Dog Whisperer

Fear of Dogs (4x26)

:

Cesar meets to work with a man who was attacked by a dog when he was ten. His subsequent fear of dogs was affecting both his real estate work as well as his family's ability to have a dog. Ernesto shares honestly, how his cultural upbringing in Mexico affected his view of how dogs only belonged outside the home, and combined with his mind-numbing fears, had been paralyzed by fears, whenever he found himself facing a client's dog, or even passing one behind fences, when walking in his neighborhood. Cesar helps Ernesto confront his fears, walking him through the issues, one step at a time. Then Cesar helps Ernesto and his family find that perfect adoptable dog fit, from how to look at and meet dogs in shelters to assessing how a dog fits in best for ALL family members, even the young boys! The astonishing ending shows an unusual spin, as Cesar's boys become involved with the final choice of dog adoption.
