The Dog Whisperer - anyone?

Recommended Posts

Has anybody else seen this show?
I saw it last night, very skilled dog trainer and he really seems to understand the animals.
His "alpha male" treatment of agressive dogs was very impressive. Even pit bull haters would be impressed! :P He trained a pit to eliminate it's agressive behavior towards other dogs, it was almost amazing. He also has 3 or 4 pitts in his pack of dogs and they're babies! The red nose pitt is also a very good looking dog.

As he states, he's not training the dogs; he's training the people. After a few episodes, you'll begin to see the pattern of taking charge of the dog; not letting the dog take charge of you. I think he's providing an excellent service/training for a lot of people. I think the one thing that drives me nuts is seeing people who get a dog, throw them in the back yard and say, "I have a pet dog." But, don't realize there's more responsibility that comes with ownership than just throwing food at it twice a day - playing with them, training them, exercising them, etc.
Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I saw the show for the first time yesterday (I don't own a dog), and it was the exact episode you mentioned. He definitely knows what he is doing. I don't think the dog in that episode was a Pitt though. He was an aggressive little bastard though.

I love the Dog Whisperer! AndyMan and I watched several episodes before getting our dog, and his tips are helping immensely. I always had a dog growing up, and my last dog, a westie, was totally neurotic. Andy also had a neurotic dog as a kid, and now we understand why--we never exercised our dogs properly nor gave them proper discipline, just affection!

New season of the Dog Whisperer starts on Friday! B| I love Popeye--he is the rehabilitated, formerly "red zone" pit bull who lost one of his eyes in a fight. Now he's a big gentle baby!

Have you seen the South Park episode with the Dog Whisperer?

Edit: He should stop training people how to raise dogs and start training people how to raise kids ...



That has to be one of my favorite episodes.

Back to the original topic, the guy is amazing.



That was funny. And so true!

I love that show, and even my dog watches it with me sometimes. But only when dogs are barking.
