I don’t see Cesar’s techniques as abusive. Of course, what I only see is what’s shown on his videos.
He doesn't know how dogs see the world. Most of what he spreads is complete misinformation. Dominance theory, which is what he spreads, was debunked years ago.

He uses what's called coercive training techniques. It's downright abuse, doesn't matter if you see it thar way or not. Poking, prodding, and other wise manhandling dogs the way he does is abuse and studies have shown it does not improve dog behavior but rather worsens it.

Humans are not dogs and your dog doesn't think you are one. When Cesar tells people to jab their dogs like they are a dog giving a correction, that is simply abuse. When he tells people to do alpha rolls, which do not do anything to improve behavior, it's abuse.

He frequently purposely pushes dogs over threshold so they will bite on camera. Harassing an animal for a reaction because it makes good TV is abuse.

I really implore you to look up some of the trainers I mentioned to see what good, positive reinforcement based, relationship based training and behavior change looks like.

Milan, unfortunately, has done a lot of harm because he looked good on camera and a lot of people liked the idea of "dominating" their dogs.
