Ive seen him live at a show in Baltimore. He is right with his training. I have also read one of his books and recently started his latest book. One of biggest problem is that we humanize the dogs. We treat them like babies, the way we talk to them, let them get away with thing, etc. I know, you just love em.. I am at fault here too and i bet most pet lovers are. Its just our natural way to show our love. Dogs have different needs, they love all that attention and love but too much of anything is a bad thing. They also need discipline and exercise too! Exercise is very important. I have a weimaraner and if she doesnt get the exercise she needs, it shows. She ends up getting into things, eating carpet, shes also no as responsive. Cesars techniques do work! I highly recommend his book, especially if you have a puppy, its much easier to break bad habits when they are younger. The older they get harder it is, it can be done, takes more work. Its all about being the pack leader!
