《狗语者Dog Whisperer》中文介绍
《Dog Whisperer》是美国国家地理频道收视率最高的节目，尤其是爱狗人士强力推荐的必看节目。所谓的“Dog Whisperer”，指的就是可以与狗对话的人，在本节目中这个可以与狗对话的大师叫做恺撒·米兰(Cesar Millan)，他不但可以将那些狗主人拿它没辄的问题犬一一导回正途，更可以透过他帮助狗主人和爱犬进行沟通，无论是咆哮不停的美国猎犬，还是目光凶恶的狮子狗，只要来到Cesar Millan面前，就会立即安静下来。透过本节目，可以发现其实常常真正需要Millan帮助的不是行为异常的狗，而是它们的主人。 所以当狗主们遇到问题时，米兰通常是他们最后的希望。《Dog Whisperer》大多数节目都在问题狗求助者家里或附近拍摄，除非一些极端案例，Millan就会带回心理中心研究。
