If Cesar Millan had been born in China, no one would have
ever heard of him. Why? Because Chinese people are awesome at training their
dogs to behave properly. There is no need for the Dog Whisperer here. Every
Chinese person appears to have his exact same set of skills innately.
On my walk home from work, I often pass an old man with his
pet Chow. I’ll call them Old Man and Chow because I don’t know their actual
names. Anyway, Old Man never puts Chow on a leash. He just carries this big,
bamboo looking stick which he uses to tap the ground to give Chow commands. I
don’t know the code but, it seems like Chow never disobeys.
I’ve seen other Chinese people do similar things with their
dogs. Older men seem to favor the stick and tap method. Another method involves
the use of hand signals to give commands todogs. I’ve also seen people use
sounds, like whistles, to give commands.
Dogs are really popular pets in China. Many of my neighbors
have dogs of all sizes and breeds. Almost every single one of their dogs is
well behaved and obedient, even without the use of a leash. I have no how idea Chinese
people accomplish this but, they do. It’s a good thing Cesar Millan is in the
US because, in China, he’d be unemployed.
Chow looks just like this. I'd pet him if his breed didn't have a violent reputation.

Man do you need to open your eyes and look just a bit closer. 50-70 thousand people get bit every single year just in Beijing alone! Along with countless amount of puppies dieing from Parvo and Distemper because the lack of simple vaccination knowledge. Well-behaved? Chinese people train theirs dogs using one method...punishment and abuse (what do you think the stick is for) Why do you think the dogs listens so well to the tap and stick movement...because he has been beaten by it countless times in the past, this is called fear and intimidation training. This professional observation comes from an American who has been living and working in Beijing for the last 5 years as a Canine Behaviorist/Dog Trainer who also has 20 years experience working with dogs and their handlers.

Thanks for your comment. Clearly, you know a lot more about this than I do. I was simply making an observation on the behavior of the dogs. I don't know anything about their methods. Also, I've never seen anyone hit their dog before so, I didn't mention it.
DeleteThanks again!
