Very telling that 32 u.k. dog charities denounced Milan prior to his visit to U.K. One of my clients followed his advice and took her terrified dog down a main street to flood her as Milan does and everyone had the worst day of their lives. Remember the message 'do not attempt this at home' flashes across your screen at the end of the show - says it all spot on with your assesments.

I just watched 1 of the "At the end of my leash" shows with Brad Pattinson. All I can say is that I won't be bothering to watch another! I saw very little evidence of dog training, good or bad, in this show and the (thoroughly unpleasant, in my opinion) Brad seemed to be mostly about being extremely disrespectful to the hapless owners and how he was 'the MAN who could fire his clients' for not giving 110% dedication to his dubious theories and methods. I found the whole quite rediculous and more akin to X-Factor type shows than anything approaching dog training. My god! I just watched 1 of the “At the end of my leash” shows with Brad Pattinson.

Good Dog! with Stanley Coren I would rate a 7/10 I have to disagree, both Millan like Pattison deserve a Zero.

It is such a shame that gentle, kind but firm methods do not make 'good television'. What's even more scary is that books by Cesar Milan are selling like hot cakes in UK! When someone gets bitten then whose fault will it be? Not 'The "supposed" Dog Whisperer that's for sure.
