 I'm a pack leader now! February 9, 2008

Cesar manages to explain succinctly how to solve issues with your dog. Near the end, he breaks down methods to help you with particular breeds, which is helpful in understanding certain needs of your dog. At the very end is a comprehensive list of all the major points of the book, like a quick reference guide. This book helped me to recognise all the things I do to confuse my dog!!
Really, the book emphasizes all the points he makes in his show. It goes into more depth and detail, which may put you in the right direction to better communicating with your pup.

I think "Be the Pack Leader" is an awesome book. I am not a dog owner but Casar Millan's look at an owner's emotional story and its effect on his/her dog(s) is very powerful. When I am out walking in my neighborhood, I now look at dogs and how they behave around their owners.
The book talks a lot about calm-assertiveness with your dog. I find that it is just as important with associates, friends and family. People (and dogs) want to be around strong leaders who exhibit that trait and they are moved to do some wonderful things with and for them.
I can not say enough, I highly recommend it for people who want to look at themselves and how they affect other people (and dogs) around them.
 Exercise, Discipline, Affection February 1, 2008

All I really want to do is walk my dogs without them pulling on their leashes. Cesar makes it look so easy and, unfortunately, his book does not give me the magic, step-by-step formula that will instantly transform my dogs into perfect little walking machines. Alas!
On the positive side (and surely more realistic), the book gives wonderful insights into how to communicate so that your dog understands what you want. His threefold formula of exercise, discipline, and affection is simple and effective. My two little dogs (1 yr. old puppies actually) are happy to get a morning and evening walk, have boundaries at mealtimes and limits on where they can go in the house and what they can do, and , of course, get lots of affection.
If you want a step-by-step manual don't buy the book. Milan states up front that he is NOT a dog trainer. However, if you want an interesting read that helps you understand how your dog learns best, I'd recommend buying it.
Great book! January 18, 2008

This book reinforces the show. And the book is very positive. I never thought I could get my alpha male dog to be calm submissive but this book and the show has helped tremendously.
Read this book if you really want to learn about yourself and dogs January 15, 2008

What a cracker - this is a truly excellent piece of work. Cesar Millan is innovative and fresh in his philosophy, and if you want to know more about yourself and your relationship with your pet then you would be ill advised to pass it over.
I study psychology and I always wondered why we use human psychology to train our dogs. Now I know why - because we thought they were human!!
