[quote="Mei-Mei"]Because The Dog Whisperer is a television show it employs relatively simple problems and relatively simple answers. Have a biting Chi? Put it down and tell it to stop! Have a hyper dog? Take it for a walk! The premise of the show make is necessary for Caesar to look like a wonder worker. Don't expect to see very serious problems that take long term solutions. Don't get me wrong; I like the way Caesar encourages dogs to be dogs, but sometimes he gets a little new-agey. In addition, I sometimes feel like people think that that 'shhhhh' noise is the reason the dogs behave. If I hear one more person doing that.... :x . When my dogs misbehave I say, "What the heck do you think you're doing?" and they understand perfectly. It's the tone. I also like Victoria Stillwell (It's Me or the Dog). She seems to be a bit more plain spoken. The dominatrix outfit's a bit silly (a producer stunt, of course) but she definitely has some solid ideas about dog training. I like the way she addresses the owners directly, saying, "This is your problem. You did this and you have to fix it."[/quote] I'll second that about V. Stillwell. Her show "It's Me or The Dog" shows more nuts and bolts training. The Dog Whisperer goes more into CM's training philiosophy while "It's Me or The Dog" shows more of the actual training methodology. I enjoy both shows. However, I see "It's Me or The Dog" as providing more training tips.
