The Dog Whisperer Wins an Imagen Award
I was thrilled to hear that Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) won an Imagen Award for Best Reality Show recently. He certainly looks very happy in this photo!
His shows are so inspiring for dog owners and help us know that it’s not our dog’s fault, we just need to learn to be better pack leaders. I never miss an episode of The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel because Cesar is so amazing.
The series just celebrated it’s 100th episode and I was also happily surprised to find out that Cesar’s inspiration for moving from Mexico to America was to become the best dog trainer ever…I think he’s achieved his goal! And he says that he was inspired by watching the old series Lassie. He originally wanted to work as a dog trainer for the show.
I personally loved Lassie myself, having had collies as a child and now owning Rufus, who is also a collie.
I’m also planning to buy a treadmill for Rufus for the cold and icy winter months. I’ve watched Cesar Millan train a number of dogs to walk on a treadmill and feel pretty confident that I can get Rufus to do it too. He absolutely LOVES to please! And he loves our walks! I’ll keep you posted as I teach him, so be sure to stay tuned!
