Thanks for the clarification.
I thought that might have been the case, but I wanted to hear it from you...just to make sure.
All in all, I agree completely with your views on Cesar Millan's rehabilitation techniques and how the majority of dog owners out there really aren't trained on how to implement his techniques properly---and that's assuming, of course, that their situation warrants using any of Cesar's approaches in the first place with their particular animals (which clearly that is not always the case)!
I don't want to get your thread too off-track by going into detail, so I'll just sum up by saying that we've managed to put many of Cesar's techniques to good use with our 'stubborn' pug, Willow. She has already been through obedience training, and the fundamentals of maintaining her 'good manners' are put into practice on a daily basis. She is not an aggressive dog by any means, yet she is still able to benefit from some of Millan's techniques...as are her human masters.
Granted, I am no stranger to working with dogs either (and again, I'll skip the details there). Overall, I'm very comfortable applying many of Cesar's techniques wherever they're warranted, but I can certainly see how his approaches certainly are not for your average dog owner to run out and implement on their own with very little or no guidance; not to mention very little to no prior experience in working with dogs.
Back to Betty...
I'm glad to hear you're making some progress. I haven't read through the entire thread, but I've been checking in from time to time, and it's nice to be able to track your progression with her.
