Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan at the Bronx Zoo this weekend!
Meet Cesar Millan at the Zoo on June 17
The Dog Whisperer shares his secrets
Cesar Millan, host of National Geographic Channel’s weekly series, Dog Whisperer, has worked for years with yippy Chihuahuas and bad-mannered bulls. Now he’s ready to greet a pack of truly wild dogs, right here at the Bronx Zoo! On June 17, the Dog Whisperer will make a special zoo-call to meet our pack of 20 highly social—and fairly well mannered—African wild dogs. These charismatic canines roam a new open habitat on the zoo’s African Plains, complete with a sand pit for digging and a pond for cooling off in the summer heat. The pack is bound to be as curious about the Dog Whisperer as he is about them!
For the staff of the Bronx Zoo, seeing the world through the eyes of our animals is as important to providing good care as it is for the Dog Whisperer. To help our African wild dogs feel at home in their new habitat, our team of exhibit designers, veterinarians, and zookeepers needed to understand the dogs’ pack dynamic, feeding habits, favorite activities, and the way they rear their young. The zoo staff speaks many languages to communicate with our animals, and just like for Cesar Millan, “dog talk” is one of them!
After meeting our pack, Cesar will speak to zoo visitors about understanding and correcting common problem with pet dogs. Two presentations will be followed by Q&A sessions and book signings of Cesar’s Way. Books are available for purchase at Somba Village and the Bronx Zoo Store.

Please note that this event is for people only, and no pets are permitted in the park at any time.

Re: Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan at the Bronx Zoo this weekend!
YIKES!
I had no idea.
I have no interest in Cesar Milan, but my sister is obsessed with him.
That's awful, if it's true. I know my sis took her dog to a trainer and some of the things he propsed I felt amounted to cruelty, and when told to owners who really don't know any better, can really open the door to curelty.
