June Newsletter: Cesar's 2007 Seminar Tour Announced

June 2007 Issue

Cesar Millan


Father's Day

Some people inherit money; I inherited knowledge: knowledge from my father and also from his father. Since the same rules, boundaries and limitations were taught to me from two generations, it reinforced each lesson they taught me. My father and my grandfather played important roles in my development. Without them, I would not be the man I am today.

My father was a big influence on my life. As a child, he called me "The Champion" and carried me around like a trophy. He gave me the pride and motivation to push myself to become the best I can be.

My grandfather passed along his understanding of Mother Nature to me. Through watching him interact with the dogs on the farm, I learned much of what I know about dog psychology.

I hope to share my inheritance with my two sons, Calvin and Andre. Humans, like dogs, are a pack-oriented species. I teach my boys that taking care of others is really about taking care of yourself. If you are selfish, you will feel incomplete and lonely; only by giving to others will you really feel good about yourself.

I often talk about the one area in which my father was an example of what not to do. As a husband, he did not give my mother the support and affection she needed. I saw the negative effect this had on my mother. Today, I work hard to be a good husband.

To me, being a good husband, being a good friend, being a good dog owner, being good to Mother Nature--these are all parts of being a good father. I hope that, through my example, I can add the knowledge from my own life experience to the inheritance I pass along to my children.

I hope that the fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers who receive this newsletter find themselves surrounded by family and love on this Father's Day.

Stay calm and assertive!

2007 Seminar Dates Announcement & Live Appearance

Ask the VetThe star of the Emmy-nominated hit series “Dog Whisperer” brings his magic and wisdom about dogs and dog psychology to this unique live special event. Fans of the show and dog lovers alike will be immersed in Cesar’s world for three compelling hours, as the best-selling author of Cesar’s Way reveals his secrets to happier, healthier relationships between humans and their canine companions. 

Participants will come to understand not only how people can inadvertently play a role in their dog’s behavioral “issues," but also, how to change this dynamic by learning how to see the world through a dog's eyes.  Using his gift as an educator and entertainer state-of-the-art multimedia to illustrate his unique concepts and ideas - and most importantly his famous "calm-assertive energy" - Cesar keeps audiences spellbound as he opens them up to amazing new insights about man’s best friend...and also, about themselves.  Cesar's sense of humor and uncanny impressions add just the right amount of fun to the proceedings. See how Cesar’s "fulfillment formula" changes lives as he works to make the world a better place...one dog at a time.

Feature: Spay and Neuter Myths

Spaying or neutering your dog is an important part of responsible pet ownership. Unneutered male dogs that are not able to mate experience frustration, which can lead to aggression. Unspayed female dogs attract unwanted attention every six months. From a psychological and biological point-of-view, it is the best thing for your dog. When you get your dog spayed or neutered, be sure your dog is in a calm and balanced state. Never spay or neuter a frustrated, nervous, tense, aggressive, or anxious dog!

Pet overpopulation and euthanasia are a continuing problem. Be a part of the solution: spay or neuter your pets.

Cesar Millan

In the United States, seven puppies and kittens are born for every one human. As a result, there are just not enough homes for the animals, and four to five million dogs and cats are euthanized every year.

Sterilizing dogs and cats has been hailed as the most effective method for pet population control. You can help save lives by spaying and neutering your pet. If pets can’t breed, they don’t produce puppies that end up in animal shelters to be adopted or euthanized. Currently, over 56% of dogs and approximately 75% of cats entering shelters...

Ask the Vet: Pet Food Recall

Ask the VetAmid all the pet food recalls there is so much controversy about feeding our pets commercial pet foods. Can you recommend a food that I can make at home for my dog? She has been eating [a national brand] since she was born. Now whenever she eats this, she vomits within two minutes. I have given her brown rice cooked in chicken broth for the last 2 or 3 days and this stays down. Do you have any suggestions? My dog is a German Rottweiler. She will be 6 years old in August, she is an indoor dog, and is kept current on all of her vaccines as well as Heartguard and Frontline. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sincerely,

C. Teer

I usually do not recommend homemade diets for dogs. The pet food companies are not perfect, but they have teams of nutritionists who work hard to build foods that provide optimum nutrition for pets. I have always said that if the high-end commercial food companies made “human food”, I would feed it to my family and myself. If cooking is the only thing you feel safe with, there are several websites that can provide recipes. Once you do find one, follow it completely, including...

Cesar’s Co-Stars: Profiles of Pack Members - Rakim

Ask the VetThe Crate Escape. Rakim the pit bull’s penchant for getting out of enclosed spaces is impressive by any dog’s standards. But at only 3 years old, his destructive methods and aggressive need to roam eventually led his guardians to worry about his safety. And at the height of his turbulent behavior, they began to wonder if his reckless daredevil bids for freedom might be a sign that he was suicidal.

Brought up in a home in Southern California in which both of his caregivers worked during the day, Rakim was rarely indoors for very long. Often, the couple would come home to find him wandering the neighborhood, having chewed and broken his way through the thick plaster walls and out of the house!

Desperate to discover what fueled his destructive behavior, they called Cesar for a consultation. With a new regimen of exercise and a healthy dose of rules, boundaries, and limitations, Rakim seemed…

Success Story & Next Month’s Newsletter

Ask the VetJoin us again next month for more helpful advice from our resident vet Dr. Sherry Weaver, yet another in-depth pack member profile, news, and special announcements regarding our next contest and the release date for Cesar’s second book! For now, here’s a success story from Leslie L. of Chantilly, VA.

I became an avid fan and true believer of the Power of the Pack after adopting my first rescue dog Bella from a private no kill shelter.  She was afraid of everything, and she lacked confidence and social skills.  By applying Cesar’s mindset and remaining calm and assertive, I was able to bring her out of her shell, build her confidence, and see the sweet dog she really is.  She has become a great ambassador to her breed and when people meet her they can’t believe she is a pit bull.  She is so calm, patient, and obedient. They are shocked to see a rescued pit bull behaving so beautifully.  That was almost 3 years ago and we are doing great. 

I have since adopted another pit bull, a Katrina rescue named Wally.  He was a shy guy, and after all that had happened to him he was reluctant to bond.  Using Cesar’s method I brought him into our home, and after many walks and time spent working with Wally and...
