Dog whispering in the 21st century - Seattle Dog Training, Behavior, and Nutrition. Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer,” is undeniably popular and commercially successful, however his methods that rely on provocation and dominance have been controversial in the world of dog training and among dog owners.
