 Cesar knows dogs December 7, 2007

This book wasn't quite what I expected. I expected more instruction on technique, but this book explains the relationship between dog and owner. He is very knowledgeable about human personalities and their impact on a dog's behavior. The information contained in this book should help many person-to-person relationships as well.

detail, but i enjoyed what was there.I would love to meet Mr.Millan in person. I am sure his energy is incredible, strong and animalistic...ha! But if you need help with your dogs behaviour, the book will help. If you wanted to know more about dogs behavior generally , you will find it here and it will be easy to understand. Intellectual, Mr. Millan is not, but good and intelligent, he is. So, enjoy!

diappointed in the book. if you are a watcher of the show, you are familiar with most of the examples he talks about in the book. i bought the book for new information and actual help in being the pack leader. i thought it was going to be more of a step by step kind of aid.

Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life
I bought this out of interest, I have watched Cesars shows and podcasts, like many long term dog owners I was surprised to find I was more than half way there. I would not have had to call in Cesar for any of my dogs. BUT Cesar explains to you the linkage of dog behaviour to it's various causes. This enabled me to help socialize my little Sheltie with hitherto belligerent dogs in our park walk. Most importantly NOT to get angry at other dogs but to talk to the owners and together get our dogs to socialise.
 It's a great feeling when you get it. December 2, 2007

By the end of the book, I got it. I read Cesar's first book and liked it very much but I couldn't get it. I still wanted it so I bought this book too. Now I get it. It's the difference between good parents and great parents, good and great dog owners. It has illuminated my failings as a parent raising my kids and now that they are grown, raising my dogs. It's not about what I want my dogs to do or not do, it's about my own emotions about whether they will trust what I say. I may say come to my dog but my emotions are "what do I do if he doesn't? Will I have to chase him? Should I call him again? Should I punish him? My dogs don't hear come. They hear uncertanity and anxiety. As a choir director and singer I knew what to do to lead my group. They trusted that I knew what I was doing and followed me even if I made a mistake because they accepted my position of authority. But their acceptance was intellectual. With dogs and children you have to earn it. And you can't tell dogs "Because I'm your mother and I said so". It doesn't always work with kids either. So what I got from Cesar is that you have to learn to check your emotions and believe that when you tell your dogs come they will read your assurance that this is what's best for all (or both) of us right now, just like when I tell the choir "turn to page 56 and I only want to hear the altos" they understand I am the leader and want the best for the group. I get it Cesar, and I'm working on it.
