay £108 to go and see him, as suggested perhaps take her to see War Horse or The Lion King, both amazing shows and I think both touring next year.
 
I enjoyed the show but the tickets were much cheaper, I think it was £50, I wouldn't pay that. With our show he used a Husky, the main thing was he took the lead off the harness and put it on the collar :p and a Newfie (who just so happened to be owned by the daughter of one of our top policitians :p)
 
I wouldn't pay that to see him but then again I have no respect for him or his methods so I'm probably not the best judge.

I'd be very surprised if the "Live Show", as it would be, would be as good as being on the telly. He deals with dogs, in the telly programmes, within their home environments, and that is the place for him to work. Take the dog out of that environment and place it on a stage, and in an auditorium, and I suspect that you would see a totally different animal, and one which whilst not within the security of his home, would react in a disproportionate manner. I also suspect that the dog wouldn't benefit from the experience, which is probably why those who attend his shows end up with the same lecture as they'd get from the telly!!

As others, I wouldn't pay £108 to go and see him, though he's someone who I'd very much like to meet.

Or he would not like to be seen live kicking, hitting and hanging dogs from a check chain live, without being able to edit it as he does on his tv shows.

I would not pay 108 pence to see him, but that just my opinion.
 
I saw his show a couple of years ago in Glasgow and thought it was crap. Looking back, I'm not really sure what I was expecting to see but I thought it was cheesy and he pretty much just talked, rather nervously for 2 or so hours, demonstrated how to get a dog off the furniture and that was pretty much it! I think I paid around £120 for two tickets.

He's HUNG a dog?!?!?!

In the most extreme of cases, cutting off a dog's wind supply, can have the desired effect. It doesn't tend to work with the most determined of dogs. With the most experienced, it may have a place.

Whether CM has ever done it, I can't say, but I would be staggered to hear that if he had, it would ever be on film. I strongly suspect that it's an accusation spread by the more malicious and ignorant, those with failing arguments.

Ah ok, hung is a hugely emotive term. If we're talking temp suspended a dog by its collar and lead in a moment of surprise and to fend off an attack-can't see an issue tbh. I wouldn't do it, but I've never been attacked like that.
To me "hung" brings visions of hanging for some time and obviously the more macabre connotations......
 
The problem, Boogaloo, is that for it to be affective, the wind supply needs to be cut off, so that the dog is rendered unconscious. For the most "Wooden" and recalcitrant, it can be a wake up call, as can being immersed under water, to the point of drowning, and I've done both with success. I've also had both systems fail. If today I had a dog which I felt was so difficult that it needed such treatment, then I'd probably put the dog down. Strangely, as I become older, I don't seem to have such dogs.

I view both of the above practices, as I view electric collars; others can use them if they wish, but they're not for me.
