Kim Kardashian hires dog expert Cesar Millan to train puppy

Kim Kardashian has hired celebrity dog behaviourist Cesar Millan to train her new puppy.

The reality TV star and her husband Kanye West recently gifted their four-year-old daughter North a cute Pomeranian dog, named Sushi, while the couple also gave Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian a puppy called Honey, for her three children - son Mason, seven, daughter Penelope, five, and toddler Reign, two.

However, in the episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians which aired on Sunday night (03Dec17), Kim sought advice from Cesar, known for his Emmy-nominated television series Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan and for training dogs owned or cared for by the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith and Kelsey Grammer, after realizing Sushi yapped persistently, while Honey had a much more placid personality.

"For my sanity, all I wanted was a really calm dog," she told Cesar of her pup's misbehavior.

After analysing Sushi's antics, the canine expert advised her to give the dog much more structure, and to avoid making rookie mistakes, such as rewarding bad behavior.

"It's really exciting to know that Sushi's issues are fixable, and she's just a part of the family now, so we gotta work on it," added Kim, on hearing Cesar's techniques to calm her pet down.

Meanwhile, Kim has been taking to social media over the weekend (02-03Dec17) to tease images from her family's annual Christmas photo, including members of the extended Kardashian and Jenner clans. So far, the 37-year-old has uploaded photos of North and her 11-month-old son Saint, as well as Reign, with many fans on social media speculating that she may be building up to announcing the birth of her third baby, who is being carried by surrogate, and is rumored to be due this month.
