I had the blessing to be able to rescue a Lab/Dane mix puppy from dehydration and starvation. Knowing that, if he survived the neglect, he would soon grow to immense proportions, I have used Cesar's methods from day one. I am happy to say that, first of all, Scooby is a happy and healthy 7 month old puppy (80 lbs at recent weigh in!) More important is that he is a balanced and joyous member of our family. He rides in the car, swims in the pool, runs alongside our bikes and walks like a champ on the treadmill. He is still a puppy so new challenges arise as he grows but they are each handled to the best of my ability applying Cesar's ways. I am so thankful for the knowledge imparted by Cesar who is a true hero to dogs and their humans. To his detractors I say it is the height of human arrogance to assume that only their "training methods" are better. In its purest state, the dog is happiest if it has  a strong leader, the ability to work for its food and finally, the "affection" of its fellow pack members. Humans have "domesticated" the dog for their own amusement and service. The employment of collars, leashes, prepared food etc is of itself, a denial of the dogs true nature. What Cesar does is enable the dog to interact with humans in a way that most simulates their natural state that we have, in effect, taken away from them for our own pleasure. That said, the responsible dog owner can enrich the lives of their dogs in a way that would never occur in nature. Thanks  to Cesar, we can do this in a mutually satisfying way. I have raised many dogs over the years but this dog, raised with the application of Cesar's dog psychology, has been the best behaved, most enjoyed and happiest experience of my life. Thank you Cesar! What can we do to bring you to the central Fl area??
