Is the dog whisperer a Narc??

Sorry to all the fans, but I'm just testing my detector.
I don't like him; It's not that he's unpleasant, but there's something just off about him.
I was reading his book just now, and he sort of compared the relationship one should have with a dog, to the relationship he has with his wife.
Maybe I'm crazy, don't know. If I am, could you please tell me??

Good point

I am interested in this point of view - because my ex used to ignore my "BAD" behavior and walk away - stare at me an not speak almost as if he could not speak - and ignore any issue that was other than rainbows sunshine and cookies. If I wanted to talk about the kids it was always a good convo - if it was about his job - in a good way - it was good...but the second I would try to broach anything about us in any way he literally stood there never answering. I am not sure he was a N. But he had strong facets of it. In essence what I am saying is he would ignore bad behavior (me discussing problems in the marriage) and reward (engage pleasantly or at leas engage) in conversation that went well. I used to say - and this relates to your question - that my ex would reward my good behavior and ignore my BAD behavior like a dog whisperer. One big difference. I am not a dog. Even on the days I may pee in the house. Its weird but I thought I was the only one who thought about it this way. LOL

Who knows but

If you watch the documentary called "Mine" about displaced Katrina pets, one of whom Millan 'rehabilitated' you might get an idea of whether your theory is possible--but it's more about how the person involved (the dog's original owner) was treated by Millan than the dog.

Well my narc is a dog trainer

Well my narc is a dog trainer and I refer to him as the dog whisperer.. Is ceaser a narc.. Dont know.. He came from nothing and has a very big ego..don't confuse the two.. Personally i enjoy watching him and how he has great in site on life, people and dogs,.. However training a dog requires control and patience.. Personally I have two dogs.. One is as easy as pie.. The other OMG.. I fail every time.. I have had several trainers and only one can can completely control my dog Marley.. I call him marley because is just like that.. Hunter

I have dog too!!

Reason why I was reading his book, he's a puppy still, but I want to be prepared to offer him the best I can. The thing he said in the book sort of shocked me. But the disliking reaction I got, was the same when I saw a video of Sam Vaknin (I didn't know he was a Narc at the time, just someone who helped people out of Narcissistic relationships). That's the reason I'm checking. If he isn't good for him, but have gotten any reactions of this sort??

Used. Haha..Its irrelevant

Used. Haha.. Its irrelevant .. Really.. Just more Hollywood insanity .. Stick to the Dog facts.. Toss the rest.. I do know training a dog takes patience and repetition.. I have zero patience .. The guy that has my dog trained never gives him an inch.. My dog is STUBURN.. My trainer chased him around the house for an hour until Marley listened.. Damn maybe my dog is a Narc.. I wasn't upset.. At first I thought " Shit someone I pushing my buttons, hark hark is it my narc" Hunter
