    Not every home is right for every dog, regardless of how old it is.

    What's shocking is Cesar Milan using violence and intimidation to terrify dogs into submission, and then it being offered up as light entertainment. His use of electric collars, is quite literally shocking. Though if forced to choose between two cruel and painful 'training' aids I'd sooner have an electric shock collar used on me than one of the prong collars he's so fond of.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    I can;t believe people were sugesting getting rid of a 4 month ofl puppy. Shocking,

    It just needs some rules, discipline and structure. Watch the dog whisperer on Sky 3. He's amazing with animals.

    This is not a 4 month old Cocker Spaniel puppy from a good breeder which has been socialised and has an owner who has the time to train and socialse it further. This is a puppy whose very earliest days gave it a pre disposition to aggressive behaviour, who was living in a household with small children and an owner who didn't have the facilities to socialise properly - at 4 months socialisation becomes a lot harder (to put it simply). A puppy who has reached this stage is going to take a LOT of work to put back on track.

    As for Cesaer Milan - I agree with the previous poster - editing on TV has a LOT to answer for.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
