Scavenger

Have to admit, Tumbleweed's expression after nearly bonking into the camera is making me laugh even after watching it like 50 times.

After a large dog “trained” with methods like his bit me in the face without warning, I’m just glad it wasn’t a person that got killed, tbh.

I’m currently lamenting the fact that people are inevitably going to interpret this as “not even a famous dog trainer can control pit bulls!!!!” and not “Cesar Milan is a hack who doesn’t know what he’s doing”.

Cesar Milan’s methods are infamous for backfiring - they rely on the completely bullshit idea of “alpha wolves” and dogs owners needing to make the dog associate them with discipline and strength instead of comfort and safety. It’s essentially about teaching the dog that its owner is an authority figure, not a family member. Pit bulls have genetic tendencies that make them susceptible to developing anxiety problems and, in the worst case scenario, canine PTSD. Discipline focused training can make that worse, which leads to aggressive behavior. I’m not a professional dog trainer or anything, I’m just autistic and obsessed with learning about animal behavior, and even I know “The Dog Whisperer” is and always has been a dangerous hack.

Remember everyone. The lesson to take away from this is “Cesar Milan is a hack fraud”, not “Pitbulls are inherently dangerous and must be exterminated”
