Ep 20. Amber, Snoopy and Schroeder--Show 320

Dog Whisperer season 3 episode 20, titled "Amber, Snoopy, and Schroeder," follows renowned dog trainer Cesar Millan as he helps three different families each with their own unique set of challenges with their furry friends.

In the first segment, Cesar meets with Amber, an energetic Border Collie who can't seem to calm down even when her owners are exhausted. Despite their best efforts to tire her out with multiple daily walks, Amber is always looking for something else to do, whether it's digging in the backyard or chewing on furniture. Cesar works with Amber's owners to establish clear rules and boundaries, as well as providing mental and physical stimulation through training exercises.

Next up, Cesar visits Snoopy, a Beagle who has become increasingly aggressive towards strangers. His owners are hesitant to have visitors over for fear of Snoopy's unpredictable behavior. Cesar observes Snoopy's behavior and quickly identifies the root of his aggression: a lack of proper socialization and exposure to new people and situations. With Cesar's guidance, Snoopy's owners slowly reintroduce him to new experiences in a controlled environment, helping him build confidence and reduce his fear-based aggression.

Finally, Cesar meets Schroeder, an excitable Schnauzer who barks incessantly whenever his owners leave the house. His owners are worried their neighbors will start to complain about the noise, and are looking for a way to calm Schroeder down. Cesar helps Schroeder's owners establish a consistent routine and a calm, assertive energy when leaving and returning home. He also teaches Schroeder how to relax and self-soothe through the use of a calming touch technique.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to Cesar's signature insights on dog behavior and training, as he helps each family better understand their own dogs and establish routines that work for everyone. Whether it's providing mental and physical stimulation, socialization, or calm energy, Cesar's methods prove effective and helpful in improving the lives of both dogs and their owners.
