Hello Tammy! :)   Thnk you for a warm welcome! :) I guess we have a lot in common! :) Dogs are amazing...there's so much that I could say about my fuzzy girl, but I thought that I'd just show you this:     Shakti's sharing some affection with a fellow K9 that I fostered and trained (a Boxer mix that already found a great ...

You didn't provide specific scenarios, which makes it harder to offer specific details, so I'm going to offer some general advice here. Puppies need leadership and guidance the ENTIRE time they are developing. There is no better time then to instill the rules, boundaries and limitations then right NOW! Cesar's NEW BOOK: A member of the family ...

First, a 14 week puppy probably should NOT be walking that long of distances, in my opinion. This type of physical exercise can be hard on the developmental of your dog. Short, more frequent walks, would be better. She also is very young to be on a leash performing as much as you would like her to. This age needs a ton of guidance. Perhaps work ...

''Jobs'' in my opinion are things that stimulate both the mental and physical of the dog. It sounds like your dog needs mental stimulation. When you are playing ''chuck it'' for example, do you make her sit before you throw it? There are many ways to stimulate your dog's mind even in play. Agility is definitely a great option, however, simple ...

Hank, Try adding a meal a little later in the evening, around 8:00 ish. Make sure you take him out before bedtime. And try and nighttime walk as well. At 3 months old he may still need 3 meals a day. This does NOT mean increase the amount you feed him, just the times. Some puppies require more feedings then twice daily. I would not allow him to ...

Chansen, It's difficult to thoroughly assess Whisker's behavior  without reading his body language. How is his tail when he's barking? Is he jumping up and down, spinning circles, or otherwise excited, or is he standing still and barking? My first reaction is to say it's anxiety, but without a little more information, it's hard to say ...

Tammy, Thank you for your direction. Would hate to see people miss a chance to speak with Cesar Millan.

It's important to remember that different countries have different problems. In the U.S. we have a HUGE overpopulation problem, stemming mainly from irresponsible breeding and pet ownership...period! The hobby/backyard/puppy mill epidemic, unfortunately is growing rather then diminuishing here in the states. Some states have toughened their ...

Charjen, What is the dog doing when she's eating rocks? Is she tied up? Has she gone for a walk? Is she tired from her walk? Eating rocks, digging, are all signs of boredom. My first guess for this would be that your dog is not getting enough exercise. While dogs LOVE outside, they need a PACK to be there. Your dog should be outside with you! ...

Whew! I am on cloud nine tonight.....Lily, one of my fosters and the success story on Cesar's May 2008 Newletter has finally achieved balance. Indigo..... her sister, responded to Cesar's methods more quickly, but Lil was more of the unsocialized one, was a mess. If you read their story, I knew she would come around...but ...
