The Project

Cesar Millan achieved global recognition from his TV Show “The Dog Whisperer” which inspired millions of dog owners for over a decade. His message of “Trust, Respect, Love” reached all corners of the globe.

In addition to co-authoring six books, Cesar Millan created numerous instructional DVDs and hosted a popular tv series & online seminars where attendees learned how to apply his extensive knowledge of dog psychology and rehabilitation techniques.

“Sessions with Cesar” website was a comprehensive online platform designed to empower pet owners with knowledge, tools, and resources to enhance their relationship with their furry companions. Inspired by the training methodology of pet expert Cesar Millan, the “Sessions with Cesar” website sought to bring professional-grade pet care advice and training to pet owners worldwide.

The platform offered an extensive array of pet-related information, with a particular focus on dog training and behavior modification. At the heart of this educational content were the various courses and workshops designed to teach “Training Cesar’s Way,” providing pet owners with unprecedented access to Cesar Millan’s wealth of experience and insights in an intimate and in-depth manner.

By exploring humans’ relationships with animals, he opened minds to the belief that finding a calm, confident center can ultimately change the world. With Cesar Millan’s training programs, pet owners could develop and achieve balanced harmony in their relationship with their pets.


The User Experience

The “Sessions with Cesar” responsive website was designed with user-friendliness and engagement in mind. It featured an intuitive, clean interface that made navigation a breeze for pet owners of all tech-savviness levels.

Upon signing up, users were guided through a detailed questionnaire about their pet(s), which helped tailor the platform’s content and recommendations to their specific needs. The customized dashboard presented a personalized feed of articles, video suggestions, and community posts relevant to the user’s interests and their pet’s specific behavior profile.

The learning modules were structured in a progressive manner, allowing users to track their progress and gradually build their pet care skills. Interactive elements such as quizzes, challenges, and virtual rewards kept users engaged and motivated throughout their learning journey. For real-time support, an option to schedule a video consultation with a live expert was also just a few clicks away.

The community features were seamlessly integrated, encouraging users to share their success stories, seek advice, and participate in topical discussions. Regular community challenges and events fostered a sense of belonging and mutual support among pet owners. By combining education, personalization, community, and expert support, the “Sessions with Cesar” website created a holistic and engaging experience that empowered pet owners to provide the best possible care for their beloved companions.

  • It’s important to know some psychology if you want to be a good pet parent. Cesar Millan began his lessons with that information & taught students how to cultivate the calm, assertive energy needed to show their pup the rules, so their pup can thrive.

  • In this multi-part video module, pet parents gained a strong foundation for quickly showing their pup it’s name, how to behave on the leash, and simple commands including sit, down, stand, and come.

  • Students gained a better understanding of the psychology behind strong breeds whether they had one or not. As pet parents, they almost certainly encountered at least one or more strong breeds during common situations in the “pet parent’s life”.

  • Cesar uncovered the basic principles, as they relate to your dog’s physiology. This content showed students why various tools and techniques work better than others. Participants learned what gives them better control of their dog, while at the same time, creating better behaviors!

  • In this module, students discovered Cesar’s simple secrets to eliminating bad behaviors such as jumping up on humans and running away. He used live examples and showed pet parents how to lovingly correct unwanted dog behavior, as the “pack leader” of their dog.

  • Here participants uncovered the many issues their happy puppy needed to understand: from addressing separation anxiety, exercise, games, social interaction, overexcitement and even neutering.
