CESAR MILLAN - the "Dog Whisperer" in Costa Rica & Pets Y Mas Pet Expo • Expo Mascota - January 28, 2012

CESAR MILLAN - the "Dog Whisperer"
in San Jose, Costa Rica

WHAT:  Cesar Millan in Costa Rica – A SASY! FUN raiser!!

WHEN:  Saturday, January 28 - 8pm-midnight

WHERE:  San Jose - the new National Stadium / Estadio Nacional 

BENEFIT:  SASY (hence spread amongst numerous organizations)


Costa Rica's Estadio Nacional (National Stadium) will go to the dogs, literally, on Saturday January 28, 2012, when the Dog Whisperer himself, Cesar Millan, will take centre stage, where he will takes dogs whose owners have behaviour problems with them.


BEFORE THIS SHOW
EXPO MASCOTA  •  PET EXPO 
In front of the new National Stadium during the day (before the Cesar Millan show) -
Pets y Mas - PetsYMas.com
will have a stands giving away 20 Datamars microchips!
Sábado 28 de enero, frente del Estadio Nacional durante el día, antes del Show de César Millán. Pets y más estará con un stand, esperándolos. Entre todos los que se arrimen al stand, regalaremos 20 microchips Datamars y muchas revistas y una revista con AUTOGRAFO de César Milán. No pueden faltar!!


By now most of you have probably heard that Cesar Millan, the famous Dog Whisperer (aka el Encantador de Perros) will be making his first-ever appearance in Latin America. Working in cooperation with the event promoter, RPMTV/Xtreme Family Entertainment, SASY! has negotiated the opportunity to sell tickets to our friends and supporters and retain a portion of the proceeds to help fund SASY! spay and neuter programs.

Millan fells there are no "bad dogs", only bad owners/masters. To share the spotlight Millan will bring his own pack from to show Costa Rican dog owners what is possible.

Prior to his "The Dog Whisperer" series, Millan had focused on rehabilitating especially aggressive dogs and had founded the Dog Psychology Centre in South Los Angeles.  Millan's first 3 books, including Cesar's Way, all became New York Times best sellers, have cumulatively sold 2 million copies in the United States and are available in 14 other countries.  

Part of Cesar's philosophy is that dogs need jobs, otherwise this leaves them bored, unfulfilled and act out. He has even created a special dog backpack (which he sells on his website for $59.98) to help your dog in his work.

In Costa Rica dog abandonment is a serious problem that is not addressed. Stray dogs or "zaguates" can be seen everywhere from the inner city of San José to the groomed parks of Rohrmoser.

February to April are the months with more dog abandonment, as the Christmas puppies now are starting to grow, demand more attention and time and costly to maintain. Some do not consider that large dog breeds start out small and quickly, within a few months, grow to pretty close their adult size.

These dogs - still puppies really - are fast left behind by their owners and many of them have tragic endings.

The Dog Whisperer event in Costa Rica is being sponsored by RPM-TV.

In addition to his hit series, broadcast on Nat Geo Wild in the U.S. and on Animal Planet in Latin America, the self-taught Mexican-American Millan has written several books on dog training and has toured around the world. Millan has something of a cult following among dog owners and has used his behavior techniques to help the dogs of celebrities Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith.

According to RPMTV Media Manager Juan Carlos Peña, Millan will talk about how to have a good, balanced, healthy pet at the Jan. 28 show. This includes mental health; Millan considers this one of the fundamental principles of owning a pet. Using his own dogs, Millan will demonstrate what constitutes good habits and correct conduct. To show how to modify dog behavior, Millan will use dogs from Costa Rica with behavior issues, and offer solutions.
