    Cesar's Tips for Summer

    Cesar's Summer Tips
    1.) EXERCISE YOUR DOG EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LATE AT NIGHT.
    These are the cooler parts of the day, and this will make the walk more comfortable for both you and your dog.

    I'm a believer in vigorous exercise for healthy dogs, but this is the time of year to back off on exercise intensity.

    2.) USE DOGGIE BOOTS. You can find these at your local pet supply store. If you can't walk your dog during the early and later hours of the day, this is a good way of protecting it. Heat rises from the ground, especially on surfaces like cement and asphalt, and dogs absorb and release heat through their feet. Just like boots prevent the dog from absorbing the cold in the winter, they also isolate heat.

    3.) WATCH FOR SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION. Dogs can't sweat. They cool off by panting, so an overheated dog will drool excessively. It will become lethargic, its eyes will be bloodshot and it may appear a little pale. If you lift its skin, it will take...

    The Latest Q&A from Pets911.com

    Cesar continues to answer questions on Pets911. If you would like your issue addressed, you can submit it via the Pets911.com website



    Hi,

    I have a 9 yr old German Sheppard named Tessa. She came to us as a rescue when she was 3 yrs old. She loves riding in the car and is always anxious to go. But, she WHINES unless you let the windows down so she can stick out her head. She won't stop whining, until you let the window down. Sometimes, it is cold, and raining (she doesn't mind) but we do!

    Please help, how can we stop this whining? When the window is down, she looks for dogs, horses, people, etc as we travel so she can bark at them. If she's out of the car she usually will calm down. If we stop the car and there are lots of people around with other stimulation she'll whine. It's a mouth open wail of a whine that is loud. If someone walks up to the car and talks to us we can't hear them because of her loud whining.

    Thanks for your help!

    Success story & Next Month's Contest

    Nicole Wright and Yukon Tune in next month for information on news about SEASON THREE of the DOG WHISPERER series, more Cesar live appearances and a few surprises! In the meantime, here is a great success story from Nicole Wright.

    Hi!! My name is Nicole Wright, and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I discovered you and your wonderful show in January. It was fate, because only weeks later, my husband Alex and I went to the shelter to drop off some dog food for them when we saw Yukon - a 1 1/2 year old Alaskan Husky. Our eyes met, and my husband and I knew instantly that we were going to take him home. Yukon was scheduled to be put down only 24 hours later, so I am convinced that the hand of an angel was in control of our destiny. Unfortunately, we had to wait a day before we could take Yukon home so they could process our application. The moment I got home, I was on the computer researching Husky's and their behavior. Just about all of the websites I found complained about how hyper and destructive Husky's were. But knowing your techniques and seeing them work every day on your show, I felt confident that Alex and I could be great pack leaders.

    The next day we went to pick up our new member of the family. Instead of taking him home and spoiling him with all the toys we had bought the night before, we took him home and took him for a 2 hour walk. Alex and I switched off walking him every couple of minutes until Yukon had firmly established who were the pack leaders in the family. Alex is in the Army, and at that time we were stationed at Ft. Stewart, GA. Alex is a very friendly person, and we always had people over to our house. I can't tell you how many compliments we got from everyone, how many times I heard, "Your dog is so well-behaved!!! Can I take him home with me?" And every time I heard that, I smiled to myself, knowing that it was all because of you.

    The real test came only tonight. Alex and I were recently sent to Ft. Hood, TX. I have been taking Yukon on many long walks to make the move easier for him. There is one dog on our street - a white pit bull who goes berserk every time something walks past. He is a 70-lb mass of strength and power and teeth that obviously wants to kill whatever he has his attention on. He jumps and snarls, and the kids on the block are terrified of him. This evening Yukon and I were walking past when the pit bull somehow jumped the fence. I saw that he was charging for Yukon, and without thinking, I acted. I put myself between him and Yukon, snapped my finger and pointed to him, looking him directly in the eyes. My entire being resonated NO!! The pit bull stopped and looked at me. I pointed back to his yard and he turned around and went back. Then I simply kept on walking Yukon.

    It was only after that I realized that not for one second had I been afraid. I had simply seen the situation and taken control. I thought later what could have happened had that dog sunken his teeth into Yukon's throat, and I am convinced that Yukon would be dead, and we would be mourning the loss of our doggy-son. I am not very tall or very strong, and I fear that I would not have been able to pry the pit bull's jaws apart. But because of your teachings, I didn't have to. So thank you, Cesar. Because of you Alex, Yukon, and I are a happy pack, and my dog is safe. I know now that whatever life throws at me, I know that I can take control and calm the situation. God bless you and your team, Cesar!!!

    A grateful fan and student,

    Nicole Wright
