Ep 11. Dangerous Dane

Cesar Millan takes on a new challenge in the latest episode of "Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan: Family Edition" season 3. In this episode, titled "Dangerous Dane," Cesar must help a family whose Great Dane, Duke, has become aggressive and uncontrollable.

The episode begins with the family describing their struggles with Duke's behavior. Duke had been affectionate and friendly as a puppy, but as he got bigger, he became increasingly aggressive. He would often snap and growl at family members, and had even bitten a few of them. The family was afraid to be around him, and they were considering giving him up for adoption.

Cesar observes Duke's behavior and quickly assesses that he feels anxious and insecure in his role as the pack leader. Cesar immediately begins to work on building a bond with Duke, using a calm, assertive energy to communicate to Duke that he is in charge. Cesar also identifies some underlying issues that may be contributing to Duke's behavior, such as a lack of exercise and mental stimulation.

Cesar suggests a few simple changes that the family can make to help Duke feel more secure and happy. For example, he recommends taking Duke for a long walk every day to help him release energy, and spending more one-on-one time with him to build trust and confidence. Cesar also recommends some basic obedience training exercises, such as sit, stay, and come, to help Duke understand his role in the family and his responsibilities.

As Cesar continues to work with Duke over the course of several weeks, the family begins to see a remarkable transformation in Duke's behavior. He becomes more relaxed and less anxious, and his aggression towards family members gradually fades away. Cesar emphasizes the importance of consistency and patience as the family continues to reinforce the training and structure that he has put in place.

In the end, Duke becomes a much-loved member of the family, and the family thanks Cesar for his life-changing work with their beloved pet. The episode ends with a message of hope and encouragement for families struggling with similar issues, reminding them that with the right training and support, any dog can become a happy, healthy, and well-behaved member of the family.
