Don’t tell the dogs but Cesar Millan is becoming a cat whisperer.
“I have two cats for the first time in my life,” he says, and they have a knack for hunting.
“A dog can do funny things, silly things, versus the cat. But before he does that, he does instinctual things.”
Cesar Millan talks to clients in the dog park.
Before hanging out the “cat whisperer” shingle (“I’m still a student,” Millan insists), the veteran dog expert says there are lessons to teach in his area of expertise.
In his series, “Better Human, Better Dog,” which begins its latest season this month, he says humans are often the biggest problem. “A human has a choice – the choice of not doing the homework. I can teach you everything in one day, but you still have to do the homework.”
In the new episodes, Millan deals with many difficult dogs – ones who seem unwilling to comply. Then, he shows their owners what they’re not doing right. Often, it’s a case of not understanding what the dogs need.

“Consciously, we teach the wrong habits,” Millan says.
Cesar Millan shows Ramona and Roman a dog exercise.
If a dog starts jumping on a human, for example, he could be sizing up his territory. The human “isn’t claiming his space. If you’re too soft or too excited, they go right in. If you don’t want them to jump on you, be calm and confident.
