Dog Whisperer - TV is an Emmy Award-nominated National Geographic Channel series that premiered on September 13, 2004. Cesar Millan portrays his real life role in rehabilitating and restoring balance to dogs with problems.
Millan's specialty is working with dogs that are known to be aggressive. Episodes of the program often feature but are not limited to work with an aggressive dog and Millan's application of rules, boundaries, and limitations. Millan believes that pack leadership, by all humans who live or work with the dog, is required for the dog to exist in a content, calm state. Millan demonstrates to the owners how to obtain and maintain this.
As part of the show, Millan is shown as someone who owns 40 to 50 dogs, including Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and German Shepherds, all of whom coexist in peace, uncaged and unchained. Millan is also an honorary member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). Dog Whisperer is sponsored by Purina and Petco.
ITS ME OR THE DOG
It's Me or the Dog is a television program produced by UK television production company Ricochet, in which dog trainer Victoria Stilwell tackles behavioral problems in dogs by teaching their owners responsible dog ownership. Known for her natural ability to train any dog, Victoria promotes positive reinforcement-based dog training techniques reliant on teaching both owner and dog through positive associations and confidence. The show is currently airing in over 20 countries worldwide.

Helpful Dog Training Tips
Recommended Answer:
Definatly Ceaser Milan. I like him alot better than Victoria, and he uses a lot better tequines (in my opinion). We use his tequines to teach my puppy to be more respectful, and now I am working my way up to be a pack leader.
Hope this helps!
Teaching Your Dogs The Basics Of Dog Training
- What's with the recent deluge of this question?
Victoria. Cesar uses outdated methods that shut down the dog or make him act out of fear. Victoria uses methods that encourage the dog to learn and want to behave and that improve the relationship and bond between dog and family. - Well I think Cesar is the best when it comes to rehab for dogs with extreme problems, and aggressiveness.
But i like Victoria for the other stuff, Like potty training and when dogs dont like other dogs or when the chase cats, and when dogs jump on owners grab food. - i like victoria stilwell...she's so delightfully british! i have a dog who was running off in the woods, rolling in poo, and not coming when i whistled, but i used some of Victoria's ideas and the problem is fixed! if only we could get her on supernanny!
- I think they both have novel (to me, a novice) ways of approaching dog behaviors. I think that Millan has a more universal manner when handling dogs. His method deals with the big picture, while Stillwell treats each problem separately.
- The Dog Whisperer.
My mom is dog groomer and when she has bad dogs she does what Cesar does and it works perfect!
I also love Cesar i think what he is doing is great and he is very good at explaining things! - Dog Whisperer is better because of his approach and the dogs respond alot faster then the ones on Its Me Or The Dog
- dog whiispere is better then any think its fantastic, hes fantastic
- Simply put:
Victoria uses methods that ANY average joe pet owner can learn and continue to use on their dog after she is gone.
Cesar uses methods that only a professional should use, but since people see them working on the tv they will attempt themselves anyway which is extremely dangerous.
They both advocate that boundaries MUST be made and maintained with your dogs, though, which is extremely important. - I think it is hard to say. Caesar focuses on dog psychology, where Victoria is a dog trainer. Caesar says he trains people, and I think that people do need some training when it comes to owning some dogs. They both focus on how important exercise and discipline are though. I will say that Cesar seems to have more of a handle on dealing with the more aggressive cases than the other show does.
Overall, I like Dog whisperer better. - Cesar. His methods work. Victoria is an idiot. I cannot stand that show, or her. I have had great success with Cesar's methods on both my dogs, including controlling one dogs food aggression issues. The carry on that his methods constitute animal cruelty is ridiculous. And the point of heavy editing and sudden appearances of warnings? Simple. ALL TELEVISION IS EDITED. Even the wonderful Victoria's show. The warning is the network and producers covering their behinds, in case some idiot tries to sue them after they used Cesar's methods on an unknown dog with obvious aggression problems.
- You lost me at Milan's "restores balance", that's so typical of his pop psych gobbledeegook that it says it all.
These two do not in any way compete, Milan is a t.v. actor and Victoria is an actual dog trainer, with certification and training. Milan has no training, he bases his nutsy theories on observing Mexican street dogs and then makes a miraculous quick fix of all problems within his t.v. segment - it is purely entertainment, heavily edited, and often very dangerous nonsense (his "alpha roll" is obscene, no reputable trainer had advocated that in 40 years and it isn't even correct in wolf behavior observations - that was an erroneous theory to begin with).
So, kindly remember that Milan is NOT a behaviorist, rather an actor. It is entertainment folks - dangerous to copy. Even Milan has gone way far afield of his earlier behavior with dogs - if you compare the early segments with all the "warnings" he issues now before and after, you will get the idea that the guy has been sued and had lots and lots of problems.
Victoria does not do miracle cures, she teaches people how to train their dogs - patiently and consistantly, she doesn't pretend to cure all with her nonsensical Hollywood new age "auras" and "states".
So, of course Millan is more popular, instant fixes always are - even if they get you bitten and often constitute dog abuse. Scare an animal with force the way Millan does, and the problems just go deeper - and surface with a vengeance eventually. Wonder how many dead dogs that guy is ultimately responsible for and how many people have been bitten trying out his "instant" cures on their dogs.
