Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack

by Marcus Maurice

If you could whisper to a dog, what would you say?

　　Even at a young age, Cesar Millan had a way with dogs. As a matter of fact, when he was growing up on a farm in Mexico, he was called el Perrero, which means the dog boy in Spanish. At the age of 21, Millan illegally crossed the border into the US without knowing a word of English. He started working as a groomer and mostly handled the aggressive dogs. He has come a long way since then and is now one of the most famous dog trainers in the world. His books on dog training have sold more than two million copies, and he has a host of celebrity friends that turn to him for advice, including Oprah Winfrey and Jada Pinkett Smith. His nickname now is the Dog Whisperer because of the way he can help difficult and struggling animals.

　　This month on National Geographic Channel, Millan takes on troubled dogs on Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack. In one of the episodes, Millan meets Rosie, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that has been in and out of shelters. Because of this, Rosie has developed some bad habits. Millan's goal is to get her to overcome these issues so that she can be adopted. Three families are tested by Millan to see which one she fits best with.

　　Dora is another troubled dog. She's small, but since she has been spoiled, she attacks all other dogs, regardless of their size. This could be dangerous for her one day because she might get hurt. Millan sets out to find Dora a master that has the confidence to help her have a better, safer life. Catch Millan and all of his four-legged friends in Cesar Millan's Leader of the Pack this month.

 

狗班长选狗窝

如果你能对狗狗说悄悄话，你会说些什么呢？

　　即使在年幼时，西萨．米兰就对狗狗很有一套。事实上，他在墨西哥的一座农场里长大时，被称为 el Perrero，即西班牙语中『驯狗达人』的意思。米兰二十一岁时，非法越过边境进入美国，当时他一句英文也不懂。他最初是一位宠物美容师，而且主要是处理一些好斗的狗狗。从那时候起，他已有了长足的进步，而现在已是全球最知名的驯狗师之一了。关于他训练狗的著作，已销售两百多万册，而且他有一大堆名人朋友来向他咨询讨教，其中包括了欧普拉．温芙蕾以及洁达．苹姬．史密斯。由于米兰的方式能帮助不易相处及好斗的狗狗，所以他的绰号现在就叫『可与狗狗对话的人（狗班长）』。

　　在这个月的国家地理频道《狗班长选狗窝》节目中，米兰接下了这些行为有问题的狗狗。在其中一集，米兰遇见了萝西，这只史丹佛郡斗牛犬频频进出收容所。这让萝西养成了一些坏习惯。米兰的目标就是让她戒除这些问题，好让她能被收养。米兰对三个家庭作了些测试来了解哪一个家庭最适合萝西。

　　朵拉是另一只麻烦的狗狗。她体型很小，但因为她已被宠坏了，不管其他狗狗的体型大小，她都会攻击对方。这对朵拉来说可能会很危险，也许哪一天就会受伤。米兰打算为朵拉找一位有自信的主人帮助她拥有一个更好、更安全的生活。看看这个月在《狗班长选狗窝》中，米兰以及其四脚朋友们的故事吧。
