A Dog Whisperer Speaks

Cheri Lucas, trained animal behaviorist and original protégé of National Geographic's The Dog Whisperer, has a very unique gift: she has command of the silent, subtle, yet powerful physical language of canines—but more importantly, she can communicate her insights to humans. Cheri brings to an audience of often desperate, confused, and frustrated pet owners a message that is finally loud and clear--and full of hope. Her engaging style will propel your audience into high gear, as they realize that they are actually capable of having the relationship they’ve always longed for with their dogs. Literally watch as the light bulb goes on around the room and guests see the light at the end of the kennel.

For the past ten years, Cheri has learned first-hand from good friend and mentor Cesar Millan, who broadcasts the message of hope to thousands of thankful viewers of The Dog Whisperer. At seminars and public appearances, Cheri presents the same life-changing and impacting message to her audiences that Millan once brought to her. Through clear, concise, and enlightening demonstrations and effective question and answer periods, she is able to connect with viewers on a personal level, addressing their unique challenges and reassuring them that their case is not hopeless.

Bringing a keen, critical eye to her work, Cheri is able to see where owners misstep and how to correct behaviors to achieve the desired results. She shows her audience that the philosophy and techniques she teaches are the natural, instinctual principles that have governed dog behavior for thousands of years. Rather than presenting an unattainable power of “dog whispering,” Cheri teaches people to see their dogs as the animals they are, and thus unleashes a power that exists within each dog owner. Her ability to reframe challenges and reveal the basic root of seemingly hopeless obstacles allows listeners to leave with immediately relevant and applicable information.

Cheri understands what motivates and inspires typical dog owners to achieve breakthrough results with their dogs. She gives her audience the necessary tools for them to break free from the old habits and beliefs that lead to continued failure or mediocre success.

Here are just a few of the things you can expect your audience to learn to do:

* DISCOVER their dogs' true needs and desires.

* LET GO of past experiences and beliefs about their dogs.                 

* LEARN the tools and techniques necessary to achieve success.

Testimonials:

“Cheri, what an absolutely terrific program! Comprehensive,

articulate, easy to understand, and to the point. I wish

every person who speaks in public could have been there

today taking notes on your delivery. And it sure hit home

with a lot of people - everybody walking out the door with

me was talking about dogs.”

“How can I thank Cheri, who literally changed my life?  I am a lawyer,

constantly looking around every corner to find the liability and how I might

get sued.  I had the bad fortune of being cursed with a Jack Russell

“terrorist” who found it necessary to try to kill any other animal in his path.

So you can imagine the fun I had taking my high energy JRT for walks, which

this breed desperately needs to relieve excess energy if you want to sleep

at night.  It was a constant stress, knowing my JRT needed his walks, but

fearful that at any moment some dog off-leash or other animal might cross

his path (lawsuit:).  I was desperate.  I really didn't think that anyone could fix

my boy, Jack.  But being desperate, I decided to give Cheri, Cesar's protégée,

a try.  How do I thank Cheri?  Well, I probably really never can.  My JRT

is a changed boy.  And, I am a changed dog-owner.  What I didn't realize is

how much my energy and actions impacted the way my JRT reacted in every

situation.  I am now one big ALPHA with him, and not the other way around.

I really cannot express in words (unusual for an attorney:) the relief of

actually taking my dog out for a walk and not being stressed out over what

he might do that might result in a lawsuit.  Cheri is quite simply a miracle

in my life, and I am eternally grateful to her.  She is dedicated to her cause of rehabilitating dogs, and so sacrificial in doing so, and it is just an honor and a

blessing to have landed in her path.  For the millionth time, Cheri, thank you.”
