Impressions on Nat Geo's Dog Whisperer

First I wanna say I love watching Cesar, even though my dog has passed on. It was my familiarity with natural horsemanship that got me hooked on Cesar in the first place, the principles being so similar. Before ever hearing about Cesar, I used to practice a sort of driving game using zone 3 with my dog or bringing my energy up or down to get my dog to respond appropriately. It worked! I haven't tried driving the cat though.

Second, It was just awesome, and the commentary was great explaining Pat's techiques to the general audience. I was kind of worried about people tuning in and thinking, "whatsup with that guy, whacking that poor little pony with the orange stick like that?" Anybody else? And what about that Cupcake? wasn't she just too adorable?

And last, I've gotten choked up watching the Dog Whisperer before, but when Pat mentioned Caton I totally lost it. You could see Pat get genuinely emotional describing his son, given the context of the environment, and that he and Cesar would be able to help the center and the animals involved was I'm sure, very meaningful to him. I hope everyone that wants to gets a chance to see this--maybe Nat'l Geo could run it on their site or Cesar's site to promote "The Dog Whisperer" in general--or maybe as a lead in to a new show: The Cat Whisperer.
