    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

    For anybody interested in dogs and proper interaction with them, this show is a definite treat.Cesar Millan is a very balanced, friendly and positive person who, even in cases where the sheer incompetence or ignorance of the owner are the only thing standing in the way of the dog behaving correctly, never loses his cool composure and always seems to find just the right way to help both the dogs as well as their humans.Cesar has a profound understanding of dog behavior and psychology and he puts it to excellent use in this entertaining show; at some few times he might come across as a little condescending, but it is my belief that it is nearly impossible not to come off condescending if you simply know that much more about something than the person you're trying to explain it to, so don't hold that against him...It's also fun to see over the course of the series, that even a person as knowledgeable as Cesar can always learn something new or how to improve an existing system.So if you're a dog person, you should definitely give this show a try.

    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!

    Cesar Millan may not be a veterinarian, but he deserves credit for persistence and caring for animals. TV, especially reality TV- need not treat itself so seriously. This show for example, is preferable to the reality shows currently served up by network media.Millan actually has a website, and helps people who have dog problems. It is entertaining, and anyone who has visited a kill shelter lately, seeing all the puppies who are abandoned due to peoples ignorance, will appreciate his efforts.I congratulate him for his show, and his ongoing work with difficult dogs. Highly recommended for any animal lovers. 9/10.

    This review is for all the maladjusted and acting out dogs. Woof ... woof ... woof, woof ... grrrrr ... arf, arf, arf ... grrrrr ... arf!! arf!! ... woof! ... arf! ... woof, woof, woof ... arf, woof, growl ... growl, arf, woof ... woof, growl, arf!!!What do you do when your dog seems to be mentally disturbed? Call Cesar Millan. Now, although this show is intriguing, Mr. Millan, or is it Doctor Millan (is he a veterinarian?) takes on problem dogs that seem to be temperamental but not particularly vicious. It seems that all of the dogs on this show that are "treated" are spoiled by owners who are unwilling to make the effort to place limits on the behavior of their pets. So the problem isn't the dog, it's the people who own the dogs. After all, a dog is ... a dog, and given the chance, a dog will act like a dog. What else is new? Indeed, there's one episode in which the dog is given food and then starts snarling every time someone approaches the bowl. Well, if you were a dog, and someone approached your bowl while you were eating, wouldn't you snarl too? And then there's the episode about the dog that couldn't stop walking. Frankly, who cares?2 out of 60 readers found my comments useful? Okay. Let's reexamine the pros and cons of this television show. On the pro side, the show is entertaining and the dog-whisperer is a friendly and engaging character who really seems to care about the dogs he is trying to help. Now on the con side, the show suggests that dogs should behave like human beings and these expectations are not only unfair to the dogs, which are not human beings, but generate unrealistic expectations among their human owners who are confused and made to feel inadequate. Dogs are wonderful creatures. Their relationship with man extends back to antiquity. Their place in history is profound. They are man's closest animal companions. But for goodness sake, let's not forget that dogs are animals and not facsimiles of human beings and should be respected and admired for those qualities that make them so special.A dog is a dog.
