I personally really like Cesar's methods and watch all the time.
I do not have problems with any of my dogs, but one is overly excitable and can lunge at other dogs while out walking and looks quite aggressive to the uninitiated. I am using Cesar's methods and they are working really well. I agree with the comments about calm-submissive. This is the only state that Louis will respond properly and appropriately. It just makes sense to me.
Would I attempt these methods with a seriously aggressive dog such as the ones on the show... no, I am not an expert and don't claim to be. Kudos to Cesar for even attempting that one.
I do have one thing to add though that I didn't see mentioned. Most, if not all of the seriously troubled dogs were not 'treated' in just one episode. Their rehabilitation was over a period of many months. I don't see any quick fixes for the benefit of TV there.
Just my thoughts.
