Ep 8. Gus, Abbey and Vinnie

In this episode of Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, Cesar helps three different dogs and their owners overcome behavioral issues.

First, Cesar meets Gus, a large and aggressive Rottweiler. Gus has a history of attacking other dogs and even biting his own owner. Cesar observes Gus's behavior and quickly realizes that Gus is insecure and protective of his owner. Cesar works with Gus's owner to establish herself as the pack leader and helps Gus learn to trust her. Through exercises and training, Cesar helps Gus overcome his fear and aggression towards other dogs.

Next, Cesar meets Abbey, a Miniature Schnauzer with a stubborn streak. Abbey has a habit of barking excessively and not listening to her owner's commands. Cesar discovers that Abbey's behavior is caused by a lack of exercise and stimulation. He works with Abbey's owner to establish a routine that includes regular walks and playtime. Cesar also teaches Abbey to respond to her owner's commands and discourages her from excessive barking.

Lastly, Cesar meets Vinnie, a Pit Bull who has a fear of going outside. Vinnie refuses to leave his owner's side and becomes anxious and aggressive when attempting to go for walks. Cesar helps Vinnie's owner understand that her own fear and anxiety is being transferred to Vinnie. He teaches her techniques for calming herself and shows her how to lead Vinnie outside with calm and assertive energy. Through consistent training, Cesar helps Vinnie gradually become more comfortable with outdoor activities.

Throughout the episode, Cesar emphasizes the importance of establishing oneself as the pack leader and maintaining a consistent routine for the dogs. He also emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding the dog's perspective in order to effectively address behavioral issues. Through patience and compassion, Cesar is able to help these three dogs overcome their issues and become happier and more well-adjusted pets.
