Dog Whisperer

Dog Whisperer TV is an Emmy Award-nominated reality television series that premiered on September 13, 2004 on the National Geographic Channel. 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.
