Brian Meloche's Blog I'll blog about ColdFusion, weight loss, podcasting and life with too many pets! :-)

Buster, our Boxer/Pitbull mix, is difficult to walk on a leash, but we're trying some new techniques we've picked up watching The Dog Whisperer on National Geographic Channel. Buster's walking on a leash needs a lot more work, but he's already improved a lot.

Cesar Millan, who hosts The Dog Whisperer, has become an inspiration to my wife and I. He's coming to Columbus next month, and we're going to see him. I can't wait! We've learned so much by watching his show. He teaches us that bad dog behavior is most often the fault of the behavior of the owner. Just by watching him and following his techniques, our dogs are better behaved. His techniques also teach you something about yourself, and not just about the dogs you are training. The importance of being a  calm, assertive  in your interactions with dogs also teaches you how it changes how you feel about yourself and gives you greater control of your surroundings. It's remarkable!
