Ep 11. Troy and Roxy

In season 4 episode 11 of Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan meets with Troy and Roxy, a pair of dogs who are having trouble getting along. Troy, a Rottweiler, has been bullying Roxy, a Poodle, and causing her to become scared and anxious around other dogs.

Cesar starts by observing the dogs’ interactions and identifying the root of the problem. He notes that Troy is overly dominant and uses his size and strength to intimidate Roxy. He also notices that Roxy has a submissive personality and lacks confidence in herself.

To help Roxy build her confidence, Cesar works with her separately from Troy. He introduces her to some other dogs and helps her learn how to interact with them. He uses positive reinforcement techniques to reward her for good behavior and encourages her to stand up for herself when necessary.

Meanwhile, Cesar works with Troy to help him understand that his dominant behavior towards Roxy is not acceptable. He shows Troy that he can still be a strong and confident dog without bullying others. Cesar also helps Troy learn how to use his energy in a positive way, such as through exercise and playtime.

Throughout the episode, Cesar stresses the importance of establishing clear boundaries and rules for both dogs. He works with the owners to create a structured routine and teaches them how to enforce the rules consistently.

By the end of the episode, both dogs have made significant progress. Roxy is no longer afraid of other dogs and is able to stand up for herself when needed. Troy has learned to control his dominant behavior and is now able to coexist peacefully with Roxy. The owners are grateful for Cesar’s help and are confident in their ability to maintain the progress that has been made.

Overall, this episode of Dog Whisperer emphasizes the importance of understanding dog behavior and using positive reinforcement techniques to create a harmonious household for both dogs and owners alike.
