Cesar Millan's Dog Nation

Cesar and Andre Millan journey down the West Coast to visit with heroes of the canine communities of San Diego. After Cesars live demonstration in downtown San Diego, where hundreds of fans brought their dogs to get real-time take-home tips, Cesar takes Andre to Tijuana, Mexico, to visit with Dog Rescue Without Borders, an organization that works to help lessen the city’s massive stray dog population.

Cesar Millan and his son, Andre, road trip to St. Louis, Missouri to help an organization with a dog that was recently rescued from a puppy mill and shows signs of anxiety around people. Missouri is considered the capital of the puppy mills of the United States, so this story is sadly a common one. The Millans take this opportunity to meet with some local heroes who have been fighting puppy mill abuse.

Cesar and Andre Millan head back to Los Angeles, where they perform a public demonstration of take-home tips for local dog owners at their first-ever evening show, in Rancho Santa Margarita. Next, they visit two dogs rescued from the foreign dog meat trade. First up is Luke, a 1-year-old Australian shepherd mix who growls at everyone. Then the Millans meet Brutus, who has aggression issues.

Cesar and Andre Millan visit Washington, D.C., where Rep. James McGovern and Elliot Russman, CEO of Fidelco Guide Dogs Foundation, are working to provide blind veterans with free guide dogs. The Millans introduce a guide dog to a blinded war veteran for the first time. Then they visit Jay Kohne, an army veteran suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder who is having issues with his service dog.
