Cesar's Tips for the Recession
July 2009 Issue 2
Cesar Millan Greetings,

Right now, many dog caretakers are struggling to make ends meet due to the recession. In this newsletter, we are offering some tips to help you and your canine companion get through this rough time.

Remember, even if you can no longer provide fancy toys and treats, those things don't hold the same value to your dog that they do to a human. What your dog cares about is you and your family. If you've lost your job, focus on the relationships in your life that matter most. Connect with your children, siblings, friends, parents, and, of course, your dogs! Feeling uncertain about what to do with all this free time? Take a break from the job search to take your dog on a nice, long walk or visit a nearby dog park.

If you are considering adopting a dog, I ask you to examine whether this decision is right for you at this time. A dog can be a wonderful and uplifting presence in your house, but you need to make this decision for the right reasons. If you're feeling lonely or hopeless and looking for someone to lean on, this might not be the time to adopt. Make sure you are emotionally and financially able to be a dog's calm assertive pack leader before you make this commitment.

If you're not ready, that doesn't mean you have to deny yourself a relationship with a dog. You don't need money to have that. Foster a dog. Help a neighbor. Become a regular volunteer at a shelter or rescue. Keep adopting a dog on your "to do" list for later.

Our president has encouraged us to reach out to others in this recession, and I could not agree more! This is the perfect time to give back to our communities. If you are still doing well financially, find time to reach out to loved ones and neighbors who are struggling. If you are out of a job, volunteering can be a good way to network and fight the blues.

I truly believe that the more you give, the more comes your way!

Stay calm and assertive,

Cesar Millan

Recession-Proof Your Dog - 11 Tips
Owning or adopting a dog can be expensive under any circumstances. Between the price of food, medical expenses, pet paraphernalia, training, and boarding, monthly budgets can shoot skyward with the addition of a four-legged friend to the household. But even in this time of economic crisis, you can still find ways to care for your loyal companion without breaking the bank!

1.) Medical expenses 䴋 If money becomes scarce, unexpected medical issues can present quite a problem. But just as you might take out an insurance plan for yourself or other family members, pet health insurance can help you carefully budget ahead of time the money that will go toward day-to-day healthcare, as well as any unforeseen problems that might arise in the future.

2. Grooming 䴋 If you don't already have a groomer you trust, consider checking local shelters or youth programs that may hold "Pet Washes" as fundraisers. And when push comes to shove, a bath at home followed by a towel dry and...

Seeing is Believing

Cesar Millan's success with unbalanced dogs on Dog Whisperer can sometimes seem too good to be true. In some cases, when a dog's energy and behavior begin to improve the moment he steps on the scene, fans will write in to say that they can scarcely believe their own eyes. So, to get at the truth behind Cesar's remarkable talent, we asked our own eyes 䴋 professional cameraman Chris Komives.
