Victoria Stilwell and Cesar Millan.

edited August 2008 in General Discussion
<span style="font-size:92">They are both very good at doing what they do, Victoria is a dog trainer and Cesar is a dog rehabilitator. <br><br>Victoria uses positive reinforcement to teach dogs and she also uses body language. Like if a dog jumps on her, she turns her body, crosses her arms, and then walks away. <br><br>Cesar, treats the dogs like an actual wolf pack. So when the dog is aggressive or out of hand, he puts it to the ground in a submissive way and waits for the dog to be submissive to him. He also 'bites' the dog with his fingers like a mother or other dog would do to punish another.<br><br>There have been controversies on which is better. <br>I think Victoria's method is the best. But then is Cesar's really as mean as i think it is? Is it actually the way of the pack?</span><br><br>[no arguments please]

    <span style="font-size:92">so was I..and before watching Cesar, i was in love with how wolf pack's work..and so i used some of those techniques on my dogs [before i watched cesar] and it's proven not to work, and i think that my dog is actually afraid of me sometimes when i ask her to do something..or if she is in trouble she just looks terribly frightened. I don't know..maybe it's just me. Maybe humans weren't made to steal the ways of another animal :roll: <br><br>But even since i've tried positive reinforcement..it's proven to work :D<br><br>[i still am a cesar fan though, just more Victoria]</span><br><br>*edit* <br>opps..okay, i meant to say, when i used the pack method thing, it worked..but the dogs seemed more frightened. When i tried Victoria's way it also worked, but the dogs were more happy and always seemed to want to work with me..

  • I idol Cesar. Problem is, it's hard to get his techniques to work on your <span style="font-style:italic">own</span> dog.<br><br>I tried with my neighbor's dog, whom they like me to train from time to time, and she gets exactly the message I'm sending all the time. She's more obedient now.
  • Im a Cesar fan. It says to consult a professional before using any of his methods, some were made for one dog, and not for another. That could be the cause of your problem. <br><br>But, thats my opinion :P
    All good things must come to an end. All endings will begin new good things.

  • I love both of their techniques :D<br><br>Personally though, I'd have to say that Victoria is more of a...habit breaker?<br>I also don't think she has the same take on aggressive dogs that Ceasar does.<br><br>But both are wonderful at what they do :D
