[quote=Anonymous]Same reason Ferber went out when "gentle parenting" came in, which is also why FAFO parenting is coming in as gentle parenting leaves: Trends shift.

The latest trend is pet "behaviorists", a newer profession that claims to have some scientific backing, but doesn't have the science and facts to really back any claims of superiority. People fall all over themselves to accept medical authority and veterinary medicine is mastering how to capitalize on that. "gentle" methods make people feel good, but they're not always the most effective.

Cesar Milan isn't a vet, doesn't have a behaviorist credential, and doesn't meet the same "vibe check" that's currently trending. He has more aggressive methods, and preaches an out-of-fashion pack dynamic model. Mostly, he's just old news.

At some point, everything old will be new again and we'll cycle back to similar training methods to his. A good trainer uses whatever method(s) work. Any trainer, vet, breeder, etc. preaching the gospel of one, limited modality should be considered a red flag.[/quote]
