An interesting look at the Dog Whisperer from different perspectives.

Like how he's being sued for causing permanent damage to one client's dog by forcing him on a treadmill. I read Cesar's book and was completely unimpressed. The only good piece of advice I got out of it was to not let a dog enter/exit a door before you. I've been making Sampson wait until I go in/out the door to the outside and it's working well.
