Just wondering really, if any of you rate Cesar Millan from the Dog Whisperer or Victoria from It's Me or the Dog?
I occassionally watch the Dog Whisperer, mainly laugh at the silly people that never exercise their dogs and wonder why they're naughty! But a few things make sense that I had never really though of before, such as a dominant dog howling/barking when left alone, he says it's a protest because the dog thinks it's the leader of the pack and he thinks he should decide when you leave and when you don't, rather than it always being a case that the dog is sad that you're gone.
Then I recently saw It's Me or the Dog, and to be fair I only saw 5 minutes of the particular episode but she was giving treats to a dog that wanted to bark at other dogs out on a walk, which I thought was odd and a completely different way of training.
My mum used to be really into obedience and training when I was growing up so have a little bit of an idea, but now I've got a littl'un of my own I'd like to make a good start!
Just wondering if anyone rated either of these TV trainers or any others and what you thought of them?
