Ep 1. Bebe and Lola

In season 7 episode 1 of Dog Whisperer, titled Bebe and Lola, renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan takes on the challenge of helping two families with their respective dogs. The first family, who owns a West Highland terrier named Bebe, has reached out to Cesar for help with their dog's aggressive tendencies, particularly towards other dogs. The second family has a French bulldog named Lola who has been suffering from separation anxiety and destructive behavior.

Cesar first meets with Bebe's family, who explain that the tiny terrier is highly reactive towards other dogs, to the point where they cannot take her on walks without her lunging, barking, and snarling at any other dogs in sight. Cesar observes that Bebe is exhibiting classic signs of fear aggression, and he works with the family to help them understand how to properly handle Bebe's behavior. Cesar also spends time working with Bebe herself, using his unique blend of psychology and dog training techniques to help her overcome her fear and aggression.

Next, Cesar shifts his focus to Lola and her family. The French bulldog has been tearing up furniture and other items when left alone, and her owners are understandably frustrated and upset. Cesar notes that Lola's behavior is likely rooted in anxiety, and he works with the family to create a structured routine and positive reinforcement system to help ease Lola's stress. Through training exercises and a focus on creating a calm and stable environment, Cesar aims to help Lola overcome her separation anxiety and become a well-adjusted and happy pup.

Throughout the episode, Cesar emphasizes the importance of proper training and education for dog owners, noting that many common behavioral issues can be resolved with the right tools and techniques. He also stresses the importance of treating dogs with respect and empathy, and encourages owners to understand that their dog's behavior is largely a reflection of their own actions and attitudes.

Overall, Bebe and Lola showcases Cesar Millan's unique approach to dog training and behavior modification, as he works with two very different dogs and their respective families to help them overcome their challenges and live happier, healthier lives together.
