Cesar Millan has been cleared of animal cruelty charges after an extensive investigation by the LA County Department of Animal Care and Control.

The self-taught behaviorist was in hot water after a recent episode of his series “Cesar 911” showed an aggressive pooch attack a pig during one of his on-camera training sessions.

Execs at Nat Geo Wild stood by the “Dog Whisperer,” 46, despite reaction from critics who claimed Millan acted irresponsibly.

“I am pleased but not surprised by this news,” Millan told Page Six in a statement. “Our animal handling procedures are safe and humane. Just like LA County Animal Control, my team and I are 100% dedicated to the proper care of all animals, including the farm pig in this case.”

The investigation spanned several weeks and evidence — including a complete video of the incident and interviews with those on the scene — was presented to the LA District Attorney’s Office for final review.

“I am continuing my work rescuing and rehabilitating even the most difficult problem dogs,” Millan added. “Which has saved the lives of thousands of animals that otherwise would have been euthanized.”
