Canine Intervention

Cesar Millan is more engaging and educational. However, I like Jas and his methods. He just isn't as polished as Cesar.

There is someone reviewing the show multiple time with brand new accounts on IMDB. You can tell it is the SAME person/people writing the reviews. They are calling his methods abusive. His methods are NOT abusive. I use these methods with all my dogs and my dogs are happy, healthy, and better behaved than any dogs I know. I am sure the reviewers are somehow related to PETA. They ruined Cesar Millan's television career and now they are trying to do the same with Jas. D**k hea*s.

Redemption, consistency, strong boundaries, compassion, treats/praise/play! And so much more about how to be in the world, be you Dog or Human. Jas' heart for his life's work is so present, in every episode. And if you love dogs.... you cannot help but love seeing them transform.

Was excited to see Netflix had made a dog training show.. Then I watched it and saw the incorrect, outdated, cruel and nonscientific ways of Jas.. It is sad to see, that even though we have made amazing progress, he continues to refer to terms like Pack leader and dogs being disrespectful.... It seems as though he has no scientific grasp on what dogs are, their behavior or how to respectfully interact with them.. Should be cancelled and pulled of the air asap!

Was pleasantly surprised to see that this is an actual trainer training actual protection/obedience dogs.

This man professionally trains dogs for bite work, so please do not think watching this show makes you fit to begin protection training with your dog 🙃

This man seems very capable and I would take a course or clinic with him in a heartbeat. Also lacks a lot of the stupid useless drama like you see in series like "it's me or the dog" with Victoria Stilwell. I will happily take this show over her any day.

Updated note: Go ahead and train shame all you want folks. At the end of the day, the reason you are a keyboard hero and are taking the time trolling review sites is because YOU AREN'T ACTUALLY OUT THERE MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I have seen this time and time again from so many of these "positive reinforcement only" trainers.

Positive reinforcement training should have a place in any training routine and is very successful. For these trainers that slam anyone who uses negative reinforcement in any way, in the majority of experiences I have had, you are trying to make money off of people and offering them very little... and costing dogs their lives.

I once heard one of these so called "trainers" tell their client that their puggle "would never need to be within 6 feet of another dog anyways" adding to this woman's hopelessness in her situation. Or how about the other the other one who piped on to me about the scientifically correct methods and a month later their cattle dog (who was having trouble controlling his herding instincts with people) was dead because "he couldn't be fixed". I'm so over it.

Our local animal shelter (who offers an aggressive dog rehabilitation program) got two strong breed dogs in exhibiting dominance and fear aggression. They were automatically labelled as "dangerous". The shelter called my friend and trainer because they were too scared of them and needed someone else to step in and take them on... oh but don't worry... they continued to train shame this trainer's methods to anyone who would listen. At the end of the day, they say it for PR reasons to appease the uneducated... because they cannot walk the walk.

All of the trolls who are taking the time out of their day to slam people like this fellow are just insecure about themselves and their methods and are trying to find another way to build themselves up and gain control... which leads to bullying and reactivity. Sound familiar? Thats right. They are just insecure, unbalanced, fear aggressive dogs in human form. Their methods supposedly only work on one species and using negative reinforcement on people is the only way to get their point across. Makes so much sense, right?

If you are an exclusively positive reinforcement trainer that IS actually taking these extreme behavioural cases and are able to make a difference, good on you and keep up the good work! I am not shaming YOU, because that's not what is needed to ensure every dog has a happy and safe home in this world. I am shaming the shaming. I am making that correction on all of those unstable, reactive individuals who are trying to tear people down to build themselves up. Because that is the method we use when behaviour like that is exhibited... and it works.

Everybody misses the point of this show. Yes they talk to the owners a lot but there's a good reason for it. 90% of the problems isn't the dogs it's the owners. The owners have no idea how to train the dog. Once they realize they have to be the leader then that fixes most of their problems. I feel this show is more of a basic training for owners who have no idea what they are doing. He's just counselling them and helping them figure out what they are doing wrong. It's a system and a mindset change that he is enforcing.
