TV Shows

It’s Me or The Dog with Victoria Stilwell – Animal Planet – Positive methods for dealing with various behavior issues.

DogTown  - National Geographic Channel – Follow the dogs at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary as they are rehabilitated using positive training methods.

Pitbulls and Parolees - Animal Planet - Follow the stories of dogs and men who are being rehabilitated using positive reinforcement methods!

I do not recommend you watch The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan. Please do not try to follow Cesar’s Way on your own without professional supervision.  The almost constantly running disclaimer that his methods should not be tried at home are there for good reasons!  Be sure to check out the links to the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) on the main resources page for more information on why I feel this way.
