Cesar Millan Offers ‘Dog Whispering’ Tips To Obama

By Michael Lopez

He’s helped the pets of Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith, and now ‘Dog Whisperer’ Cesar Millan, has some input for the most powerful pooch in the country. When speaking with CBS’ Lesley Stahl, Milan offered some tough love for Bo, the family canine of the Obama household.

Viewing a picture of Barack Obama and his large, curly Portuguese Water Dog, Cesar disagreed with the walking stance the President was taking.

"Day one was not a good scene. The dog always in front of the president of the United States. If your dog doesn't learn how to follow, you'll never have a disciplined pet."

Originally given to the Obamas as a gift from the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Bo has gotten plenty of media attention in his one year (or seven dog years) of life. He’s got his own Wikipedia page, been covered in dozens of news articles, and seems to be greatly adored by First Daughters, Malia and Sasha.

But does Bo have too much power in the White House? According to Cesar, it’s not uncommon for the Presidential dogs to assert authority from their famous masters. When speaking about George W. Bush and his dog, Barney, Millan said:

“He walked the dog in front. Barney? Sometimes he didn't want to go inside the helicopter!”

Perhaps it’s time to tighten that leash!
