It's not accurate to say they "hate" him, but some do not agree with his methods. Some trainers believe Cesar Milan is too harsh with the dogs; and others believe he makes it seem like if you follow his method, your dog will be perfect-- there is no magical method for training a dog, and while some of Cesar's techniques may be useful, his shows (like all TV shows) are heavily edited, so you only see his successes, and not the cases where he failed or where it took a long time to win the dog over.

How do you make the Doberman puppy to pee outside the home?

Puppies and dogs work well on a set schedule. Set times in the day to feed the puppy and set times to take her outside to go potty. I have been doing every two to three hours at first. Make sure you have a designated spot in the yard for her to go. The puppy might think its playtime but make sure you consistantly say something like "go potty" to let her know thats what your there for. When the puppy goes outside make aure you show praise and treats work to. If the puppy refuses to potty outside put her in a crate for 15 mins or so and try again. Dont allow the puppy to wander free in your home until she is completely potty trained. Hope some of this helps out!! :)

I adopted a stray dogand he growls at us when we towel dry him try to get his toy out of his mouth to playand when he is told not do something that he is doing wrong. What can I do?

Sounds like you dog has suffered some previous abuse. You need to gain the dogs trust that you are not going to hurt him. Talk calmly in a non threatening manor while working with him/her on the various situations that prompt the growling. Let the dog know that you are the boss, not him. Praise the dog when the behavior is altered and reinforce the good results continuously. These behaviors are usually because the dog feels you are in competition with him or that a previous memory of the action was hurtful. Is he food agressive? If so try feeding him/her one kibble at a time, making the dog wait and make the connection that you are the provider of food not a competitor.
