The reason I've come to not like Cesar very much is because I think he's overrated I guess. How did he become so popular in the first place?
Inexperienced Dog owners take his word for gospel. They think they can handle any problems, and they do use Alpha rolling. They think everything can be done with dominating their dogs. I see this ALL the time at Petsmart, where I work. "Well, the dog whisperer says this!" "If I let him jump on me, or look me in the eye, he's dominating me!" "I just roll him over and pin him down whenever he does that. That's why he's growling at you."
I guess that's nothing to hold against him, as a dog trainer (certainly NOT the worst methods I've seen dog trainers use.) but not methods I would choose with my own dogs.
