With his collection of New York Times bestsellers and a nine-season television series, Cesar Millan has established himself as the leader of the pack in the field of dog training. Millan has possessed a natural connection to canines since he was a child in Mexico, and he has since turned his pack-based, calm-assertive technique for obedience into an American empire. Now, he brings the sage animal advice he displayed on Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan to seminars around the world, sharing his tips for creating harmony with one’s pet through awareness of energy and instinct. Upon a set decorated like a living room, Cesar lectures on topics such as reading pooch body language, recognizing aggression and its triggers, and regaining a dog’s trust after sleeping in its bed. The seminar also includes live appearances from problematic pups and their owners, during which Cesar will share techniques for curbing hyperactive behaviours.
