Noted veterinarian and dog trainer Dr. Ian Dunbar offers a few of the "million different ways" to train a dog, outlining three simple strategies. EG is the celebration of the American entertainment industry. Since 1984, Richard Saul Wurman has created extraordinary gatherings about learning and understanding. EG is a rich extension of these ideas - a conference that explores the attitude of understanding in music, film, television, radio, technology, advertising, gaming, interactivity and the web - The Entertainment Gathering Dr. Ian Dunbar is a veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and writer. Dr. Dunbar received his veterinary degree and a Special Honors degree in Physiology & Biochemistry from the Royal Veterinary College (London University) and a doctorate in animal behavior from the Psychology Department at the University of California in Berkeley, where he spent ten years researching olfactory communication, the development of hierarchical social behavior, and aggression in domestic dogs. Dr. Dunbar has written numerous books, including How To Teach A New Dog Old Tricks, the Good Little Dog Book and a series of Behavior Booklets: separate educational booklets on each of the most common pet behavior problems. Additionally, Dunbar has hosted eleven videotapes on puppy/dog behavior and training, including SIRIUS ® Puppy Training, Training Dogs With Dunbar and Every Picture Tells A Story. All his videos have won a variety of awards.
personally i think this guy is a pompas A@#….If you can’t keep a dog close? how do you expect to keep a family together? Whatever!!……if i wanted this, i would have listened to Dr. Phil. He makes all the obvious statements. Pet owners understand what to do. They just decide not to do what has been proven. I wonder how much this guy gets paid for that Cr#%. Sorry

@soxfox – thank you! Nice to read a cogent comment that is not just a boast. Ian’s best help for me is that dog’s good behavior is different from just good training. We live with the behaviors and I for one have benefited from the logic and sequence of which he reminds me to be observant.
Cesar isn’t a dog it’s just his method is different. When you have 30+ really badly behaved dogs to a point they will kill or attack another dog or person that is now very well behaved he’s doing something right.
Every trainer has a different method. Cesar may be more hands on in terms of physical but it ain’t hurting the dog. No point hating when his method does work.
Sorry, gotta disagree. Barkbusters is by far the best. My dogs are NOT motivated by ANYTHING and they aren’t the only ones. I have used everything. I’m sorry to see you are giving advise yet so little knowledge about dogs. Other trainers have NO idea what to do, and either does Dunbar!
@S0XF0X Ceasar is not a dog trainer. He says so himself. He is a self taught, charismatic reality show star. He tries to explain “how a dog thinks”, but he gets it wrong, especially with dominance theory. To his defense, he does get owners to control thier emotions and give direction to thier dogs. This does get the dogs on his (edited, pre selected) show under better control.
@RawFedDog Food is not the only form of reward. Find out what your dog finds motivating -toys, praise? If your dog won’t motivate for anything he has a seriou problem and I would see a behavior expert, not a framchise trainer.
if your dog likes food, but what about dogs that aren’t food motivated at all, these technques do not work!
He’s got some good ideas, read some of his books and watched videos. Found barkbusters works far better! LOVE them.
I can’t help you with the barking but the pulling might be solved by the method i got from zak george. watch?v=vIdeT5S9u4Y. He also might need to be socialized with more dogs in a neutral environment. But I’m new at this so maybe a pro trainer would be more help
It would probably help if you went to a training class and learned some techniques to help your dog. We’re not born knowing how to train dogs, just as dogs aren’t born knowing how to behave politely.
I really really need help. My dog is the sweetest dog in the world. I mean he is playfull with kids, he loves everyone and everything. And he is obedient and walk next to me at all times
But whenever during the walk, if he sees another dog up the street, he will start barking like crazy, and try to pull the leash and stuff to go and start a fighy or someething, I cant do anything about it and at that moment whatever i do, he doesnt listen. Just continues. HELP ME.
Though I do think a lot of what Cesar says shouldn’t just be thrown off as BS, I do agree that he leaves our a lot of great training elements, such as positive reinforcement obedience training, and the like. Cesar mostly works on getting humans to understand how dogs basically see the world, he dehumanizes the dogs, and shows the humans how to fulfill dog’s basic needs. But he doesn’t show how powerful positive reinforcement training is.
Ian saves lives: he saves families and pets. I am so glad Cesar is not on AP anymore. Cesar is a joke; he leaves out critical elements so the viewers drool over him, not helping dogs. Ian calls the humans on their behavior; it’s a learning curve for us, the dogs will be dogs.
WOW crucial video !!!! hold tight the dog training crew !!! big up the doggy massive!!! respect the k9 posse !!!! did any dogs have to be humanely drowned during the making of this video ?

@StopReadingThisXP Try a lose lead and get his attention using a food lure and work on a ‘watch me’ exercise. Look for a book called Feisty Fido.
