I love the Dog Whisperer. I have a 7 month old puppy and he really responds to the techniques on the show. Cesar does a service by reminding people that dogs are not human. I'm hoping to prevent behavioral issues before they begin.

Reminds me of the origin of the band name Less than Jake. The parents of one of the band members had a dog named Jake. The parents would go out to a nice dinner (not bringing their son) and return with leftovers and feed them to Jake; their son was "Less than Jake." :)

My dogs (usually) walk behind me, but only since I've discovered zee Dog Wheeesperer-er. The end of the article--Cesar pointing out that Lori puts the dog ahead of her son--is a very raw, and IMHO accurate critique of where American culture is right now.

As much controversy as Cesar drums up, I agree with his point that too many owners let their animals run roughshod over them. Get that damn mutt under control instead of behaving like a subservient chicken. (This coming from a man who sleeps with his head off the pillow because the cat makes its way up there in the middle of the night)

The South Park episode was absolutely brilliant. I just had to say that. Enjoy the seemingly good weather.

Shirley, I'd love to explore your deep rooted issues over a a couple of magarita. I'll show you a dog that's in control.
