* This article has a lot of stuff on the Nazi Germany 1930', 1940's basis for the Noble, Pack Leader , Cult of The Wolf stuff that may or may not lead directly to Millan.
* Also makes a keen observation as to - if Millan learned his stuff from watching his grandfather, this timing would have put his grandfather's interaction with dogs exactly at the time when these Nazi ideas of the wolf, dog, etc were everywhere.
* Speaks of the 'Illusion Collar' as a torture device; kept high on the neck to injure the dog's larynx

Brings up the concept that Millan MUST be lying about his grandfather & dogs & how he learned dog 'psychology there. Because: if the dogs as he says were herding the cows, then they were 'herding' dogs' that in no way behave as he is now claiming... interesting 'detective' work.

* He particularly cites two books as major reinforcing influences: The Dog's Mind by Dr. Bruce Fogle & Dog Psychology by Leon F. Whitney, DVM: (a radical eugenicist, and secretary of the American Eugenics Society.)

Idea here is to show that there are people out there that ARE charlatans in the dog world. In opposing Millan, so many people just CANNOT - ( they refuse ) to believe that there can be such profit / ego motivated.. cold con artistry going on. Jon Katz is a very famous writer on all things dog, an early book of his : A dog Year, became VERY popular and was made into a film starring Jeff Bridges. In the story (Katz) a guy adopts a problematic border collie (Devon and then name changed to Orson) learns about life while learning to 'train' the dog... in the end of the film, there's Katz / Bridges with the dog - both the better for each other. Fact: Katz later had the dog 'put down' due to behavior problems. Much anger from the dog world over this: many citing the idea that: with all the money that the dog had made him - Best selling book, big successful film - Katz could easily have afforded all kinds of trainers, tests to find any underlying medical condition, HUGE fenced in enclosures: why put this dog to death. Katz justified some of this by actually saying that he couldn't justify spending money on a dog when people in his own area were living in tar shacks; commentators pointed out that it was money that the dog had earned him, that he could then still justify having his huge estate landscaped, fireplaces re-pointed, that they doubted that he then gave any money to help these people in his area. Guy (so far in my study) sounds like real scum.
These links are just for a beginner's taste of the controversy. I haven't found the definitive article to link to yet.
