Dog Whisperer Week! Vote for Your Favorite Episodes

July 2007 Issue

Cesar Millan

Greetings,

The first time I really felt like I was a part of America was when I was watching fireworks and eating hot dogs and hamburgers on the Fourth of July. You can't get much more American than that! There are few places in the world where you can see a dog around the food. Here dogs are really family members. Whether taking a shower or cooking a meal, your dog can be right there with you – it's not a problem.

The sky is the limit in America. I truly believe that. It is the reason immigrants, such as myself, move here. In this country, you are free to be the person you choose to be spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. What can sometimes be missing is common sense. America is an intellectual country, an emotional country, a spiritual country – but not instinctual. Through my work with dogs and their families, I hope that I can bring a little of the instinctual aspect back to a country that has given me so much – a country that allowed me to be born again, to dream again, and to see my dreams become reality.

It’s a beautiful feeling to be acknowledged here for the work I have done with dogs and in the community. I really feel as though America has adopted me as one of its own because of what I have done for one of their own: the dog.

Stay calm and assertive!

Ask the Vet: Keeping Dogs Safe in the Heat

Ask the Vet Dear Dr. Weaver,

Please address keeping dogs cool in summer. We live in Phoenix and see people leaving dogs in cars and dragging them out into 100 plus heat for hikes. Dogs literally drop dead. These are people who love their pets and just need education. Please help! Please offer advice … to teach people to take it easy on animals in the heat. This would be a huge service to dogs.

Thank you,

Ashley Sherinian

The summer is a great time to talk about overheating. All over the country and year-round, dogs are put in situations that are not safe...

Cesar's Co-Stars: Profiles of Pack Members - Curly

DPC Pack



Big Brothers, Big Sisters of the Dog Psychology Center.



Sometimes, the key to rehabilitation can be as simple as having an encouraging role model. At a youthfully exuberant 4 years old, Curly the mixed Greyhound Labrador gave Dog Psychology Center employees and volunteers a literal run for their money when he arrived at the end of December, 2006. These days he can be found putting himself to work as a deputy counselor and setting a positive…

"Thanks for making the live webinar available... I would love to travel and see Cesar in person, but we know this is not always possible; this is definitely the next best thing... Thanks again!!"

"As always Cesar provides valuable information. My favorite part was Cesar's live demonstration of creating & controlling excitement with the dogs... THANKS!"

"You help dogs and at the same time people. Your webinar was the fastest 45 minutes of my life."

10 Tips for Traveling with Your Dog

Travel Tips
Don't forget to book your travel plans on MillanFoundationTravel.com. A portion of the sale will be donated to the Millan Foundation in support of the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of abused and abandoned dogs.

  • Prepare. Don't make it a last minute "pack-and-let's-go." Your dog will sense your anxiety and tension. Be ready days in advance, so that your dog has a normal experience before he has to get in the car or on the plane.
  • Don't feed your dog for at least 6 hours before plane travel. Some people recommend 8 or even a full 24 hours. However, make sure your dog has a normal experience before he has...

Just a note of thank you. I am Yosef, a well-known scrimshaw artist (if I do say so myself!) I was informed last January that I would have to go in for open heart surgery. Of course, this is never good news.

I enjoy watching your shows. Being an artist myself, I see a lot of art in what you do. I decided to take your advice and be calm and...
