NGC_Chat_Host: Welcome everyone! The live chat with Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan will begin in a minute or two. Please send in your questions now by typing them below and then clicking 'Ask'. We'll get to as many questions as we can. =)
Cesar_Millan: Hi everyone. Thanks so much for participating in our online chat. We have a lot of people joining us tonight so I will try to answer as many questions as I can. Let's get started!
wVirginia: Hi Cesar - Are there certain breeds of dogs that are easier to train than others? Thank you!
Cesar_Millan: Well, in my experience it's not so much the breed that makes the training any easier, it's the level of energy the dogs are born with. Low and middle-energy dogs are going to be easier to condition because they are born to be followers, and high and very high energy level dogs are going to require a more experienced human being becasue those dogs are more likely born to be leaders.
NGC_Chat_Host: To ask Cesar a question, type it below and then click ASK. He'll answer as many as he can. Thanks. =)
DWFanLady: Hi Cesar, what did you think of the South Park episode that featured you as a character? Did you think it was funny?
Cesar_Millan: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It was hilarious! I loved it!
Skillet: What's your thoughts on people that dress up their pets?
Cesar_Millan: As long as you walk the dog before you dress the dog up, there's nothing wrong with that. If the dog has no coat and the weather is not in his favor, I can totally see the need of putting a coat on him.
NGC_Chat_Host: Welcome everyone! The live chat with Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan is underway! Please send in your questions now by typing them below and then clicking 'Ask'. We'll get to as many questions as we can. =)
indigirl1: Cesar: What do you recommend when one person follows the plan and the other family members don't follow the plan?
Cesar_Millan: Well, I think that's when conversation is important. Everybody has to be on the same level for the benefit of the dog. The goal is to have a balanced dog, and everybody plays a roll in keeping him balanced. The family should sit down at the table and say, Look we're going to have a dog that needs exercise, discipline and affection. Otherwise the human should have a consequence. I leave it up for you.
NGC_Chat_Host: To ask Cesar a question, type it below and then click "ASK". He'll answer as many as he can. Thanks. =)
Bethany: With a dog who had a history of aggression, how do you know he will be safe around babies? We are thinking about starting a family but don't know how to 'prepare' the dog Thanks
Cesar_Millan: Well, you definitely have to consult a professional. Babies and dogs can only be together if they're both balanced. There was an episode on Dog Whisperer #2 where we address that. The dog's name was Cosmo. It's important that you don't address this on your own and a professional gives you a strategy to follow.
NGC_Chat_Host: To ask Cesar a question, type it below and then click "ASK". He'll answer as many as he can. Thanks. =)
nsweet: What is the best way to teach my puppy to come?
Cesar_Millan: You have to learn about motivation, and what motivates your puppy. Before we ask the dog what he wants, we have to ask what he needs, to create that ripple effect. That means you have to learn to fulfill their needs so they can automaticaly fulfill your needs. I encourage you to learn about dog psychology.
NGC_Chat_Host: Welcome everyone! The live chat with Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan is underway! Please send in your questions now by typing them below and then clicking 'Ask'. We'll get to as many questions as we can. =)
dmm825: Our dog is an adult dog. He never had any accidents on the carpet as a puppy, but now is having accidents whenever we leave the house. Why would this start all of a sudden and what can we do to stop the situation?
Cesar_Millan: If the dog is older it might be a bladder problem, and that is a medical question. It could also be pyschological. If it's psychological, that means they're marking. Those are the two reasons a dog will pee after he's been great.
Wiegman: How do you take dogs on "off-leash" walks in the woods?
Cesar_Millan: This is the way I do it! What I do to transfer the dog from on leash to off leash is first I make sure he listens on leash, then, when he's in the zone I drop the leash on the floor. Once he's in the tired state I take the leash off. By the end of the walk he's off leash. The next day I do the same, until I take the leash off before he goes into a tired state. So timing and knowledge are extremely important to send thme back in their natural way of traveling.
Ascott: What are your thoughts on electric collars? And how true is it that you Can't teach an old dog new tricks, how old is too old?
Cesar_Millan: Before any tool, there has to be a bond between the human and dog -- regardless of the dog, whether it's a choke collar, electric collar, a gentle leader or a leash. It's important to develop trust from our dogs before we put tools on them. That's my take on this. You can learn a lot on this from a DVD called "People Training for Dogs," available on my Website, www.cesarmillaninc.com, to create the trust and respect.
Cesar_Millan: And my answer to the second question -- It doesn't matter how old the dog is, they always want to go back to balance. It's my belief that it's never too late.
Lisa: why is it ok for the dog to be ahead pulling if you are on wheels vs feet?
Cesar_Millan: Because that's their job ... You're utilizing their energy. Example: Sled dogs are pulling, but the musher is in control.
Portia: When a storm is coming, our 19 month old lab that I have had for three months)shakes, pants and will not go out to potty..she even got frightened when a bird hit the window the other night. What can I do?
Cesar_Millan: Sometimes it's good to babysit a stable, adult dog at times like this. Because dogs, sometimes they don't take cues from us as well as they do from other dogs, especially at that age. But, if you don't have the option of babysitting a balanced dog, redirect their attention into something more constructive. Do not share negative energy at that moment.
skindred: How can I stop my 3 year old chocolate lab from incessant licking?
Cesar_Millan: He's fixated. Everytime I hear that a dog doesn't have limits it makes sense to me to give him limits. Obsession is a mind that has no limits.
samwright23: How do you deal with dogs with low self esteem?
Cesar_Millan: Well, for dogs with low self esteem I create activities. For example, going over an obstacle, walking through areas that might make him nervous, joining people who have dogs that are balanced in a walk, so he can be part of a pack with balance. That makes him have better self esteem. Do not nurture or feel bad for him having low self esteem.
Will: Cesar, My 4 year old addopted Golden Retriever Dixie isvery afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Any tips on helping her?
Cesar_Millan: If the dog runs away from the vaccum, I would feed him more often next to the vaccum while it is not on. But if a dog is angry-aggresive, then I invite you to watch Monday's episode on Dog Whisperer Week on the National Geographic Channel. There are two Yorkies with a similar issue on this episode.
CF: Hi Cesar, You are such an inspiration! Thank you for what you do. I am 46 and seriously considering getting into dog training. Am I too old to start, and can I support my family doing it? Thank you.
Cesar_Millan: You're never to old to work with animals! They need human beings like you, and it's up to you how much you want in life. Thanks for seeing me as an inspiration!
NGC_Chat_Host: To ask Cesar a question, type it below and then click "ASK". He'll answer as many as he can. Thanks. =)
Norcam: I have 2 min pinchers, one is 5 and the other is 6 months and they eat each others stool, please help its sick.
Cesar_Millan: There's a medical reason for it. The dogs are lacking some kind of vitamins or minerals ... the doctor can advise you on that. Or it can be from boredom. When they don't have much to do, poop has food inside, and they feel like they're discovering the food.
Star_s_owner: HI Cesar, I know that when older dogs jump on you it's a form of dominance. What about a 3 month old puppy. And how can I stop her from doing it. Thank you
Cesar_Millan: In a litter of puppies you're going to have dominant puppies, and what they do is jump on the other littermates. The choices you have are to block or ignore the behavior. You have to make that judgement, since I can't see the puppy.
mia: hi cesar, I have an older pitbull and I have problems removing foxtails from his paws. Since I've been praticing your methods i've come a long way but he still struggles and puts up a fight, do you have any suggestion?
Cesar_Millan: Make sure you're always safe. a lot of times when you're taking away a fox tail they're in a lot of pain. You can ask the help of another person to hold his head. Don't try to take all the fox tails at once. Take one, then give him a massage, then take one and give him a massage, so you make it a positive experience for him. But teamwork is a great answer to a situation like the one you have. There's also an episode Pups on Parole that deals with this.
Star_s_owner: When a puppy is biting on the neck of an older dog is that a sign of dominance?
Cesar_Millan: Depends, we have to read the energy. They target the same area for play or dominance. They're looking for stimulation, so what we need to do is, if the dog is not stopping the puppy we have to do it for them, because the puppy is using dominant energy.
NGC_Chat_Host: To ask Cesar a question, type it below and then click "ASK". He'll answer as many as he can. Thanks. =)
Lab_1: Hi Cesar. HELP!! Our 4 month old Labrador is becoming very aggressive. He will be okay one second and the other he begins to snarl and lunge at us and bite. He is doing this more and more. Today he did it after playing ball in the pool. Why is he becoming so frightening?
Cesar_Millan: My take on that is don't worry about why, go back to basics.
Dixie77: Hi!I have a question regarding my dog champ,He barks at anyone,even me when they go up the stairs.can you help?
Cesar_Millan: Yes, I can help by suggesting that you closely watch the show, read the book, and then watch the show again. The answer is very simple, you must claim the stairs. It's a ritual. The dog is barking to let you know that's his stairs. Including the owner, so nobody is really the pack leader in your house.
horsecrazy816: I have a 3-year-old Border Collie/German Sheperd mix that tries to attack our Cocker Spaniel when we get in the car. What can I do?
Cesar_Millan: These are the options: Option One -- exercise the Collie/Shephard mix by himself before you put him in the car with the Cocker Spaniel. Then, make sure the Cocker Spaniel is standing in the car first, and using a leash, bring the Collie inside the car and tell him to lie down. Give him something to do in order for him to stop attacking the Cocker Spaniel. This is a good case to practice dog training in the car the commands Down, Stay. This way you make him the submissive one in the car. Always consult a professional doing this.
Jimmy: Hi, Cesar. Thank you for being online! I hope you will be online more often. I am a person from Quebec City, Canada, and I want to know: If I have the fear of being bitten while I try to put my mom's dog outside of the excitement stage while the dog is barking -. Does this dog feel the fear and will bite me? I think that the energy I send when correcting this dog's problem is nervousness and fear of being bitten.
Cesar_Millan: 99% of the time they will bite you, and that 1% is still luck. And I will do my best to be online more often. I'm doing a show in Season Three, staring in October, similar to this case, about a human who is terrified of dogs, and my goal is to help him to get the fear to dissapear.
Isa-Ro-La: Cesar, besides the exercise, discipline and then affection routine for our dogs, do you have additional advise for us owners of dogs that suffer seizures? Thanks!
Cesar_Millan: Acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, swimming, anything that involves relaxation.
K2: Hi Cesar, I'm your biggest fan & always on the BLOG! My dogs are cat aggressive to cats not part of our pack *usually outdoors) I try body-blocking & blocking their view of the cat, and being calm assertive. What else do you suggest?
Cesar_Millan: I strongly suggest you watch over and over the episode I did with the dog named Buddy, called Animal Killer, airing Monday night. Sometimes it's good to watch an episode over and over until it becomes part of your strategy.
Tom: We were at your columbus seminar last week and asked about dog fighting in our home with our doberman and german shephand. you were explaining how to use a muzzle. can you explain how to put them together again?
Cesar_Millan: I hope that there's a professional in your area that has some knowledge in aggression, it's very important, so he can guide you guys to a successful moment.
Barngodess: I have 4 dogs, should I discipline one when he shows dominance over one of the other dogs ?
Cesar_Millan: Depends -- this is what might happen. When a dog is practicing dominance over another dog he can also spread his dominance to the other dogs, so the rules at the center is more, whoever is in a dominant state is going to be disciplined. Even if he didn't start the fight or the dominance. But if it's only one in a dominant state, then that's the only one who recieves dominance.
Bodieboy: I use a cane on short walks but how do I get my 5 mo old Lab Retreiver to stop pulling the walker on longer walks with him?
Cesar_Millan: This is when you hire a professional, a dog trainer that can condition him for the dog to go and walk with you. A trainer will be very helpful to you. Let the trainer know what your goal is.
molly: I have a four month old female german shepherd, who when walking on a leash lunges and barks at other dogs. Do you have a suggestion on how to stop this behavior. Thank you.
Cesar_Millan: Since your dog is still a pup, she will benefit tremendously from day care centers. She needs the interaction of her own kind. She's showing signs of antisocial behavior, that means we have to do social behavior. You are in a perfect time of her life to make it happen. Hope you do it.
dmm825: Our dog is very possessive when it comes to taking our objects. However, you can take his food or objects away from him without any problem. What can we do to change this behavior?
Cesar_Millan: Redirect him with another object, or change it with food. Eventually you have to learn to do what he is doing to you. If you claim everything in the house to the point that he doesn't own anything, then you share with him. There's an episode Sunday night called Drop it, Sugar, that will give you an idea.
NGC_Chat_Host: Unfortunately, our time with Cesar is up. Cesar thanks so much for being here tonight. Do you have any final comments for all of the Dog Whisperer fans out there?
Cesar_Millan: Thanks for joining everyone. Sorry I couldn't answer all of your questions. Don't miss Dog Whisperer Week starting on Sunday and of course season 1 and my book "Cesar's Way" are in stores now. Take care and remember to always be a calm assertive pack leader!
NGC_Chat_Host: Thanks for joining us everyone!!!!! Goodnight!

Bodieboy: I use a cane on short walks but how do I get my 5 mo old Lab Retreiver to stop pulling the walker on longer walks with him?
Cesar_Millan: This is when you hire a professional, a dog trainer that can condition him for the dog to go and walk with you. A trainer will be very helpful to you. Let the trainer know what your goal is.
molly: I have a four month old female german shepherd, who when walking on a leash lunges and barks at other dogs. Do you have a suggestion on how to stop this behavior. Thank you.
Cesar_Millan: Since your dog is still a pup, she will benefit tremendously from day care centers. She needs the interaction of her own kind. She's showing signs of antisocial behavior, that means we have to do social behavior. You are in a perfect time of her life to make it happen. Hope you do it.
dmm825: Our dog is very possessive when it comes to taking our objects. However, you can take his food or objects away from him without any problem. What can we do to change this behavior?
Cesar_Millan: Redirect him with another object, or change it with food. Eventually you have to learn to do what he is doing to you. If you claim everything in the house to the point that he doesn't own anything, then you share with him. There's an episode Sunday night called Drop it, Sugar, that will give you an idea.
NGC_Chat_Host: Unfortunately, our time with Cesar is up. Cesar thanks so much for being here tonight. Do you have any final comments for all of the Dog Whisperer fans out there?
