SINGAPORE—Asia’s biggest dog trainer competition, Cesar’s Recruit: Asia presented by Subaru, is back in search of the region’s best dog trainer. Season 3 will feature eight participants from Singapore, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand, who have made the cut to compete for the prize of becoming the next “Cesar’s Asian Recruit.”
Currently in Singapore to film the latest season of Cesar’s Recruit: Asia, Cesar Millan wants to leverage the program to continue the pursuit of his global mission to prevent dog abandonment and help owners achieve harmony with their pets. The first episode of the seven-part series is expected to air in June of 2019, on Subaru Asia’s YouTube channel. Other network channels will be announced at a later date.
“I’m excited to partner [with] Subaru once again to bring Cesar’s Recruit back to Asia. The latest season will feature contestants from diverse backgrounds presented with real-life challenges that most dog owners today face. With more people in Asia owning dogs than before, it is crucial that we continue to educate people on the importance of animal welfare, and the role humans play in that,” said Cesar Millan. “This is why in the show, we’ll be placing a bigger emphasis on the foundational qualities of building a healthy and balanced dog-owner relationship, over the technical aspects of dog training.”
Unlike past seasons, the focus for Cesar’s Recruit: Asia Season 3 now centers on the trainer, not the dog. This season will see fresh challenges aimed at equipping contestants with the essential traits required of a dog behavioral expert, including physical fitness, assertiveness, trust, patience, confidence, and love.
The winner of Cesar’s Recruit: Asia Season 3 will also bear the title of “Subaru Ambassador,” where he or she will get the chance of a lifetime to tour with Cesar in his live shows across Asia.
“Subaru is a family-oriented brand closely associated with active lifestyles and the outdoors and Cesar’s Recruit: Asia hits all the right notes for me. Cesar is an individual I respect, because more than his talent, he is extremely hardworking, driven, and, most of all, positive and inspiring. I connected immediately with his passion,” said Glenn Tan, deputy chairman and managing director of Tan Chong International Limited. He added, “In all the shows we work with, I want to give aspiring talented Asians a chance to push themselves to the limit, believe in themselves and follow their heart, which is what this is all about.”
