The Dog Whisperer

(1/3) > >>

Dave in Tenn:
I went years without watching TV at all.  I still don't find much worth watching on there. 

But Cesar Millan has become a hero to me, and I find myself almost always reminded of Scripture watching and learning on that show.  It's easy for me to see myself as the aggressive, fearful, or otherwise troubled dog who our Lord, with wisdom, patience and personal knowledge of our humanity (dogness) brings into a calm, submissive life.

Yeah, not all parallels run exactly, but for me right now, this is the most spiritual hour on TV.  Beats anything on TBN.

Dave, you are so right! That is so true of the Dog Whisperer! I have always been impressed with his 'calm submissive state' for dogs, but this is true of humans too! With anyone we deal with being calm and in control..that's how Jesus teaches us to be..My husband yells a lot and has almost zero tolerance for most things.. ::) I told a friend once that "Well the 'soft answer turneth away wrath' thing doesn't work at my house!" She said, "Kathy, maybe your soft answer turns away YOUR wrath and not his!" Ha! that struck me pretty funny! But you know I've noticed that principle work with Cesar Milan, I have seen the man bitten by nervous and even mean dogs, but he doesn't lash out he calmly stands his ground, that is such a good example to us! You know he says his grandfather taught him how to treat animals! What a great example for life! Jesus teaches us to be meek and lowly in heart..this doesn't mean we crawl under a rug! I heard it said once that meekness is "Power under control" Wow!! It works on so many levels! Thanks for reminding me of that, Dave!  :D
Kathy ;)

cesar millan rocks! i watch his show often because i have three dogs. you can definitely apply many spiritual principals to the things he teaches about dogs, epsecially his idea that you have to approach a dog first as the animal that it is, then you can look at the specifics such as breed or name. as humans, it is beneficial to look at ourselves first as the beast that is inside our minds, then from there we can deal with whatever specifics we are dealing with.


God the Father is most definitely the Pack Leader!

Great thread!  My dogs are my "kids", and it's very encouraging to see that maybe the relationship I enjoy with them can help grow some good fruit.   Thanks so much you guys.
