 Cesar is very good February 27, 2008

This is the 2nd book I have read of his. It does explain that dogs see, hear, smell and understand the world differently than we humans do. What a great start for any dog owner!
 Very satisfied February 24, 2008

I watch as many "Dog Whisperer" episodes as I can. I seem to always learn something new. He refers to a lot of the episodes in the book and it's nice to have, in writing, what you can try. Cesar also explains more of the general psychology with dogs and it's very helpful. I'm not done with the book yet, but it's hard to put down when I get a chance to read some of it.
Must read for any serious dog owner February 13, 2008

Having read Cesar's Way, I have to say that Be The Pack Leader is the better of the two books. It gives great examples of his work and offers some interesting academic and research insights into the principles of dog psychology.
I do have to say that some areas of the book drag a bit and being an avid watcher of his show, many of the case studies are just repeats of the lessons learned from the show. I think fewer recaps of the show and more follow-ups to some of the stories introduced to the show would have made this book better for me. For non-viewers of the show, the case studies are perfect.
Personally, the best thing about this book is the Appendix at the back. It offers a "cliff notes" version of his tips which makes it easily digestible and can become a quick reference for dealing with specific problems that you are facing. It is a better alternative than thumbing through 250 pages to find what you are looking for.
Loved it! February 9, 2008

I've loved everything! Watching his show, reading his books, now I want to buy his DVD's! He's amazing and I could watch him for hours! It's a wonderful thing that Cesar does with animals and it works!
Latest Book builds on first one. February 9, 2008

Having read Cesar's first book then I immediatley bought this one and unfortunately there is a bit of repetition. From watching the Dog Whisperer series one can go away thinking that miraculous changes permanently take place as seen on TV!, but I would've appreciated reinforcement through the book that dog's (and owners) dont change overnight. Having said that, this book has been great for giving me confidence to change the way I was handling my schnauzer, he's still a work in progress but we both have five years of bad habits to break. The pictures and appendix are very helpful.
