'Dog Whisperer' Week (8PM, NGC)Every night this week, from 8-10PM, it's back-to-back episodes with 'Dog Whisperer' Cesar Milan, and he kicks off a busy five days with the show's first trip to help some pooches outside the United States. 'Cesar Down Under' takes the titular teacher to Australia, a country with more than 400 million dogs, for his international doggie do-gooding, as he helps a Great Dane with a big biting problem and a bearded collie who's just a bit too aggressive.
Fox hopes Dog Whisperer will make audiences sit up and beg

Fox is looking to turn National Geographic's Cesar Millan, aka the Dog Whisperer, into a funny idea for a sitcom. And no, that's not the part they hope is funny. The network is looking to cast That 70's Show's Wilmer Valderrama in the potential sitcom's title role, assuming it's called "The Dog Whisperer." Hung's co-executive producer Emily Kapnek will write the show's pilot.
If this gets to the air and becomes a wild success, just imagine the bar this could set for other reality show stars to get their own half-hour sitcom. Then again, try not to or your skull will cave in.

Since 'That 70's Show' went off the air, Wilmer Valderrama has been better known for his tabloid exploits than for his acting. Now it's time to find out if his bite can still live up to his bark in a new sitcom based on 'Dog Whisperer.'According to Variety, Valderrama has been tapped by Fox to star in a new sitcom based on the National Geographic Channel series, which follows the adventures of canine guru Cesar Millan.
Dog Whisperer celebrates 100th episode

The next time I have a panic attack, I want Cesar Millan to talk me off the ledge. He might be known as the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel, but I have a feeling he's great with humans, too. I'm sure I'd respond to his gentle "ch ch" murmurs just as well as the angry pit bulls he deals with regularly on Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan. The show celebrates its 100th episode on Sept. 19, and this household is officially hooked. There's something strangely meditative about the way he calms the dogs on that show. And, truthfully, it's not so much the dogs he works with as their nimrod human companions. Let's face it. The dogs are alright. The humans need work.
It's all about relationships, and his job, he says, is to draw out the good behavior in any given dog ("There are no killer dogs!"), and then tell the humans how to maintain it.
Pet owner sues Dog Whisperer

A Hollywood television producer is suing dog trainer Cesar Millan, aka The Dog Whisperer. The lawsuit claims that the producer's labrador retriever was injured when he was choked with a collar and forced to run on a treadmill. Flody Suarez, producer of 8 Simple Rules, said that after she dropped her dog off at Millan's training facility, she was told her dog was rushed a veterinarian. When she got to the vet, the lawsuit claims the dog was "bleeding from his mouth and nose, in an oxygen tent gasping for breath and with severe bruising to his back inner thighs."Suarez is suing because she has spent $25,000 in veterinary bills (holy smokes!) and wants the facility to pay for another surgery her dog needs to repair his esophagus. A spokesman says Cesar Millan was not at the training facility at the time and had not been personally training Suarez' dog.
