Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow

"30 Days to the Well-Mannered Dog"

Aired on: July 19, 2011, March 7, 2011

Dog coach Tamar Geller has helped stars such as Oprah, Hillary Swank and Natalie Portman with their pooch problems, but she tells Rachael a secret about working with Hollywood A-listers and their pets. "They know that I know that the dogs don’t give a hoot that they’re celebrities," she laughs. "What the dogs care about is the relationship and if they have a good parent or not."

Tamar shares her expertise in her book, 30 Days to The Well-Mannered Dog. "When you are with a dog, it’s about relationship," she says. "It’s not about being in charge, it’s about the relationship and being a good communicator; you want to understand their needs." Watch the video above to see Tamar put her skills to work on the new puppy of Entertainment Tonight host Mark Steines!
