Amazon.com If you think your dog has behavioral problems， you’ll feel better after watching 10 minutes of Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan’s hard-luck cases. The smashing success of Millan’s National Geographic Channel series is due partly to that feeling of relief--that no matter how bad your own dog’s behavior， by and large， it’s not nearly as bad as Millan’s clients’; it’s kind of like Nanny 911， but with dogs. Millan is also a telegenic， confident animal handler， whose basic message is reinforced in virtually every case: Don’t treat your dog like a human; treat him like a dog， and be the alpha dog of your own household/pack. This canine golden rule applies to all kinds of doggie nut jobs: crazy little Chihuahua NuNu， who bites everyone but his owner; big sweetie-pie Great Dane Kane， whose puppy mishap sliding on a slick floor has made him terrified to walk on tile or linoleum; Brooks， who spins in circles trying to re-create a game involving looking for a laser light; and Maya the pitbull mix， who’s sweet-tempered enough to let a kitten ?nurse? on her nightly， but who tears apart her household a dozen times a day. One of Millan’s most amazing success stories in this 26-episode series involves Churchill， a Rottweiler-shepherd mix who’s docile and loving at home， but literally tries to attack all other dogs and even bites a neighbor， thus ending up on the brink of doggie death row. But within 15 minutes， Millan’s calm confidence， and gentle but firm application of tugs on a well-angled leash have Churchill passing and sitting near a strange dog placidly. Extras include some outtakes， footage of Millan’s beloved wife and kids， and a hilarious ?audition? tape， in which owners with their unhinged dogs are telling an off-camera producer why their pet should be considered for the show. All the while， the dogs are pacing， whining， refusing to budge and otherwise providing a lot of unintended amusement. --A.T. Hurley
