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.

I never write reviews on this site but I saw so many trolls commenting that I had to give my own 2 cents.

I went into watching this knowing it was going to have reality show qualities. Hello people - this is Netflix. 🙄

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the series as a whole. No we didn't see the exact techniques used for every dog but Jas did an amazing job showing that the owners ultimately control the situation. It's up to them to be the "alpha" ( I can tell a lot of the reviewers were also triggered by this word because they are clearly betas.) I also appreciated the different people they had on, not every pet owner is going to be the same. Regardless of whether you agree with peoples lifestyles or not, this is the reality of the world.

There was never any abuse (as so many of these weird PETA like reviews claim) and the dogs all look extremely happy. In fact. Over and over again you can see positive reinforcement being made with treats in hand.

Overall I believe this show reminds us that owning and training a dog also teaches you to be the better version of yourself. Don't let all the negative reviews on here let you think otherwise.

Canine intervention teaches viewers the responsibility of owners to train their dogs properly rather than labelling a dog bad or dangerous. it additionally shows the life of someone who turned their life around and is making his life mission to give people and animals a second chance. Wholesome show, about real people doing real things.

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.

I've read lots of reviews saying that Jas's training methods are not humane but I really don't get it? As far as I can tell he advocates giving the dogs lots of praise and treats during training. What is bad about that? I've also seen people criticising the theory that dogs are pack animals but surely, whether that is true or not, dogs need boundaries just like children do? I can only assume that either I am missing something from the show or that the people that like to criticise it are the same naive people that think that it's ok to tolerate bad behaviour. Anyway, I loved seeing the dogs becoming happier and calmer, my criticism would be that there's a little too much focus on the trainer and not enough on the dogs. Worth watching though.
