| DOG WHISPERER Episode #205: Katrina Dogs, Canine Confidential & Nugget Hound |
 |
|
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit
Louisiana as the third most powerful storm of the
Atlantic hurricane season. In addition to the
horrendous loss of life and property, thousands of
beloved pets of the victims were left behind.
A cry rang out across the nation and numerous
animal shelters rose to the occasion, sending help to
the pets that were stranded by the storm. Tom and
Valerie Schomburg were two volunteers who made
their way to the Big Easy to rescue as many animals
as they could. Cheri Lucas, founder of Second
Chance at Love Humane Society, also responded to
the nation's plea for help by sheltering twenty dogs
for Operation Rescue Ruff-u-gee.
Cheri had picked three dogs from her group that
seemed to be the most traumatized and unstable;
Cesar volunteered to take them in. Cesar plans to
rehabilitate them and with a little help from his wife
Ilusion, hopefully find the dogs' original owners or
new homes for the three canines.
Also on this episode, Burl Barer is an investigative
crime journalist and novelist. Judy Faye is a
Broadway diva. The two met on the internet, and it
was love at first sight. That was until Burl's dog Isis
met Judy's dog Tina. Isis, a pit bull, and Tina,
a pit bull mix, are very aggressive towards each
other. The fights have become so bad that, when
Judy and Burl are together, they must leave at least
one dog in the yard. Judy and Burl are as much in
love with their dogs as they are with each other, so
leaving the dogs at home is not an option. With talk
of marriage and moving in floating in the air,
a future together may not happen if the dogs can’t
get along.
Cesar is called in to bridge the rift between Tina and
Isis to help bring Judy and Burl closer together. Can
Cesar complete this love connection?
Finally, Russ and Nancy Briley adopted Nugget, a Blue
Tick Hound/Great Dane mix, from a local shelter when
he was just two months old. As he grew larger, so
did his appetite. Nugget developed a taste for
soccer cones, dish towels, the wood from his owner's
box spring, rugs, and even the family trampoline,
which resulted in emergency surgery for the dog.
With home accessories turning up in pieces and the
carpet being trashed, the Briley's have decided that
it's time to get some help.

Check out Cesar's latest contribution to
DogChannel.com with his comments on how to start
your relationship with a new puppy:
For your puppy to grow into a healthy, balanced dog,
you must demonstrate leadership from day one.
New puppy owners often make the mistake of
endlessly worrying about finding the right puppy
treats or bed. They spend little or no time worrying
about how or what they will teach their new puppy.
Yes, a puppy needs nutritious food and a safe, warm
place to live. But another equally powerful and
important biological necessity is the need for a
strong pack leader to serve as the dominant source
of alpha energy in their lives.
Puppies are naturally hard-wired to follow a pack
leader. A pack leader is, by definition, strong, stable
and consistent - traits many new puppy owners
forget around their dogs. I have had clients who are
strong leaders in their jobs, but when they come
home they turn to mush with their dogs. Then they
come to me, puzzled as to why their dog
won’t "behave." Puppies sense our confidence
levels and will take control if they perceive us as
weak. When dogs or puppies take control, "bad"
behaviors, such as excessive barking, leash-pulling,
or anxiety, will develop.
The most important thing you can do is to become
your puppy’s pack leader. This role doesn’t begin
when your dog is six months old or when he’s “bad.”
For your puppy to grow into a healthy, balanced dog,
you must demonstrate leadership from day one.
Here are some important points to remember in your
role as pack leader:

Cesar Millan, Inc. starts off the month of
February with the launch of the newly revamped
Cesar Millan, Inc. website.
The new site is divided into four divisions that make
up the Cesar Millan umbrella. This includes Cesar
Millan, Inc.; the hit cable show, "Dog Whisperer with
Cesar Millan"; The Dog Psychology Center of Los
Angeles; and the new Cesar Millan Products' site
based on animal friendly products from the Dog
Psychology Center and Cesar Millan Inc.
Currently, Cesar cannot take on any new clients.
For all those who have asked Cesar for help with
their dogs, we encourage you to visit the new Dog
Psychology Center page on the site. It includes a
list of ways you can find a canine professional that
can help you with any problems you may have.
We strongly encourage you to keep revisiting the site
as we will continue to add more information every
month. Right now the site is only at the beginning
stages of being a complete reflection of Cesar’s
philosophy and methods, a resource center on how
to reach professionals around the country, and a
way to find information that can help you improve
your relationship with dogs.

I bought the DVD and wanted you to know I saw
a huge difference in my schnauzer, Mickey, after just
one day.
We are now going on two walks a day...and I don't
allow him to walk ahead of me. I have become the
leader and his behavior has shifted dramatically.
WOW...I was doing all the wrong things with this
puppy. After watching the DVD I understood the
theory behind raising a balanced dog. I thought all
the love in the world was enough, but not so. My
husband has noticed the difference too.
I just wanted to say thank you and I am passing the
DVD around at work. Caesar is just a miracle for
dogs and for us dog owners. Thanks a million.

Fabulous Introduction to Understanding
Dog Psychology - A "Must Have" For Every Dog
Owner
I have done pet behavior counseling for many years
so I thought I knew a few things about dogs. That is
until I discovered Cesar Millan's TV show "The Dog
Whisperer". Then I realized how much more there
was to learn. So I was thrilled when his DVD "People
Training for Dogs" was released and couldn't wait for
it to arrive.
Since I've taped all his shows, I was glad that this
DVD was primarily an hour long lecture on dog
psychology. I was most impressed with the content.
Cesar covers all the key elements we 'humans' need
to understand (including the 'why' of it all) in order to
become the calm and assertive pack leader that is so
crucial in creating that perfect canine/human
relationship.
I also like that the DVD contains a Chapter Section,
making it quick and easy to review specific segments
of information. And the section on Cesar feeding his
30+ pack of dogs was amazing to say the least.
I can't say enough good things about this DVD. It
contains a wealth of valuable information and insights
that every dog owner can benefit from knowing. I
HIGHLY recommend it for every dog owner, but
almost more importantly, for every person even
contemplating having a dog as part of their
household. This is critical information you need to
know and understand so it can be implemented from
day one, thus eliminating the potential for bad
behaviors to manifest.
