Ok well I have read all the posts on this (not the links yet) and I liked a lot of what Connie and Mara said...
Fact is some people are going to like him and others are not. I do agree with some of his ways and it has finally made it so I can walk Zuki without feeling irritated the whole time (for pulling/Challenging me the whole time) and address some of her severe whining/complaining. I would have to say there are things I don't agree with on leerburg too but the good outweighs the bad, same with Cesar. I would love to meet him some day as I would Ed or Michel.
Since watching some of Cesar's shows I learned a few things that I was close to but not quite accomplishing. I am not and never have been afraid of my dogs so using Cesar's way when it is/was needed is not an issue.
I read and found that link from Columbia? funny as well. Some people just take offence at that type of thing...
As Connie said Cesar is a behaviorist not a trainer. If anything he teaches leadership skills and how to read dogs.
Without leadership and understanding dog behavior training is just going through a bunch of mechanical motions you saw/heard someone else do.
I like most of what he does.

Oh the humanity......not.
For aggression, I thought he went easy.
Thats as hard as I kick Turbo when he attacks my socks every night. Yes, when we are playing a game.
lol, I agree with you as that "kick" wouldn't even make my Hobbes flinch except to look at me with his "what do you want" look.
I have seen him do that a zillion times. Standing on one foot (balancing) and using the other foot, behind the standing leg, to touch the dog. Try it. If you actually meant to kick a dog, is that how you'd do it?
I have to admit that I have done this. It makes for a surprise "snap out of what you are doing" attention getter, because I haven't telegraphed my movement with body language.
I'd fall over if it was anything more than a quick touch.
I guess someone more agile than I am could actually kick the dog that way. But that's not what I see.
JMO!
The mistakes I have seen him make were virtually all about using tools the owner had. None have been about his personal hands or any other part of his body on the dog. Again JMO.
