Cesar Millan is the popular dog behavior expert who hosts National Geographic's The Dog Whisperer. In the game, you can follow his instructions on how to deal with and correct different behavioral problems. In order to be calm and submissive, dogs must follow Cesar's regimen of exercise, discipline and affection.

You start out with six different tutorials on how to interact with the dogs. With 34 dogs with differing problems, you can monitor their activity and personality meters as you go on walks, rollerblading and feed them. You can correct when a dog is acting too excited, fearful, or dominant. If your actions are working, you will see each meter is in the green zone. You can yank its leash, shush it to sit, or rub its head or belly to encourage it. At times, Cesar will provide advice if you are not doing something correctly. The game is also interspersed with educational quiz questions. [source:mobygames]
