Cesar to the Rescue II  呼叫西薩狗教官
by Marcus Maurice

A pet is only as bad as its owner.
有其主必有其犬。

  One of the biggest stars in dog training is Cesar Millan. He came from humble beginnings and is now very famous because of his canine expertise. As a matter of fact, there are very few dogs or owners that Millan cannot help out. This month, National Geographic Channel (NGC) presents Cesar to the Rescue II, a show which features Millan tackling some dogs with behavioral issues. First up is a black dog named Misty. The owners are having problems and think the animal may be aggressive. Millan brings his own dog to meet Misty and instead of aggressiveness, Misty shows signs of being insecure. Soon, Millan and the owners go on a short hike around the neighborhood so Millan can give out words of encouragement to help the owners get Misty to feel more secure. Sometimes all that is needed to fix problems is a little bit of advice and a nice walk.
  The next assignment is not as easy when Millan meets Hershey, a chocolate Labrador. The owner is not having problems with his dog, but there are two boxer dogs in the area that are terrorizing people in the neighborhood. Hershey's owner is concerned because his relaxing walks with his pet have now turned into hostile situations when the boxers are out. He even says that they have attacked 15 people in the neighborhood. Fortunately, the owners of the boxers agree to meet Millan and when he sees the combative dogs, he knows he is going to have his hands full. Find out what wisdom the dog whisperer tells the owners of the boxers and much more this month on NGC's Cesar to the Rescue II.

呼叫西薩狗教官
  西薩.米蘭是最大牌的狗狗訓練大師之一。雖然他出身卑微,但現今因為擁有犬科方面的專業知識而相當有名氣。事實上,鮮少有狗狗或狗飼主是米蘭無法協助解決困難的。本月的國家地理頻道播出《呼叫西薩狗教官》單元,這是一個以米蘭搞定有行為問題狗狗為特色的節目。首先上場的是一隻名叫米斯堤的黑狗。牠的飼主正遇到難題,認為牠可能具有攻擊性。米蘭帶著他的狗狗去見米斯堤,米斯堤非但沒有攻擊性,反而顯露出缺乏安全感的跡象。不久,米蘭和該飼主在其住處附近健行一小段路,如此一來米蘭便能說些鼓勵的話,以協助該飼主讓米斯堤感到比較安心。有時候,解決問題所需要的不過是少許建議以及好好走段路罷了。
  下一項任務就沒那麼簡單了,這回米蘭要與赫爾歇這隻深褐色的拉布拉多獵犬碰面。飼主和他的狗狗並沒有相處上的問題,但該地區有兩隻拳師犬會恫嚇社區的民眾。赫爾歇的飼主很擔心,因為他和寵物悠閒的散步,如今會因為那兩隻拳師犬在外頭遊走而轉變為充滿敵意的局面。他甚至提到牠們已攻擊了左鄰右舍十五個人。幸好,那兩隻拳師犬的飼主同意和米蘭見面,而當他看見那兩隻好鬥的狗時,他明白自己將會忙得不可開交。來看看這位狗班長傳授哪些學問給該拳師犬飼主,並一起來了解更多在本月國家地理頻道播放的《呼叫西薩狗教官》單元內容。
