 The Best June 19, 2008
I am 6oyrs of age and have always had dogs.I find Cesar Millans approach to understanding and rehabilitating dogs to be fascinating and totally convincing.Bye and large I have always followed a similar approach to living with my dogs.Cesars explaination about the "energy" aspect is explained clearly and is the element that I found to be the most instructive.Someone wrote a critical review doubting the dominance theory.I am baffled by this as it is so straightforward and basic to any level of dog training.Another person criticised Cesar because he occasionally gets bitten.That's a bit like saying an artist occasionally gets paint on his clothes.As Cesar Millan tends to take on the most difficult cases obviously sometimes he will have a difficult time.He never gives up though and wins through where conventional trainers give up.
I would recommend this book to anyone as you will learn something important regardless of your previous experience.I know he has given me a few new ideas for living with my six year old German Shepherd and three cats.

Is it just me, do I imagine that every time I see Cesar he gets bitten? You'd do better to get Jan Fennell's "The Dog Listener" and save on the band aids.

I have bought this book and hoped to find a solution for my two dogs: one seems to go deaf for any kind of "Come here" as soon as a squirrel is in sight, the other one is lovely with humans but quite a bully with other dogs. I didn't find any answer. To me the book is like a biography: nice to know that Ceasar has treated so many celebrities' dogs but he bored me out of my pants with his endless pages about his humble upbringing in Mexico. This is not what I want to know when I buy a book about dog training. The questions I really needed to know were not answered. Sorry, this book didn't do it for me at all. Seen all your positive ratings, I am decided to read it again, but I still don't think that I have "overread" the answer to my questions. Is there any page where he gives anything else than just a more than vague advice? I can't find it.

I bought the book on the strength of the Dog Whisperer TV show and have to say that Cesar's philosophy is so simple that it is untrue. Humans have become so detached and confused about the way they view animals and dogs in particular that it is no wonder dogs develop phobias and other anxiety related problems. Cesar puts over clearly thought-out ideas in such a friendly and easy to understand way that it is recommended reading for any one who is interested in dogs, let alone anyone who owns one!

I am not a dog owner but considering getting a dog - to be part of our family unit. We have many other animals so a dog would have to get on with other critters of all kinds.
I wanted to learn how to be around a dog, how to consider choosing the right one for our lifestyle and I have found this book to be informative and very interesting. I have enjoyed this book enormously and will be passing it on to others.
It is common sense - but in the busy life styles that we have, sometimes common sense gets forgotten.
