I'm a Dog Whisperer fan

A picture named pupInPot.jpgI just started watching The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel a few weeks ago, and I'm hooked. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
I really like the way the star, Cesar Millan, explains stuff. He shoots straight, with love. You can't be politically correct and get a dog to behave.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
And he never misleads the owners, they have to change in order for the dog to change. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Dogs are very simple, they can't just be your friend. The dog's world is hierarchic. Someone is the boss. If you're not the boss, he or she is. Every pack has a leader. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Watching the show I wish I had a dog so I could try out his ideas. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
I also wish news shows were like this, get to the real story, find a solution to the problem.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Maybe he'll run for Governor of California. I'd vote for him. ";->" Permanent link to this item in the archive.
Sue Polinsky loves the Dog Whisperer too. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
