here is a site listing some of the opposition to Millan by various organizations who are against cruel methods of training.
http://beyondcesarmillan.weebly.com/
Millan has been sued a number of times and the making of his so called 'training' series dropped.
In 2013 A panned tour of the UK was 'postponed' in other words cancelled because of widespread opposition to his training methods by canine professionals here. This was the message put out at the time on social media ...
We regret to inform you that the Cesar Millan Live: Trust Your Instincts Tour has been postponed due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts with Mr. Millan’s television obligations and other projects, requiring him to stay in the United States.
All tickets will be refunded to ticket holders from the original point of purchase.
I number of the videos showing his total ineptitude with regard to dog training have been removed for example one showing a lovely bull breed dog which he said was 'dog aggressive' when that was clearly not the case it was just under socialised, over excited and in need of training.
His remedy was to use the outdated method of 'rolling' the dog, pinning it to the ground with the use of force when it reacted to another dog opening it up to becoming fear aggressive because it would now associate the presence of dogs with pain,fear and a negative experience.
There were numerous videos of him forcing terrified dogs to comply with the use of choke chains, in one the dog passes out because its air supply is restricted, other dogs 'close down' their bodies freeze with fear making it impossible for them to learn anything but fear.
He also uses e collars now banned in Wales and many of us have been trying to get them banned here..

Pain and fear should have no part in dog training
This is how to train a dog without the use of fear or pain...
