I have said before that Cesar is good trainer. He has a difficult job - trying to explain how to solve these dog problems in 10 to 12 minutes is about impossible. The show usually features 2 dogs per show and after you subtract commercial time there is just not much time left. I am sure that frustrates him.
Ceasr knows the dog problems (usually pack drive issues) and is great with people. The problem is when you look in the eyes of the people who own these dogs in the show you know "THEY DONT GET IT". There is nothing Cesar can do about that.
I am right in the middle of editing my DVD "Dealing with DOMINAT DOGS". I am killing myself trying to figure out how to get what needs to be said on one DVD. It's driving me crazy.

Man.............that'll take some master editing, I'll bet! BIG subject!
Just wanted to say that I will be looking forward to getting that DVD. Like the new Theory of Corrections article, that video will fill a long-empty hole in my resource collection.
P.S. I've learned to watch instructional DVDs (for me, that means dog-related!) on my computer instead of the TV. For me, sitting right there up close, no living room chit-chat, all the rewind and pause I need -- took me a long time to figure it out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />, but I get a lot more out of each viewing that way.
I second Connie, I can't wait for this DVD and I have no doubt it will be a great.
If you packaged some of your basic training videos into a holiday collection. I bet they would sell like hot cakes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well Ed, I certainly can't wait for the DVD....but, I don't want you to do yourself in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />!!!! I know you'll do a great job!

I'd love to see a DVD depicting various dog behaviors and dissecting why that's happening, what drives they involve, and how to deal with them. Not the basic stuff either, but really advanced topics. Anyway, I think your dominant dog dvd should be dominant dog dvdS! I'm sure no one would complain about two or three dvds loaded with dominant dog-dealing goodness <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Any chance Santa will be able to deliver these this year? Kinda sounds more like it'll be an '06 release, tho.

I seem to remember someone saying that a walk should not be in heel the whole time because it is supposed to be a leisure activity for the dog - not an obedience exercise."
I have had similar problems and picked up something from Cesar that has helped. Watch your dog and when you see he begins to alert to the other people/dogs - ears forward, posture change, etc. - give a tiny leash pop, a fingersnap, a "psst", tap on the neck or butt or something like that to break his focus on what's coming toward him and direct it back to you. He needs to learn to ignore those distractions and breaking his focus will help get there. I still get instances where mine gets "in the zone" and is 100% focused on a dog, but she's getting better. I consider her walk to be a structured "leisure activity" in the sense that I'll decide on a reasonable number of places where/when she can stop, sniff and pee, and the rest of the time, it's keep walking ! The walks may not be a true "obedience exercise," but she's learning who's the boss.
I have been working on collecting footage for DVD for a couple of years now. In fact last night I found footage from a police K9 seminar I sponsored here in WI in 1999 - Kevin and I were testing a young male I got back when he got stemmed from the prong - A great EXAMPLE OF REDIRECTED AGGRESSION AND footage of him trying to eat my FACE AND CHEST - a very close call that all my buddies at the seminar thought very funny.
My guess is it will a couple more weeks of editing - there is 120minutes finished right now and I have not even started "living with a dominant dog" yet.
I made the mistake of putting this DVD in this years catalog. I will cut off both arms and one leg before I EVER DO THat AGAIN.
I will announce it being finished on the table of contents of the site.
I agree that there may be rrom for more than one DVD - I first have to get past the first one.
