'Dog Whisperer': Saving a Dog From Death (VIDEO)
Cesar Millan is known as "the dog whisperer." But often, his technique focuses on reforming human behavior, rather than on the dogs themselves. On the new episode of 'Dog Whisperer' (Fri., 8PM ET on Nat Geo), Cesar meets Jaime Crossman and her dog Chloe, a Collie/Greyhound mixed-breed.Jaime was warned of Chloe's behavior when she first got her pet. Chloe is extremely aggressive and attacks other dogs on sight. If she can't reach the other dog she takes out her frustration on her owner -- biting and nipping at Jaime's legs.
And speaking of "frustration," another animal trainer gave up on Chloe in despair. He called her a "genetic disaster" and recommended that she be put down. So the stakes are high. If Cesar can't reform Chloe, then she may be facing death.
Instead of criticizing the dog, Millan focuses on Jaime's "energy." He puts Chloe inside a caged yard -- and watches her attack another animal. Jaime tries desperately to separate the dogs. But her panicked efforts agitate her pet even more, increasing Chloe's aggression. "That's what created it ... it was the energy you gave," Cesar says, explaining that the Chloe is taking behavioral cues from her owner. Jaime is shocked to learn this. "It's me, it's not [Chloe,] it's me."
Will the pet, the owner and the trainer be able to work together ... and keep Chloe from being killed?
