César Felipe Millán Favela (/ˈsiːzər mɪˈlɑːn/ SEE-zər mil-AHN,[4] Spanish: [ˈsesaɾ miˈʝan]; born August 27, 1969) is a Mexican-American dog trainer.[5] His television series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan was produced from 2004 to 2012 and is broadcast in more than 80 countries worldwide.[6]

Prior to The Dog Whisperer series, Millan focused on rehabilitating severely aggressive dogs[7] and founded a rehab complex, the Dog Psychology Center,[8] in South Los Angeles (2002–2008).

With Ilusión Millan, his former wife, he founded the Millan Foundation, which was renamed to the Cesar Millan PACK Project.[9] The foundation was established to provide financial support to animal shelters and organizations engaged in the rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing of abused and abandoned animals, and to fund spay/neuter programs.[10]

Millan's first three books, including Cesar's Way, all became New York Times best sellers, have cumulatively sold two million copies in the United States, and are available in 14 other countries.[11] Millan also has his own line of dog products and instructional DVDs.
