Cesar is THE MAN when it comes to understanding dogs.
The “D-Word”? These people have a serious mental disorder. I love dogs, but not wanting to call a dog a dog?
I personally take that as an insult to all DEVIL DOGS & DOG FACED SOLDIERS everywhere!!!
Dog is my co-pilot.

Cesar is a dog trainer who is famous because he trained Will Smith’s wife’s dogs, and other Hollywood liberals’ pets. Sorry, but there are other people you’ll never hear of who know just as much if not far more about what goes on inside the head of a dog.
Google “Captain Arthur Haggerty” for starters, then “Dr Ian Dunbar”.

I call my precious, darling wittle Yorkie “dog-lette” all the time, although her real name is Lydia. What is the problem? These creature are dogs. They are not ashamed of being dogs. They are proud to be dogs. They do not feel put upon if you point out to them regularly that they are dogs who eat dog food and sleep on their own dog wittle blankies on Mama’s bed, and that they need to follow the wules. In fact, they are happier if they are required to follow the wules. Ahem.
Actually, I think he overdoes it. He says you shouldn’t own a dog unless you will walk him a MINIMUM of 1.5 hours every day. By that standard, none of my many well-loved and much exercised dogs would have been happy or obedient.
I prefer the New Monks books on dog training.
