It is my understanding that Cesar is invited into the home by the owners. Can you imagine all of a sudden opening your front door and having Cesar Milan barge in and start "fixing" what he thought was a problem with your dog? Since dogs react to the subtle signals their owners send out, wouldn't they get the sense of relief that the owners are feeling that someone is coming to "solve their problems"? If they (the dogs) have been living with a feeling of constant tension from the owners and someone comes in without that aura for lack of a better word, wouldn't the dogs pick up and respond to that? The show is only an hour long and there is no way to show everything that happened but a lack of fear goes a long way in handling animals. It seems as though he does have a certain connection to dogs - I truly enjoy his show.

It's so good to know I'm in the company of others who cry when they see a dog set free, sometimes for the first time in their lives, like the coonhound. When you see the look in the dogs' eyes after they have been freed, one can't help but cry. I loved the part where Cesar got the hound to track. Dogs are so great, he took to it like a duck to water. That show makes me cry a lot. There's something about a dog that is free that makes my heart sing. Their eyes lose the haze and get clear and relaxed and you can see into their soul. I would wish that for all dogs. May we all keep our dogs free.

These PPD are trained to even withstand being hit. I would think that for the most part, a PPD would stick to his training and take his cues from his handler over Ceaser. And also remember that anyone that has personally trained a good PPD is probably a pack leader him/herself.
It's an interesting idea though. Most PPD wouldn't encounter a bad guy with the confidence of Ceaser. They're usually pretty jumpy, so it'd be intesting to see if this is a loophole.
I think Cesear is fantastic. What amazes me more than anything is his ability to stay calm, even when being bitten. It's a natural, physical response to be flooded with adrenelin and become anything but "calm and assertive" when being attacked. And it's this quality above all others that I think makes him so successful. Of course, his gift of reading body language is incredible. I love it when he pantomimes a dog...it looks so real!

Absolutely! It would be awful hard for cesar to make a hard dog sent on him to back down with his calm assertive techniqes.
I don't think that is what Adam asked in his original post, though. I think he was asking if dog psychology was different for a PPD than a pet dog. A dog is still a dog, isn't it?

He always seems to be doing rehab on Dominant type dogs (or dogs that have no obedience training at all??) Well he comes in the room with the dog, un-introduced and just takes them over like he is the new owner??
Would these techniques work on a dog that has been trained as a protection dog?? Doesn't seem to be likely?
