How about when you actually read what they say, they say you shouldn't assert dominance over the dog.
The alternative they post to handle training dogs takes weeks. His method can take 5 minutes.
The kicking he does isn't assertiveness, it's a distraction. Which is why he kicks behind himself and with the heel, not a full blown kick to injure. It's the same kick kids do all the time to pretend it was someone else that kicked the person next to them.

There are two main ways to train an animal; positive reinforcement or using dog psychology like Cesar. Like Coqui said, one takes longer to train-- guess which one and the other is more effective quicker. Plus it gives "rules, boundaries, and limitations" which all dogs require or they become unstable.
I'm sure you're new to this whole dog ownership thing, but we'll help you. You just won't listen like you always don't.
When I used to take care is the borders it was amazing how much we could accomplish in a week of having a dog. We weren't trainers but people would bring dogs of all varieties in, some were great, some liked to bite, some just weren't leash trained, but the biggest pain were the jumpers. Three days of tagging thier back feet or holding out your hand so they jump into it and they wouldn't jump anymore. its nothing that hurt the dogs, but damn it was effective.
Leash training just required dragging a dog around on a choker leash (only thing we used with all dogs actually), some picked it up fast, some were mildly retarded.
The biters were normally good dogs, just not socialized and extremely anxious in a new environment, typically you'd just nudge them in the side towards the back to throw them off balance whenever they got aggressive, along with spending some time with them to get them to relax and they would be fine by the time they went home. Dunno what a humane society would say but the shit worked.
Cats were either nice or complete pricks, nothing to do to train them.

I'm confused. Have you ever watched an episode of the show? April and I are animal lovers and have NEVER seen anything abusive on the show.

Also, people who yell "NO" a thousand times at thier animal without ever teaching it what it means need to be punched.
Meh, all dogs are different. There's no right way, wrong way, which is what April and so on are obsessed with. You just do what works for that dog.
she's probably kicking the shit out of her dog as i type this.
