Cesar Millan

Cesar Millan is a Mexican-American dog trainer who became known for rehabilitating aggressive dogs and teaching owners to act as calm, assertive pack leaders. Born in 1969, he grew up on a farm in Sinaloa, Mexico, where his grandfather was a tenant farmer. After moving to the United States he worked at a dog grooming store and later created the Dog Psychology Center in South Los Angeles. A Los Angeles Times profile led to a television pilot, and Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan premiered in 2004 on the National Geographic Channel, became the network's top show in its first season, aired in more than eighty countries and ended in 2012. Cesar 911 followed on Nat Geo Wild, and he created the preschool Nickelodeon show Mutt & Stuff with Sid and Marty Krofft. He also tours with Cesar Millan Live!, and his first three books, among them Cesar's Way, were New York Times best sellers.
