the National Geographic Channel. The following year, the series
transitioned to primetime and became a one-hour program. It became
Nat Geo's most popular series for
six years – at one point garnering more than 10 million viewers per

expanding its audience reach. It also expanded internationally,

ABOUT THE DOG WHISPERER WITH CESAR MILLAN
