hahahaha. Aw, unfortunately that is often correct, but in my case it is not.

But I don't have kid issues, but I DO have dog issues. And have toyed with thought that if my new trainer/behavior consultant doesn't workout with my dog, calling Cesar.
I'm not poor, but I don't have a three level, spotless house with new decorations and furniture.

Heh heh, my favorite SuperNanny, or maybe it was Nanny 911, was when they went to a Southern Cal. house and the mom went around the whole show in short, short, skirts and shorts, and low cut halter tops, and high heels. She had no job, and dad had some just regular job, can't remembe what. But in their backyard they had this gorgeous multi-level swimming pool that looked like a  Hawaiian lagoon, landscaped, lighting etc. DH and I were just rolling, can you say "We make home adult movies"!!! The only thing missing when the mom walked around was the "Baum chicka chicka, baum baum" soundtrack!

That when Cesar Milan visits a home of people that he's helping, the people's houses are always nice and they seem wealthy? Does he ever work with people who do not have decked out homes and are apparently well off?

Chewbecca,

Yes, CM does have aactually quite number of episodes where the owner was less wealthy. I have seen multiple owners who have lived in tiny apartments.

One episode that will always stick with me is a single mom raising her to sons. The mom is disabled (spinal cord injury I believe) and she is in a wheelchair. Her sons found a dog they named "Shep" and Ceaser helped them deal with issues they had and actually was able to help the mom be able to "walk" the dog from the chair. It was a touching moment for me (considering I work with people with Spinal cord injury) and she was so grateful to be able to actually take the dog out herself. You can see very clearly that the neighborhood and their home is not wealthy in the least... living in Southern California, it looks JUST like the many areas in my city and LA that are full of crime and gangs.  

Anyway, that was just one of multiple such episodes...  I can't speak for the SuperNanny... never watched it!![8D]

I have seen CM going to help people that are not rich, one of them even had a pig in her backyard, the house seemed like a one or two bedroom house, when they went outside you could see that the house was actually too small; another one you could tell by the way they were dressing and talking that didnt have too much money, their back yard was made of cement and were having all kind of old and usless things back there

Last week he helped a lady that was living in one bedroom apartment in NYC (she was living with 3 french bulldogs)

It does not depends on how wealthy the people are, it depends how bad the dog's behavior is

By Texas standards ANYONE living in California or NY apt MUST be rich because the rent there is simply ridiculous! More than my mortgage...so I guess rich is a relative term lol! The houses of the type chewbacca mentioned could probably be had here for what...just under $200K...in Cali or Ny...it'd be in the millions.
 
The one/two bedrm ones in bad Cali neighborhoods likely still rent and sell for ridiculous amounts...wheras here they'd be $30-50K tops.
 
I know one person who worked with Cesar before he was big and he said he was pricey but not crazily so...and well worth it for the result he got with his PB and Akita.

Well probably a good amount of people that live in NYC apt only rent, one bedroom apt can cost $800 or $900 a month, my wife's cousing was having one like that in the bronx and she was paying that amount, in manhattan a studio costs that much

I think that the people that appears on CM' show does not have to pay for the session, but i know that at least in the past if you wanted his services he was charging $350 an hour, today he does not do private sessions anymore but thats what it costs for you to have one of his students to go to your house and help you

The last studio I lived in cost $2000 a month, it was probably 700SF tops and was in an *okay* neighborhood.  (just to put it in perspective).  The same studio is selling for $750,000...  (I moved because the building went co-op).  Gina's absolutely right, a 1BR apartment in Manhattan can EASILY cost millions.  It's sick and wrong, I tell ya!

Good lord!  Our first apartment was a one bedroom in a decent area and it was $500 a month with all utilities excpet cable.  Then again we had a neighbor who watched porn in the middle of the day and had it up so loud that you could hear it down the hall.  I would have paid a little extra per month not to have THAT little feature.

I've never actually seen one of Cesar's shows.  I don't think it airs on any of my channels.  SuperNanny either.  I do get Nanny 911.  I usually like the show, but one episode ticked me off.  The mom had a pot bellied pig, and it lived in the house with them.  Apparently she paid more attention to the pig than to her kids, and the Nanny decided that it should move outside, cause thats where pets belong.  I thought it was pretty extreme.  She would be out the door on her ear so fast if she came into my home and told me that my dogs had to live outside in a kennel and never play with my children except through the fence.

ETA:  This wasn't totally off topic, as what reminded me of the episode was that the family was definately not a high class family.  The pig looked quite at home in thier house.

I think it's just that most of them are in California. LA has a lot of neighborhoods that if you're from there they don't look "bad". The housing stock is all pretty new and because of the climate things don't get to look "run down" as fast. So it can be hard to tell just by looking. But I have seen several episodes where the family is in a smallish house in a pretty dense residential area.

I have seen more though that are suburban. But not all.

Supernanny on the otherhand, I don't watch it that much but every single time it's a family with way more money than sense, apparently.

I love visiting NYC, but I don't think I could live there.  Right now, I have a 700SF one bedroom apartment.  I pay $360 in rent, and never over $200 in cable, internet, and electric.  So, never over about $560 a month.  Its in a pretty decent neighborhood.  Not that we have many bad ones around here.
Most of the houses that Super Nanny visits don't look too extravagant in relation to the area where they are located to me.  I don't watch CM though.  For TV, the houses need to look nice and they probably try to show the "perfect family" that is having problems.

Gina, about the only thing your going to get in Cali these days for $200K is a double wide trailer.[] Having said that, if Cesar Milan were coming to my house I'd probably clean up a little - maybe vacuum up the dog hair. Especially if I thought the segment might be on TV some day.

in manhattan a studio costs that much

 
I'm sorry, but this made me laugh hysterically. You can't even get a studio here in Southern California for 800 or 900 a month (well, you can, but it'll be in the ghetto. []). But Labcrab already responded with NYC prices...
 
My sister had a studio here in Orange County a few months ago, 440 square feet, I kid you not, and it was $1300 a month. Not the best area (not bad, but certainly not some rich fabulous place) either. You try to get a studio apartment in one of the best areas here and it'll easily be $1600 or more.
 
Oh, on the original topic, Rebecca, I think Cesar only visits people in Southern California, and yeah, that's how most of it is. You go to a halfway run-down area, and most of the people don't speak English. Cesar speaks Spanish, of course, but most of his viewers don't. []
