 huge fan November 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
first time i've reviewed a product i haven't used, but i'm ordering the book, so perhaps i can be forgiven this one time.
i am a huge fan of this show, and i don't even have a dog (right now). Cesar Milan is obviously a beautiful human being with a great spirit that shines through and through, and his love of life and his work is infectious.
i have found his show enjoyable to watch as an animal lover, helpful personally on many levels, and that the ideas he communicates have helped me be my best self - a better wife, mother, employee, and therapist/teacher, and better at being myself - by helping me find my calm, assertive point of balance in relationship. not only the techniques - simply watching helps me find that place on a regular basis, which allows me to find it for myself more easily on my own.
Cesar's methods are specific and appropriate to dog training. at the same time, if you back up to what is essential about them, they are timeless, simple, and based on principals that show up again and again in effective and enduring paradigms of health, spirit, philosophy, science, and religion across the planet and throughout history.
That his methods work so well is testimony to how sound these principals really are. His ability to embody and communicate these principals is testimony to both his character and talent.
i do think that experience is an essential part of method, and the TV show provides a much more direct sense of exactly what Cesar means by 'calm assertive' and 'calm submissive' states. the book i am getting to broaden my understanding and learning on another level of mental process, which engages the brain in a different way that i usually find useful. i expect them to be complementary.
Cesar's Way... the Best Way November 3, 2008

I have read numerous dog books, covering training, behavioral problems and general information; and Cesar's has by far been the most innovative and beneficial to me and my dogs.
Even if you, a dog owner, aren't having any serious problems with your pet... read this book! It will give you the knowledge to really provide your dog with the best life possible. There really isn't anyone out there with the point of view that Cesar expresses through his books.
This book is totally worth the read because it works. Your dog deserves it!
Wish I knew about this a few years ago October 28, 2008
I read Cesar's Way right before I retired from my job. I knew that in my new lifestyle, I would have much more time to give to my two dogs, who are a female toy poodle and a male Lhasa apso/schnauzer mix.
I can say without hesitation that Cesar's methods were just what I needed. The biggest change is that I now walk my two dogs every day, whereas before, I just couldn't find the time. Just that one change has reverberated throughout my dogs' lives and they are now so much better off. They are happier and more well-behaved. Although I still have a few minor things to work on with my two, I am trying to follow Cesar's advice. I don't always get it 100%, but I am very satisfied that he knows what he is talking about.
If there are any Amazon readers who have a male dog who has urine marked inside the house for a long time, let me say that my male dog did the same thing for 7 years. Amazingly, after reading and applying the principles of this book, he no longer marks! Who would have believed that?? Once I retired, I was contemplating confining him every time I left the house, or leashing him to my belt and watching him closely when he was out of a crate. But, it has not proved necessary after all. I'm so pleased with the change that I now watch the Dog Whisperer quite often on television.
The book is valuable as a general overview and to teach the reader to understand how a dog naturally thinks, not as a list of specific techniques. I recommend it to all dog owners so they can provide their canines with the best life possible. Three cheers for Cesar Millan!
Must Have For All Dog Lovers October 7, 2008

Forget what you think you know about dogs and let Caesar teach you the proper way to interact with your canine friends. In almost all cases of bag dog behavior, Rule #1 "It's the owner, not the dog that's the problem." Even the kindest gentlest of humans are making mistakes that can lead to problem dogs. Caesar sets us straight with Dog Psychology.
Great book! September 29, 2008

This book is wonderful! His book teaches you how to "think" like a dog and how to train your doog with methods that WORK! I highly recommend this book:)
