Plus the drat dog didn't even keep eye contact. Chances are its 'bad behavior' is because the owner is a dick.

Yep, this would be the correct answer. Cesar is a prick, and he probably thinks spanking children is AOK as well.

He also thinks women are incapable of training dogs and are inferior to men.

Nah, I really think he can be faulted for kicking the dog. He's supposed to be a professional. If the dog had its mouth clamped onto the hand of some random person in the street, that's a different story.

Lab retrievers should not ever be dangerous to a professional, and Milan was not in any real danger there whatsoever. He was in danger of needing a few stiches in his hand, and for that he kicked a dog in the stomach.

For future reference, if a dog clamps onto your arm, you're allowed to stomp its brains out.

Here's the full clip.
That bite didn't come out of nowhere. Sure, it does looks like Holly had some food guarding issues. But Milan deliberately pushed her to get a reaction. Either through utter incompetence or to get that sweet 'before Milan's super training'-footage. Heck, Milan straight up punched the poor thing at 0:17.

Personally I like to think that Holly finally had enough of Milan's "kssht" nonsense.

drat, the editors putting in that music track just before he punches the dog, making it seem like the dog started it.

As someone who got bit by a friends sheepdog, I'd like to know.

I went looking for a video that really broke down the various ignored warning signs and things that were done to add fuel to the fire, but I couldn't find it. I'm wondering if it was removed. (E: Found it! https://www.facebook.com/1217980230/videos/4655581307021/)

Basically, the dog was giving a number of signals that she was uncomfortable, but he continued to press the issue (the issue being resource guarding food) in an attempt to call her bluff and, ultimately, to try to have her realize she can't get what she wants via a threat display. But the dog made good on her threat display, Cesar got stitches and NatGeo got an episode that everyone is still talking about, years later.

Here's a basic chart that shows how most dogs escalate to a bite:


A lot of the time, people miss subtle signs like looking away, lip licking. Frequently, a dog with behaviour issues has been punished for growling. Punishment reduces the likelihood of a behaviour repeating itself; if a dog has had its growl punished but it is still uncomfortable, it can escalate immediately to a snap and bite in an attempt to increase distance or make itself heard. Coupled with the ease at which people miss the stillness/freezing before a bite (or misinterpret it as a signal that the threat is over), you get a lot of people who claim that a dog "bit out of nowhere".

Resource guarding is a really, really common issue. It's also potentially really, really dangerous (case in point: that video). There are scientifically sound methods to combat resource guarding that require no stress or bite risk, but they're about as interesting to see as watching paint dry. (Good dog training is boring and makes for crappy TV.)

I'm not sure what the circumstances were in which you were bit, but my guess is that warning signs were missed, or someone tried to call the dog's bluff.

Anyways, I'm sorry for nerding out in the schadenfreude thread. Carry on!

I saw an episode of this, and the couple being interviewed says, "We opened the door, and... he didn't look anything like I'd expect a 'cat behaviorist' to look like!"

And I'm just thinking, "Really?!" I think I'd be surprised if a cat behaviorist didn't look like that.

You talking about legally? Of course, that's not at all what I was referring to. If you're a professional dog trainer its pretty much never acceptable to stomp a dog that you're working with. Especially not breed like labs that pose no significant danger to a fully grown human whatsoever.

In some ways, sure. Any breed can be trained and socialized properly, but some breeds just naturally have temperaments that make it extremely unlikely that they'd be any serious danger to humans.

My grandmother watches a ton of trash TV so this is always on when I'm go to visit her, and I don't know a lot about cats, what with them being the spawn of Satan, but he doesn't appear to be terribly bad.

Granted, most of what he tells these people is "Play with your loving cat" and that works about 90% of the time so idk

He never stomps a cat like Cesar does to dogs, though.

Yeah as horrible as he looks he actually seems really good at his job. He takes some cats that seem hopeless and just figure out what the hell is causing the behavior.

There's a lot of freude in that show though (my cat from hell). Idiots fighting their cats every day, getting bloody claw marks all up their arms and saying "Jackson!! We've tried everything to fix Mr. Whiskers but he's a cat from hell!!" and it turns out it's an unfixed male cat they never play with and has a really easy to fix health problem.

But if you want to watch people who are so bad at owning (sorry: GUARDIANS) cats that it's ruining their lives and soaking all their clothes in piss and cat poo poo it's a good time.



He also cries a lot in the show.

Yeah it's kind of amazing how many people don't seem to realize you actually have to give cats toys to play with and poo poo to climb on. Why even own a pet if you're not going to provide things that 2 seconds on Google would tell you are necessary?
