In the second season of The Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan shows his breadth of abilities of working with all kinds of problem pooches, gently asserting his dominance over the dogs and gaining their trust. For example, pity poor Booker. The handsome Hungarian Vizsla was born in a quiet pocket of rural Southern California, and ever since moving to bustling downtown Long Beach with his doting owner has been terrified of, well, pretty much everything. On his daily walks, Booker cowers, lurks, bolts, and otherwise is utterly miserable at the sight of baby strollers, rollerbladers, a random garbage can that wasn't there yesterday. Enter Millan, who's able to coax Booker out of his paralyzing fear--in part by physically holding his tail out from between his legs. This position "makes him feel pride," Millan says, and sure enough, Booker begins to hold his head up, too, and act calmer.

In some cases the transformations are nothing short of incredible. Buddy ("the Biter"), a Papillon-corgi mix, is a sweet, loving dog one minute, and a savage biting machine the next. After seeing how Buddy treats his owners, you wouldn't want to get into the same room with him, yet Millan gently approaches the dog and sits on the floor next to him, inching closer until he's touching a very mellow-looking Buddy. "Walk with a dog who's in a traumatic state," Millan advises, "and then when they calm down, show the love." And not a minute before. The boxed set includes five discs of the season's episodes, and extras including three new unseen stories, Millan's essential tips for dog owners (not to be missed) and a behind-the-scenes featurette. --A.T.

Customer Reviews

An improvement over the already great 1st season
Cesar Millan is a gifted man. He instinctively understands animals in a way the rest of us can only dream about. I swear the guy is part dog! It's a real pleasure to watch Cesar in action with dogs - especially the "Red Zone" cases that no one else can help. Cesar's methods are firm, but always humane. I never tire of watching this great show. Watching Cesar diagnose the human caretakers is every bit as interesting as seeing him work with the animals. In my opinion, the production values of Season 2 are definitely superior to season 1. This is a terrific show and I never of it. Great job Cesar Millan!

Empowering
I am so excited for the second season on DVD. I can't wait to watch every episode religously.

I have a german shephard/Rottie named Raven and applying Cesar's advice to my life has helped me out so much. He was never to much of a problem dog, indoors, until i would take him for walks. But learning from watching Cesar I have now mastered the walk and now have a much happier pooch.

I wish Cesar had a Dog Psychology Center on The Eastcoast. Well, maybe I will start one, one day.

Second Season of Dog Whisperer Even Better!
Having watched every episode of Cesar Millan's first season of "Dog Whisperer" at least three times, I was ready to buy the second season DVD. I think it's even better! In these episodes, Cesar is more frank with the people he is "training", and tells them how they are short-circuiting their dog's behavior by not setting consistent rules, boundaries and limitations. As always, Cesar works a miracle with each dog he rehabilitates. I'm using the same techniques with good results at the local shelter where I work with all kinds of dogs: Rotties, pit bulls, cattle dogs, chihuahuas, labbies, and many other mixes. Even better, Cesar's philosophy also works with PEOPLE. Stay calm and assertive - be a pack leader!
