A good read, but probably only 8 woofs out of 10... ;o) January 5, 2009
I thought this book would be good based on word of mouth. I have seen some of Cesar's shows and some of the things he said and did, seemed to make good doggy sense! Having said that the book wasn't necessarily quite as all embracing as I'd hoped. Though it was very good. It's also clearly a book for the US market, which is great but being a Brit I do enjoy books that don't feel quite so US focussed. Good book all the same but personally I felt I got the best out of my doggy reading by combining reading this with reading another doggy book (How to Handle Living with Your Dog) written by a Brit ( Winkie Spiers ) and which covered the whole of my experience with my adorable dog in a fun no nonsense (as it promised) fashion. If you're interested in my humble opinion then I'd say Cesar's book in combo with this book covers alot (if not all) your bases! (How to Handle Living With Your Dog: No Nonsense Advice on Puppies, Dogs, Pedigrees, Rescue Dogs, Heinz 57s and Their Puppy Classes, Dog Training, Canine ... and Diet & Exercise! (How to Handles) by Winkie Spiers).
 Cesar's Way January 3, 2009
This is an excellent instruction book because it lets you learn how to tap in to a dog mind, be prapered to change the way you interact with the dog, my dog was not bad, but because he was a rescued had some big problem,he had pofecional training but I realised his training was incomplet because I was not getting to the dogs natural mind,I have put the method in practise and it WORKS, he gets only half hour walk in the morning(Cesars Way)and 20 minutes in the evening on long leash. My dog is a Staff,and a strong one at that.
Hope this will benefite your dog and you.

Cesar's Way is the Magic Way! November 18, 2008

"Cesar's Way" is truly a bible for us who love and have dogs. Growing up, my family always had two dogs. We always gave affection first, then discipline, and then exercise. No wonder we always had unbalanced pets who ran the household - it was opposite of what Cesar Milan teaches. Cesar suggests a simple formula in order to have a balanced dog. Exercise, discipline, and affection... in that order! Who knew?!
Cesar writes that dogs live in the moment and that they communicate using energy, constantly. We can learn a lot from our dogs. If we are lost in thought and neurotic in our behavior, our dogs will mirror our energy. When we are in the moment with our animals, our dogs have new possibilities with their behaviors, living a balanced life.
To live in harmony with my family's pet and other animals, I have to find harmony within myself. As Cesar Milan is the "Dog Whisperer", I see author's Ariel & Shya Kane as "The People Whisperers". I highly suggest reading their award winning books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life and Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. The less I work on myself, the more presently I live my life. It's great for my relationships with people and dogs!
 interesting but nothing new September 6, 2008

As said before if you watch his show most of what is in the book will be nothing new, if you are looking for advice on specific problems and how to cure them this is not for you.
It really just goes over Cesar's attitude towards dealing with your dog rather than any specifics.
It is nicely written and I did enjoy reading it and it did give me a push to be more confident around my dogs to help influence them which I do feel helps, although I'm not into alpha rolls or choke chains.
If you are looking for the miracle cures you see him do on TV, look somewhere else, like a trainer/behaviourist, but if you already have a dog and don't feel totally incontrol this may give you a bit of a lift to be more confident in their handling.
Not what I thought August 29, 2008

This book is well written for the most part and almost appears to be an autobiography in places which is a plus for Milan fans.
However...
Having tried the techniques on my own dog I realised that they are not for everyone and should not be touted as such.
I also found the book to be more than enlightening on what these techniques ACTUALLY involve, which you dont get to see on the TV.
Unfortunately (and as an ex-fan I mean this whole-heartedly) it did not meet my expectations as a book for training advice, although it is still a good buy if you are looking for life advice or to know more about Cesar himself.
