Continuing the sixth season of Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan heads to Australia, a country with nearly 400 million dogs, for two special episodes. This is the first time Dog Whisperer has filmed outside the United States.
“I was amazed that even on the other side of the world, many of the dog problems are the same as here in the U.S.,” said Millan. “The owners may have a different accent, but they still need to be trained!”
The first of the two Australia episodes premieres Monday, December 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT (with an encore Friday, January 1, at 9 p.m. ET/PT), bookending National Geographic Channel’s Dog Whisperer Week, which includes back-to-back favorite episodes from 8 to 10 p.m. ET/PT every night, December 28 through January 1. The following week, Dog Whisperer: Cesar in Oz premieres Friday, January 8, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
In these special Aussie episodes, Cesar spends three weeks traveling across the Australian continent, from Sydney to Perth to Melbourne to Brisbane, seeking dogs of all breeds needing rehabilitation — and finding many owners in need of training. In the first episode, Dog Whisperer: Cesar Goes Down Under, Cesar helps three dogs:
- Willow, a massive Great Dane, whose persistent jumping and biting tend to go way beyond “play,” particularly during runs through Australia’s massive sand dunes. Next,
- Bnnie, a 4-year-old bearded collie bonnie whose unpredictable aggression has crushed her family’s dreams of enjoying the dog park
- Jack, a 17-month full-sized French mastiff weighing a whopping 150 pounds. Jack’s owner fears the aggressive mastiff is going to hurt someone, and is in desperate need of Cesar’s expertise to help her stop Jack from jumping, biting and harassing visitors.
Dog Whisperer: Cesar in Oz continues with Cesar in Australia facing these challenges:
- Sydney, a 9-year-old Weimaraner who was attacked by a man on a postie motorbike, the vehicles used by Australian mail carriers. The incident turned Sydney aggressive against posties or anyone riding one of the motorized red postie delivery bikes.
- Vincent, a 4-year-old shar-pei who has a thirst for blood, attacking other dogs and his owner
- Astro, an Australian red cattle dog who barks incessantly at the oddest activities, including making the bed, riding a bike or carrying an object out of the house.
