Very Interesting Article on Cesar Millan

I think the conclusion goes way beyond the author's expertise, and he very cleverly avoids discussing the effects of Cesar Millan's (hopefully) former methods, but many of his points are interesting and made me think.

Please feel free to read and comment and to engage in (civil) discussion.

A snippet from the article:
Far from being helpful, the academics say, training approaches aimed at “dominance reduction” vary from ( Read more... )

Expert behavioral scientist disputes Cesar Millan

Jim Ha, PhD writes about his thoughts on Cesar Millan after being interviewed for an investigative report done at KOMO-TV (link to video) bringing his abusive training techniques to light.

Explains very clearly why his techniques are dangerous and not scientifically sound. I literally cheered when I watched the video last week.

A few people I know enjoy watching Cesar Millan and insist that his methods "work very well". I am not a trainer, and don't watch TV - so I really can't comment. However I know a lot of the trainers here are very adamantly against what he teaches. Can anyone sum up why so I can point these people to this post, instead of arguing about something ( Read more... )
