Today, National Geographic announced the second season of its fur-ever favorite series, CÉSAR MILLÁN: BETTER HUMAN BETTER DOG, premiering July 22 at 9/8c on National Geographic. This season brings 12 all-new episodes with a fur-miliar dog behavioral specialist in the business, César Millán. All-new episodes will air back-to-back on Fridays at 9/8c and 10/9c on National Geographic, and encore Saturdays at 10/9c and 11/10c on Nat Geo WILD.

Following its epic series debut, this season brings all-new cases at César’s famed California ranch retreat for dogs, Dog Psychology Center, where canines come in with their troubles and leave on their best behavior. Watch as César uses the latest research in animal psychology to work with not only pets but, more importantly, their owners to find respect and harmony between the two parties.

Transformations include those like an aggressive Rhodesian Ridgeback who learns to trust his owner; a dog that bites and mounts anyone that comes close finally lets his “guard” down and lets his owner in; owners of a German Shepherd develop calming-confidence techniques to keep their dog from peeing inappropriately, and more.
