'Dog Whisperer' seeking wolf hybrid dog owners - Whittier Daily News

If you too are fed up with what the media is doing to dogs and now to wolf hybrids for ratings, join Nicole Wilde and those of us who care enough to do more than grumble, write to protest at - Contact Us- National Geographic Channel

Well . . . it might be worth it to see him get mauled.

*I didn't say that . . .*

I hope he gets mauled. opcorn:

Okay. Here's what I sent . . .

Really, can you possibly come up with a more irresponsible idea for programming? It's bad enough that National Geographic has lent its name to and endowed this pseudo-trainer and his downright dangerous and rightfully outmoded "training" practices with an aura of legitimacy, but to extend this to the idea that the breeding of wolf hybrids is an ethical practice goes beyond the pale.

The only possible redemption this idea could possibly have is for his followers to see him try his alpha rolling techniques (long since discredited by legitimate behaviorists) on the wrong dog and watch him get his well-earned mauling publicly.

The name, "National Geographic" once stood for something fine. I am saddened at the depths to which it is sinking.

WOW! That is just.. wow I guess that just goes to show he really is all about the ratings...

Was there ever any doubt?

He's letting that ego write checks that ass can't cash.

Thanks Renee - great letter!!! Tell 'em how you REALLY feel:rofl1::rofl1: NGC has lost the last crumb of respect I had for them.

 

[sillysally]

Since this is clearly a ratings free for all I'd like to see an "exotics" episode where he helps people out with their unruly saltwater crocodiles....






This is where positive training will get you people----clearly this little fellow is lacking a calm and assertive pack leader. Daily leadership walks, some alpha rolls and some good old fashioned "Tssssting" should fix him right up.....

There are no bad crocodiles. Only bad crocodile owners......

That may be the best post of the day.

This should be very interesting indeed.

 

[Renee750il]

Now, wouldn't it make more sense to do a limited number of programs with HER? :wall:

It will be interesting to see how he compares dogs with the hybrids. I think I've seen him work with them before on at least one episode... I have little time for TV these days.

I don't think the average owner should own one in the first place. But then, there are a lot of breeds which are far more challenging than a novice owner can handle too.

My only "oh dear" moment is picturing hybrids as the new "gotta have it cuz I saw it on TV" pet.

Yikes x 3 :yikes::yikes::yikes:

No kidding. Especially if the average viewer sees a bunch of gorgeous animals and decides they can get one and easily manage its behavior with regular alpha rolling, ear pinching, and neck jabs.

that will surely give them high ratings...
