Ep 7. Hudson & Orchid, and L.A. Animal Control

In season 4 episode 7 of Dog Whisperer, titled "Hudson & Orchid, and L.A. Animal Control," Cesar Millan visits two dogs with very different issues.

First, Cesar meets Hudson, a lovable but stubborn English bulldog who refuses to walk on a leash. His owners are at their wits' end and don't know how to get him to comply. Cesar quickly realizes that Hudson is simply too strong and has been allowed to get away with this behavior for too long. He introduces a gentle leader and begins to train him in basic leash manners. As the session progresses, Hudson slowly begins to respond and his owners gain confidence in walking him.

Next, Cesar meets Orchid, a Boxer who is terrified of men after being abandoned by her previous male owner. Orchid's fear has caused her to become aggressive towards men, making it difficult for her owners to have male visitors or even walk her in public. Cesar works with Orchid to build her confidence and trust in men by exposing her to positive male interactions. Throughout the session, Orchid makes great progress and her owners are thrilled with the results.

Finally, Cesar spends time with the staff of L.A. Animal Control, offering tips on how to handle and interact with the dogs in their care. He teaches them to use calming body language and avoid escalating a dog's anxiety. The team at L.A. Animal Control is grateful for Cesar's insight and expertise, knowing that it will help them better care for the dogs in their facility.

Overall, this episode of Dog Whisperer offers valuable insights into how to work with dogs with a variety of issues, from leash problems to fear aggression. Cesar's techniques are gentle and effective, proving that with patience and dedication, any dog can learn to become a well-behaved and happy member of the family.
