 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.
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.
