Just finished up a 6 week series of Puppy Kindergarten and Puppy Next Step with the next series slated to begin next month.
Shy dogs learning to play and overcome some fears; over the top pups learned to tone it down and play nice; people learning a peaceful, fun and non violent way to train.
Spring is definitely afoot. Sunshine, melting snow, blue skies, chirping birds -- an assault on all the senses. In a good way.
View this hilarious clip from Charlie Murphy which says with laugh out loud humor the real secret to the Dog Whisperer. An assault on the senses. In a bad way. Shout it out -- positive training works!

that was a hilarious and accurate dipiction - thanks for the link.
Not a CM fan myself I do have to say his latest episodes appear to be much more "user friendly" with the use of more positive techniques and food rewards, environmental enrichment (instead of just exercise), patience etc - perhaps all the criticism he received has sunk in (or maybe he's just not filming the stuff that got him into trouble in the first place anymore)

Charlie Murphey on the dog whisperer
Well done! Maybe satire is the best tool for reaching some people. South park did a parody of CM a while back too where he turned Cartman (the brattiest and most antisocial of the kids) into a "calm and sumbissive" automaton who did nothing but crawl quietly around on the floor.
Still, I wonder if some people will ever truly care or "get it.

Great video! He really got the essence.
