I watch this show a lot. I watch the episodes On Demand through my digital cable box. I have seen an episode on Jack Russell terriers, I believe. I called it "The War on Terrier."
Cesar's methods (or black magic) are entertaining to watch, but his shtick is impossible for just anyone to replicate. He obviously gives off some sort of personality vibe -- possibly a smell -- that signals dominance to dogs. If most of the rest of us tried to do what he does, we'd get our faces bitten off.
The one angle I don't like with Cesar is the psychosexual angle he bases everything on: training a dog becomes a psychotherapy session with the owner, the underlying premise being that the owner's own hangups are "creating" the behavioral problem in the dog.
Now, this might be true
some of the time; but sometimes the dog is just fecked up!
