  1. Here in the classification must be also Paul Owens, Grisha Stewart and Emili Larham.

    You are idiots, who don’t understand nothing about dog behavior, to put the clown Cesar Millan here. This man is parody. he is absolutely harmful for the dogs, he he should be kicked out of the community of people dealing with dogs.

  2. Cesar Millan has doe wonders for many dogs around the world that now have happier and healthier lives because of him. His world revolves around dogs and he knows what he is doing. He is loving and kind to every dog but with the disipline they need to be well behaved and happy too.

  3. Cesar is a natural dog trainer, which no amount of book reading or classes can accomplish. He totally understands dogs and what is needed to modify their behavior. I have been a dog trainer for 40 years and also know that each dog is different and should be trained accordingly. A true dog training gift is being able to understand the dog you are attempting to train.

  4. What is your definition of “top”. Cesar Millan is not good, he isn’t knowledgable, he isn’t beneficial, so what do you mean by top?
