I am fostering a dog that is deaf, (but in the process of adopting) and when we go for walks with our dog that can hear, she seems to want to chase him or be next to him. I usually have to pull her aside, get her attention and give her the sit command but she is so excited that she doesn't. The tsst works with our hearing dog, what do I do with a deaf dog"?

Perhaps I have missed the point you are trying to make; Are you asking, how do you get the deaf dog's attention when it is running away from you, thus unable to make eye contact with you and your silent commands? I offer the question: If you were blind, would you not want to "be next" to the person who could see? Could it be that the hearing dog provides comfort and "orientation" to the deaf dog, i.e., the hearing dog is the deaf dog's secuity blanket. In a dog obedience class I attended, there was a deaf dog, totally relient upon hand signals. The instructor advised that whenever the dog was outside (in an unfenced area), it should always be leashed for its safety, because unless the dog was in position for direct eye contact, it could not hear any approaching danger or voice commands.

hi ceaser i was wondering if you could send me some advice i have four dogs and one of them that is real stuborn i have tried everying please help me Love,madison

I want to train my dog to go to the bathroom in one spot in the yard. We put down some cedar chips and are trying to get him to go there each time it looks like he needs to go. I think we've made it such a big deal that the dog thinks it's more of a time out area. What's the best way to go about this. I don't want to pull treats out until he's done what we want either. Can you help me?

Dear Cesar, I do not know if you will ever read this, but I have a lot of respect for you and your way of working with dogs. My dog Bear is a labrador retriever (100lbs)and is not like the common lab, he is dominant, very protective, does not like other dogs (loves people). To complicate matters he also has a seizure disorder, which at this point in time I can control with decreasing his environmental stress. We want to add another dog to the family and our house is situated to which we can keep the dogs seperate but I wish there was a way we can integrate them into becoming a pack. I have tried some of your techniques and before I knew about you, I had tried talking and working with different trainers to deescalate his aggression around other dogs. I have not given up hope to add another dog, a female, because Bear is such a wonderful part of our family, there has to be some way to accomplish. Can you please help?

I would like to know if Caesar has become a naturalized citizen yet

We adopted a 9 month-old beagle about 6 weeks ago, and we live in the woods with about an acre yard. I take Lily for a 30 minute walk or have her run along the bicycle nearly every morning. (I know this is not nearly enough exercise to tire her out, but I am trying) Our problem/concern is this: how do we get her to listen and stop on the edge of the trees when she is 'hunting'? She will not listen when she is unleashed outside and has run into the woods for up to 20 minutes at a time. We are fearful she will one day keep going (there are hundreds of acres of trees out there) or get into trouble or hurt in some other way. Her nose is going nonstop.

Hi Cesar, I have an 8 year old Dalmation that does not like dogs at all and is very aggressive towards them. My husband and I watch your show and have made a great improvement in him. He isn't friendly towards other dogs though, and definitely would'nt consider "playing" with them. My daughter has a hy-bred Siberian Husky, Wolf mix which isn't quite 2 years old. Only about 33 per wolf I think. He is not aggressive but is very, very playful. He goes to the dog park daily and I can't take my Dalmation there. Is there any possibilty that these two could ever become friends so that they could be left alone in the same yard?

After watching all your shows I now have a well balanced happy dog and family. I AM the packleader. Just wanted to let you know how much you have taught me. I have now passed my knowledge on to everyone I know. Also the channel and times you are on. My husband has even accused me of dressing him like you and he thinks I am in love with you and I tell him "whats not to love" Keep up the great work, I'll be watching you, even the reruns!!!

Cesar,
My chocolate lab is a sweetheart; however, she has an eating problem. She is on a constant search for food. She is normal weight and actually in great shape.
I have "dog-proofed" all cabinets--to no avail. She is so sneaky. Yesterday she got into the spices and bouillon cubes. Last week she went to my daughter's room and opened a backpack and found tortillas. When I come home from work and she has eaten things, she will go and find a hiding place. On walks, she will stop in her tracks when she smells food and migrate to wherever the smell originates. Is there a way to make her stop seeking food all day long. She is fed twice a day at regualr times.
Please advise.

We are having problems house beaking our 11 week old lab.

Hi; I have had Shelties in the past and though they were fairly well behaved, they actually were the pack leaders in the home. In Nov 06 I had a fire in which my dogs perished along with everything else I own. I just came home today with 2 soft coated Wheaten Terriers and have been watching the show continuously since I decided I was ready to once again have a puppy. In fact, the show was the main reason I began to feel ready. One of the dogs is for me and one is for my adult daughter who lives with me. I am so excited and am prepared to start them out with Cesar's methods............. Thanks.

Hi, I watch your show all the time. My problem is that my husband and I have moved in with my 87 year old dad who has a 12 year old blueheeler. Her problem is that she is over protective of dad, she is diabetic and now blind in one eye and going blind in the other. She is so agressive to other dogs, we have a 5 year old male who is the most loveing little man. He just tolerates her and she has gone after him a couple times lately, he just about took her this last time but stopped. He knows his place he is a good boy. She likes to grab the pant leg of people who enter the house to fast or get close to dad.
We hook her up to a cable so she doesn't get to far from the house. But only when we are out with her. She is learning the lay out of the house now I think because she starts to run into things then stops. We have had our mail stoped from comeing to the house because of her aggresive bark toward the mail man. She is just a little stinker. But dad's doesn't see her faults. Any advice? Thank you

This is ashley and i have a question. If you and your dog are just walkin on the sidewalk or something and minding your own business and another talk caomes up and gets in a fight with your dog What would you do i don't know what i would do i would just stand there and screem if it was me. So i wanted to ask you about that.Thank you.

Hello cesar,

I have one dog who is very agressif( I talk in french, I life in Quebec).

Dear Cesar...I have had this same problem with dogs I have "fostered" and now with my new 2 yr. old sheltie...the kennel dogs coming from the breeders are pack dogs and find it hard to get used to being with a one owner and no other dogs. Specifically, I am having a problem with getting my new boy to potty on leash....he holds it for 24 hours. I made the mistake prior to this with fosters, walking them before they were used to my yard (I have no fence and can't have in my community). They got used to walking where other dogs have pottied and would never go in my yard. With Reece, my new boy, I have kept him in my yard and want to get him used to going there before we start our usual 2-4 walks a day. Help, he can't seem to get it about potty. He was used to running with a pack of his buds in the kennel where he was born, so now everything is new and scary to him. I praise him when he goes and am very patient, keeping a quiet calm demeanor, but still no luck. Help.

I would like to purchase a dog swimming pool like you have at your camp, could you please let me know where to get one. They look very durable and if they stand up to the dogs in your pack I think they can stand up to my two water loving labs that are just too rough for kiddie pools.

I too have a yellow lab who loves to swim. Every time we take her out to swim, she gets fish hooks, thorns, etc. in her her paws. I too would like to know about your pool. PLEASE

I have 5 large dogs and would love to purchase a pool like you have at your psychology center. Could you tell me where I can get one?

Thanks....I love your show.

Hi Cesar,
We watch your show all the time and we would love to get a pool like the one you have for our girls. We have two kiddie pools, but they are just not big enough. I would really apprechiate any information you could give me on where to purchase one like you have.
Thanks,
Rodney

I think the pool is probably a stock tank.

I recently lost my dog of 12 years. I decided to foster with intent to adopt and chose a beautiful small pitbull that is nearly 2 years old. The problem is that I also have a cat. The dog has been in our home for 4 days and we introduced them slowly. They seem to coexist most of the time however, the dog stares intently at the cat and she seems to "glaze over" then lunges at her. I can get her attention but she goes back and does it again later. What can I do? Is this going to escalate?
