My comments on Reader's Digest article "50 Secrets Your Vet Won't Tell You"
"Yes, dog whisperer Cesar Milan has turned some aggressive dogs around, but-please-don't train your dog that way. Using aggressive tactics can cause serious behavior problems and may not be effective."
Vets have been complaining about Mr. Milan's training tactics for years. He tends to use aggressive techniques that are largely considered outdated, and frequently dangerous. There are many more really good trainers who use positive reinforcement for as good or better results. For great information, check out Dr. Sophia Yin, a veterinary behaviorist, who not only consults as a vet and has written professional texts, but who has published some really helpful books for pet owners, as well.
