Fans of the National Geographic Channel's The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan will be grateful for Cesar's Way, an accessible guide to help new and current dog owners better understand the needs of their beloved pets. If you are not yet a fan, try to catch a couple of episodes of the remarkable show--you will be amazed, impressed, and motivated to create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with your dog. In Cesar's Way, Cesar explains that dogs are not complicated, and despite what various owners think--not human. They rely on three key elements in their lives: exercise, discipline, and affection (in that order). "Problem dogs" can be attributed to "problem owners," owners who don't understand and misinterpret their dog's behavior. Cesar's Way is really a training program for dog owners, with chapters devoted to understanding the "power of the pack," taking responsibility for "how we screw up our dogs," and learning how to manage aggression. Cesar's book (a must-have for new and old dog owners) moves beyond basic obedience school techniques, and teaches owners how to change unwanted behavior by better understanding their "best friends." --Daphne Durham

Cesar Millan's Top 5 Tips for Going to the Dog Park
 1. Make sure your dog is spayed or neutered, has all her shots, and is in good health. Under no circumstances should you bring a sick dog to a dog park!
2. Do not use the dog park as a substitute for the walk! If you drive to the park, leave your car a block away and take your dog on a vigorous walk of at least thirty-five minutes to drain some of her energy. Never take an over-excited dog to the park.
3. While at the park, don't "punch out" on your calm-assertive leadership. Be aware of your dog at all times, and take responsibility for her behavior.
4. A calm-submissive dog will not attract another dog's aggression--but an excited dog, a weak, timid dog, or an aggressive dog can become a fight-magnet.
5. Know your dog! If your dog has poor social skills, is overly fearful or is dog aggressive, or if you have not yet established your calm-assertive leadership with your dog, find a more controlled way to introduce her to the company of other dogs, such as "play dates" with one or two other dog owners.

 A Great Read! Lots of Info August 14, 2008
It works if your willing to change your attitude toward the whole training process and most importantly invest QUALITY time into it!!!
I read this book in 2 days. I just couldn't put it down! Cesar's approach makes you think and re-evaluate everything you ever knew of training and dogs in general. I believe he is a sincere man. His love for dogs is evident. As he says though, love isn't enough. I applied his techniques to both of my Dogs with great results. The WALK is most important before anything else. The thsst sound works great with my dogs when I feel they're pulling away from the calm-submissive state.
I'm just about done with his 2nd book. "Becoming the Pack Leader". This book is more explainatory as far as the behaviors/personalities of your specific dog, and what to do. It also explains in great detail ALL the tools (leashes, harnesses,collars etc...) for training, the pros and the cons, and how to use them effectively.
I'm not one to jump on the band wagon when it comes to a new fade, or "guru", but Cesar Millan's realness and compasion for ALL living things really struck my heart. I feel through these books I have become a better person as well. I recommend any Ceasar Millan product. I probably won't go out and get all the food, dog beds, toys etc... but as far as the learning tools I'm there!!!
Peace!! Stay Calm-Assertive In the words of Bob Barker, "Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered goodbye everyone!!!"
 ok reading but not a lot about training... August 13, 2008
Cesar talked a lot about himself, his background, etc. Which is fine, drops a lot of names (repeatedly) and doesn't really get into any training facts. Guess it wasn't what I was looking for.
so-=so August 9, 2008
was looking for how-to.
great story about cesar, not much about how to train dogs
really enlightening book that helped me understand my dog August 9, 2008
cesar's way has really helped me keep my grandpug from barking all the time, and now i am his leader and i decide where we walk and for how long.
reading this book has helped me and my neighbors with their two dogs. i just wish i had the tv channel to watch him at his best. a must have book if you want to change or understand a dogs behavior

I purchased this product after viewing a collection of Cesar's dvd's. They don't provide "How to..." for training a dog to do "Things"(sit, down, etc.) but they are very insightful in understanding how to have a good relationship with your pet as dog and master. The book has helped us get off to a good start with our new puppy.
