Ep 7. Duke & Lulu and Sparky

In the seventh episode of season two of the popular television series, Dog Whisperer, renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan is tasked with helping three dogs with various behavioral issues. The three dogs are Duke, Lulu, and Sparky.

Duke, a bulldog, is the first dog that Cesar helps in this episode. Duke is an overweight dog who loves to eat and has become quite lazy. He does not get enough exercise, and as a result, he has become very lethargic, which is worrying his owners. Cesar works with Duke to try and improve his exercise habits, starting with getting him out for regular walks. Cesar also makes some changes to Duke's diet to help him lose some weight. Duke’s owners are amazed at how much energy Duke has now that he is getting enough exercise, and they are delighted that they have been able to help their beloved pet improve his health.

The next dog that Cesar meets is Lulu, an energetic Jack Russell Terrier. Lulu has an issue with barking and jumping on people, which her owners find very frustrating. Cesar suggests that Lulu could benefit from some training, and he shows her owners how to establish some ground rules and boundaries for Lulu. Cesar demonstrates several techniques that they can use to help Lulu learn to behave more calmly, including some exercises to help keep the dog's focus on her owner. Cesar helps Lulu's owners learn how to be better pack leaders for Lulu, and they are thrilled that they can now enjoy their pet without worrying about her bad behavior.

Finally, Cesar meets Sparky, a sweet but anxious Golden Retriever. Sparky's owners are concerned that he is too timid and nervous, and they want him to be more outgoing and confident. Cesar works with Sparky to help him overcome his fears and to develop more self-confidence. He uses some exercises to help Sparky learn to trust his owners and to feel more relaxed around other people and dogs. Cesar also teaches Sparky's owners how to use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, as well as showing them how to set boundaries for their pet. Sparky's owners are amazed at the transformation in their dog, and they are grateful to Cesar for helping them to better understand their pet's needs.

Overall, this episode of Dog Whisperer highlights Cesar Millan's expertise and his ability to work with dogs of all breeds and temperaments.
