More of the same oversimplification of dominance theory from the celebrity trainer du jour.
If only settlements were made public...

This book was great. It changes the way you think. I love that the author is so positive. It all makes perfect sense to me.

As with Cesar's Way, his second book reviews the principles about dog behavior and how humans can better relate to dogs.
I have found both his books to be extremely enjoyable to read. I especially enjoy the concept positive "energy" to communicate with your dog. It all makes sense and is very effective in application.
If you enjoy his show, you'll love his books!
Gotta love Cesar... October 25, 2007

My reason for buying this book was pretty shallow. I love the Dog Whisperer and was about to get a dog of my own. Not wanting a dog that acted out of line, I figured reading this would be a nice start.
I was right.
If you've seen Cesar's show on the National Geographic Channel, you basically know, in a sense, what to expect. What I didn't expect was how much his philosophy of 'calm-assertive' energy played into being a better person as a whole. The whole 'calm-assertive' thing, as skeptical as I was, actually works too. I always thought Cesar knew what he was talking about but using his methods with my new addition actually works wonders.
Lets not forget the guidlines he so adamantly preaches...
1. Exercise
2. Discipline
3. Affection
"In that order!"
What really makes me laugh, and even like the book more, is that it's so clearly Cesar. Listen to him talk on his show sometime, then read Be The Pack Leader. It reads EXACTLY like he sounds.
Strewn about are 'Success Stories.' I really enjoyed them. More than anything it just solidifies how much Cesar's approach works in rehabilitating dogs. Without Cesar even coming to help out these ordinary people transformed their dogs--and more times than not--themselves.
If you're like me and wanted this book simply to learn how to deal with new dogs, Appendix-A Quick Reference Guide To Becoming A Better Pack Leader, at the back of the book is going to be your bible. It sure was mine the first couple of weeks.
Overall, even if you have a perfectly behaved dog--or don't even have one--Be The Pack Leader is a terrific, fast, read. Everything is very straight-forward and to the point and is chalk full of amazing tips on transforming your dog. Highly recommended.

My profession since 1969 has been a dog trainer specializing
in the problem dog. I see Cesar's new book as being quite helpful
to dog owners as well as fellow dog professionals.
In the book Cesar explains how to become pack leader via
a calm/assertive pathway. He clearly explains on how to achieve
this state without being aggressive,yelling or emotional. How? With positive affirmations,inner dialogue and visualization along with
other techniques.
If you like Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer..You'll love
Cesar Millan.His approach to leadership is quite new age and nowhere
near what the critics are stating.
I've seen negative reviews regarding the book..obviously the close minded
have not read it and have some preconceived notion about Cesar
Millan. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Do your dog a favor..Get this book today.
Get another for a dog owning friend/relative...they'll love you for it
Yours for a better understanding of dogs,
