Decorator Nate Berkus who is often seen on Oprah, has helped countless people bring beauty and tranquility into their homes. Yet, despite being a design expert, he has a very big problem at home.

Nate’s dogs, Henry and Emma, are misbehaving in a big way. Emma barks constantly, especially when someone’s at the door or when Nate’s cell phone rings. Meanwhile, Henry has aggressive tendencies, attacking other dogs and people. On one occasion, Henry even bit Ilya, the engineer in Nate’s apartment building…

Nate’s dogs have a bad reputation in their neighborhood. And worse, he says he worries that Henry will get into a nasty fight with the wrong dog.

Cesar says the problems with Emma and Henry actually originate with Nate. Cesar says Nate becomes nervous that Emma and Henry will misbehave, and the dogs sense that he is not in control—he is not the leader of the pack.

To compensate for the lack of a leader, Henry asserts himself by barking and biting. When Nate tries to calm Henry down, he does it incorrectly. Cesar says Nate is nurturing bad behavior. “You’re saying ‘It’s okay to be dominant and obsessive in front of me,’” he tells Nate.

Can Cesar help turn Nate around so Emma and Henry act more appropriate? Tune into Oprah today and find out. I’ll be posting video clips of the show this evening in case anyone misses it.
