Thanks Dabs, he is very believable, (and a little bit delish too!!)DABurleigh said:Cesar (Dog Whisperer) never claims to be a dog trainer. He rehabilitates problem dogs and trains people; a subtle difference

Isn't it really amazing? I remember an incident that blew me away.patp said:What about the dogs who detect when their owner is about to have a seizure? They know before the owner does. How amazing is that?
Then there are the ones who detect cancer 8O
People find it hard to understand that their dog will pick up the slightest bit of stress.
I personally find it difficult to deal with the responsibility of having so profound an effect on a dog's emotions. If I am having a bad day then my dog picks up on it and that makes me sad.
When we were packing up the house to go full timing Gypsy started vomitting and was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer - yes you have guessed it - the stress that we were experiencing was being picked up by her. She internalises all her stress and that is how it manifested itself. Other dogs may have displayed different symptoms or behaviour.
We hold the key to our dog's happiness in the palm of our hands and we should take care to be gentle with it.
