Famed dog behaviorist Cesar Millan is encouraging the Biden family to reach out to him to solve the spate of aggressive attacks on Secret Service officers at the White House.
“This is the second dog. It’s like, ‘Hey guys, it’s obviously not the dog. Let the dog whisperer come into the White House and just do what I’ve done for 20 years,’” Millan said in an interview on Thursday.

According to internal Secret Service records, the Bidens’ 2-year-old German shepherd, Commander, bit seven people in a four-month period from October 2022 through January 2023. The records were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by conservative legal group Judicial Watch and found numerous serious incidents in which the president would allow his dog to repeatedly attack and bite Secret Service and White House personnel causing a “considerable amount of pain” and injuries.
Millan has not been contacted by the White House but said he believes “the humans” need “a human trainer that rehabilitates dogs” more than a “dog trainer.”
The former host for National Geographic Channel’s The Dog Whisperer said people “humanize” their dog with a name, but in the dog world, they understand their “position within the pack.”
“In the dog world, that will be your authority leader. People call it the pack leader. You and a dog are a pack. You can call it family, but someone has to lead the family. They will tell you the rules, boundaries, and limitations,” he explained to Politico’s West Wing Playbook.
Millan has observed that some White Houses don’t have “a protocol for dogs” and that’s “why dogs get in trouble.”

“Dogs don’t know that they’re living with the president or with you. That’s why dogs make humans really human, because it really has nothing to do with money, fame or power,” the celebrity canine behaviorist said.
He added, “One thing that I have seen over the years in the White House is they don’t have a protocol for dogs. It’s happened before with previous presidents. In any home, a dog needs to feel safe. He needs love, and he needs to trust, respect and love someone.”
