Seriuosly, he acts nuts! I have a Golden Retriever, and he NEVER barks. Not when people come to the house, NEVER! Now, we like the dog whisperer... And have been putting him in the breeze way when he is on, but he STILL goes crazy, barking, running in circles, jumping up and down, it used to be funny, but now its just plain freaky!!!!

It only happens when Dog Whisperer is on. When there are dogs or any other animals on TV anyother time, he could care less.

Do you watch the episodes for entertainment or for education? You could find most of your answer right there. ;-)
Have you seen the episode with the Sheltie and the toaster (Season 1)? You might have a similar problem. Letting him run away or keeping him away from the tv when he's anxious is actually allowing him to continue with the behavior. You may want to collar him as Cesar does, with the collar high on the neck, and have him with you to watch DW. Correct him with the pull upward on the leash. Keep him quiet. Keep him still. Don't let him run away. Cesar helps dogs by helping them face their fears. By you being "the authority figure" you can show him there is nothing for him to be anxious about.
Watch the show, really watch it and learn from Cesar. It's very eye-opening and much of it can play a big role in our daily dog-lovin' lives.

Probably because there are other dogs on that show. My dog has some major anexity whenever I leave him home alone and several dog trainers have suggested that I leave on a movie with dogs barking or wolves so that he will be more entertained while I'm gone. Dogs speak in their own doggie bark language and I'm sure hearing other dogs in his territory upsets him. Just pet him and reassure him that he's the boss in your house and that everything is ok even though he can hear the other dogs on t.v.

not everybody concurs with the dogs whisperer and his concepts. My roommate loves him and tried a team of stuff on my dogs (alpha rolls, the neck jabbing etc) and made my dogs fearful of adult males and a submissive peer- now I won't enable him touch my dogs- to be honest i don't think of i might enable Cesar touch my dogs the two.

my dog loves trying to find the dog making all that noise on TV. He looks out the window and all around. I show him the dog on TV and he ignores it. He thinks it can't be in there!

You know he had a case on there once that was the same situation. The dog would go nuts when his show was on. He rehabilitated the dog. You should call him.
