I was just noticing that every person on "The Dog Whisper" Is white. Why is it so hard for white people to do basic training?
White Anglo Saxon here. I know how to train my dog.
I’d imagine the Dog Whisperer, as previously said, simply doesn’t actively seek out non-whites. They get their "pick me I want to be on TV" submissions, pick the TV-worthy ones (in the network’s opinion), and go from there. I’ve seen people of every race on the show. I think you’re reading too far into it. Just because it isn’t coinciding with the actual racial demographic statistics doesn’t mean everybody else somehow knows how to train their dog, it means white people obviously account for the highest percentage of story submissions to the show.

That’s just because black people don’t give a damn weather their dog pisses all over the place or runs away constantly, they just tie them up in the backyard and be done with it. White people care..

There is nothing wrong with white people a lot of times its the dog.Or it’s because the owner isn’t responsible enough.

Nataschit-
You are a f’kn idiot.
The reason you see white people on the dog whisperer is because they don’t seek out other races for the show. Period. MOST people don’t know how to train their dogs–whatever color they are.

Sorry, but as a Caucasian woman, I know how to train my dog. He’s trained better than my fiance is, lol.
Could it just be that it’s mainly white people who apply and get accepted for the show? I personally don’t watch the show too much because of the fact that whatever I’ve seen on his show were things that seemed almost like common sense. I have seen one show where it involved an African-American couple, though.
Not targeting any specific race, the people who go on the show are mainly people who don’t spend the actual time to train the dog, and I often wonder how many of the dogs go back to doing what they were doing before Cesar Millan came along.

The only bad dog trainers are the one’s who don’t care about what their dogs do just like some people are bad parents when they let their kids run wild without discipline.

Because black people are N*****s and don’t give a shit, they only get dogs because they think they look badass with pits, that they buy and then they don’t want them after they realize they poop, pee, and that they cost money.
I’ve seen some hispanics on dog whisperer though, not just whites. ha.

grow up
It is not the colour of the person it is the person themselves.
I am "white" and my dog is very well trained

I can’t remember the last time I saw a black person in the obedience ring where the stiffest kind of training is taught.

Well, sorry, but you are wrong. You missed some episodes.
There have blacks (was one Queen Latifah? with? Boerbals?) as well as Latinos (one family with a problem Pit) as well as Orientals (or do we call them Asian now?).
As far as getting into it any further, I will simply state the assumption of your question is wrong also.
