Starting January 7th at 8pm, the Dog Whisperer will be playing on the National Geographic channel. I really enjoy watching Cesar Milan transform “difficult” dogs. The first episode covers “Why Dogs Fight.”

Why would two well-behaved and personable dogs suddenly and violently attack each other?  Cesar reveals how dogs communicate through their energy and body language, to help resolve a potentially disastrous situation.  Two Jack Russell terriers, Ruby and Jinx, have lived together for years but have begun fighting aggressively every time they are anywhere near each other.  Their owner, Sandy Hill, has rearranged her life to keep the two dogs separated at all times.  Sandy believes that if she doesn’t intervene when the dogs start to fight, it will become a battle to the death.

An expert in large farm animals and pets, with a “you name it, and we’ll treat it” attitude, this house-call-making veterinarian has seen it all.  Dr. Pol works 14-hour days to help the diminishing population of family farmers survive by playing an integral role in keeping local farmers’ livestock healthy and in turn, their businesses profitable. He’ll travel across rural Michigan to care for every family pet and head of livestock in need of his expertise and kindness, treating numerous patients, including horses, pigs, cows, sheep, alpacas, goats, cats, dogs and even an occasional reindeer.
