In season 4 episode 4 of Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, titled "Cat Worshipper," Cesar is called in to help a couple who have recently introduced a puppy into their home with three cats. However, the problem isn't with the cats and the puppy, but rather with one particular cat, Aria, who seems to have issues with not being the center of attention anymore.
The couple explains to Cesar that they used to dote on Aria and give her all of their attention before getting the puppy. Now that the puppy is around, Aria has become very possessive of her owners and acts out aggressively towards the puppy and even the other cats in the household. They are worried about the safety of the other animals and want to find a way for everyone to coexist peacefully.
Cesar observes Aria's behavior and quickly realizes that the root of the problem is the couple's constant worshiping of the cat. He explains to the couple that in order for all of the animals to get along, they need to establish clear boundaries and show equal attention and affection to all of them.
Throughout the episode, Cesar works with the couple to teach them how to properly introduce the animals to each other and set boundaries for Aria. He also works on retraining Aria's behavior through leadership exercises and teaching her that she doesn't always need to be the center of attention.
By the end of the episode, the couple is amazed at the progress that all of the animals have made. Aria is no longer aggressive towards the puppy and is playing nicely with the other cats. The couple has also learned the importance of treating all of their animals equally and establishing clear boundaries to prevent any further issues.
Overall, "Cat Worshipper" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the importance of proper animal training and the power of positive reinforcement. Cesar's strategies and techniques could help other animal owners who are struggling with integrating new animals into their households or dealing with possessive behavior.
