Cesar Millan, born in 1969 in Mexico, developed a deep understanding of dog psychology while growing up on his grandfather’s farm. At 21, he moved to the U.S. and quickly recognized that many dog behavioral issues stemmed from humans treating pets like people. His unique training approach, focusing on balanced leadership and pack dynamics, gained attention, leading to the acclaimed television series THE DOG WHISPERER WITH CESAR MILLAN, and BETTER HUMAN, BETTER DOG. As his influence grew, he established the Dog Psychology Center, a 43-acre facility in California, offering rehabilitation and training for dogs and their owners. A New York Times bestselling author and three-time Emmy nominee, Cesar has grown into a pop culture phenomenon and a go to for many celebrities, athletes, world leaders, and entrepreneurs. His work has been highlighted in flattering parodies on “South Park” and “Saturday Night Live”; references on popular shows including “Jeopardy!” and “The Colbert Report”; and appearances on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” “Dr. Oz,” “The Today Show,” “The View,” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” among others. Beyond television, his Cesar Millan Foundation supports animal welfare efforts, education, and rescue initiatives. In 2024, Cesar launched his now popular audio and visual Podcast “Walking With Cesar”. In September 2024, Cesar was awarded the coveted Medal of Excellence from the Washington Hispanic Caucus in Washington D.C. 2024 marked his anniversary of 20 consecutive years on U.S. television.
