Ep 3. Buddy, Teddy and Matilda

In Dog Whisperer season 2 episode 3, Cesar Millan is introduced to three very different dogs: Buddy, Teddy, and Matilda.

Buddy is a large, high energy dog who loves attention but struggles with listening to his owners and respecting their space. Teddy is a small, anxious dog who barks incessantly and has difficulty settling down. Matilda is a rescue dog with an unknown past, who is fearful and reactive towards other dogs.

Cesar works with each dog and their owners to address their specific issues. With Buddy, he teaches his owners how to establish boundaries and leadership with him. He also helps them understand the importance of incorporating exercise and mental stimulation into his daily routine.

For Teddy, Cesar helps his owners understand the root cause of his anxiety and implements positive reinforcement techniques to help him calm down and learn to relax.

With Matilda, Cesar works on building her confidence and trust while also addressing her reactivity towards other dogs. He helps her owners understand how to read her body language and work on desensitizing her to other dogs in a controlled environment.

Throughout the episode, Cesar emphasizes the importance of proper training, exercise, and leadership to create a balanced and happy dog. His approach focuses on understanding and fulfilling a dog's natural instincts, rather than trying to suppress them.

By the end of the episode, each dog has made significant progress in their training and behavior. Their owners have gained a deeper understanding of their dogs and the importance of fulfilling their needs, resulting in happier and healthier relationships between each dog and their human family.
