Views on Cesar Millan

Quotes from experts on CM:

"Cesar Millan's methods are based on flooding and punishment. The result, though immediate, will be only transitory. His methods are misguided, outmoded, in some cases dangerous, and often inhumane. You would not want to be a dog under his sphere of influence. The sad thing is that the public does not recognize the error of his ways. My college things it is a travesty. We've written to National Geographic Channel and told them they have put dog training back 20 years."

Dr. Nicolas Dodman - Professor and Head- Section of Animal Behavior
Director of Behavior Clinic, Tufts University  - Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine
 

"Practices such as physically controlling aggressive dogs and using choke collars for fearful dogs are outrageous by even the most diluted dog training standards. A profession that has been making steady gains in its professionalism, technical sophistication and humane standards has been greatly set back. I have long been deeply troubled by the popularity of Mr. Millan as so many will emulate him. To co-opt a word like "whispering" for arcane, violent  and technically unsound practices is unconscionable. "

Jean Donaldson, The San Francisco SPCA-Director of The Academy for Dog Trainers.
