Martin Deeley

Yes, there does exist a number of professionals who get along fine with Cesar.

One of them is Martin Deeley who owns (or co-owns) the International School for Dog Trainers. On the site, there's an interesting photo with Martin along with Wendy Volhard, Brother Christopher, and Ian Dunbar. All smiling. Brother Christopher and Ian Dunbar side-by-side smiling. Who would have thunk it?

Googling Deeley and Dunbar also brings up the International Association of Canine Professionals which Deeley co-founded. Among the members, Bill Campbell, Ian Dunbar, Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson, Martin Deeley, Bash Dibra, Wendy and Jack Volhard, Carol Lea Benjamin, Monks of New Skete, and Cesar Millan. I see Joel Silverman in there too. Looks like mostly "old school".

I see [via dwf] that Martin Deeley has written a book. It's an ebook sold at onlyindie. Only indie is interesting because you get paid by the number of people who buy your book. The first 15 downloads are free. Then the price rises by a penny for every sale. Right now the price is 8 cents which means he's sold 22 copies (at most -- the price lowers if no sale is made in 24 hours). The only thing is you have to spend at least $3 to buy credits so you can buy a book.

Deeley also has a blog (see previous link). One thing I didn't know. Cheri Lucas is the wife of Jerry Lucas the former NBA star. Another neat article was his meeting with Pat Parelli (the horse whisperer that was on Cesar's show). And that they both are friends with Ian Dunbar and Cesar Millan. From his writings, Deeley seems like a good and nice man.
