I am another who stumbled upon this show while flipping through channels. It's been a breath of fresh air. Every single issue my own dogs are having have been in episodes on the Dog Whisperer. Cesar is a genius! To the person who posted that dogs are dogs. Where you get your idea that this show promotes people to treat their dogs like human beings I'll never figure out. You've obviously misunderstood the message that Cesar tries to instill in viewers. If you have a dog, and you don't take the role of pack leader, your dog will naturally and instinct-fully take it instead. No wonder only 2 out of 27 users found your comment helpful. It wasn't!
