Great book, down to earth guy in person!

Book is great. Those may not agree with his philosophy, but I have seen him and how he interacts with dogs...he loves them! It is amazing what he does and how much he cares for them. I have been to his old kennel and I am glad to hear he opened a new one. I have dogs of my own and its obvious that I did not inherit any of his dog magic abilities...it runs in his dad side not his mom's which is my dad's sister.

No quick fix - his "way" requires connecting with nature

Cesar's TV show amazed me how the dog owners always blame their dog for having all sorts of "human behavior" type problems. Then Cesar rehabilitates the dog from the sick behavior of the owners only to find they are unable to change their ways.

EXAMPLE: One woman had a hyperactive miniature pinscher that was totally out of control. She never exercised the dog, let alone trained him. Cesar took the dog rollerblading and it came home all happy & tired. The woman wanted to "give doggie a cookie to show how happy mommy is..." and Cesar said - "No! The dog knows how you feel by your energy". But the woman insisted that she had to show doggie how much she loved it by giving a cookie.

At the end of the show Cesar did an update on the woman with that miniature pinscher. She had it put to sleep. Euthanized. Killed. Destroyed. This episode epitomizes the difficulty of Cesar's message; he is delivering uncomfortable information that people don't want to hear.

Most dog lovers, Cesar warns, get angry with him. Like the woman who loved her "little doggie baby" so much she had it killed - people have lost touch with nature to a frightening degree. As a result millions of dogs are destroyed every year.

If you are not a moron, if you respect the spirit in a dog and are in touch with your connection to Mother Nature you'll nod in resonance with Cesar. He's not only a master of martial arts; he's a master of the connection with nature.

When I grew up in the 1950s a dog was "man's best friend". Then life grew crazy and Americans made dogs into mere accessories they could treat like dolls. Today almost all dogs are yakking annoyances whose owners yell the dog's name in various inflections of anger and negativity as if that was how to command it.

Given the obsession with possessions, consumption, and endless yakking on cell phones only about 1 dog owner in 100 will ever reach the bar Cesar sets in this book. Many will criticize him - I've heard that from two professional trainers - but very few will really understand Cesar's simple but powerful message.

Cesar's Way works if you are willing to change yourself. How do I know that? Because my German Shepherd (raised Cesar's Way) is a joy to behold; Tyler accompanies me to Home Depot, Costco, etc. where endless crowds of children of all ages compliment him -and yes, approach him the wrong way (Cesar explains this in his book) but he lets them all touch his lovely face. We're talking a 130 pound full blood wolf looking dog here. He is friendly to other dogs, children and cats. He only barks when I allow it.

But God help you if you ever lay a hand on me in anger. My dog knows all about protecting me without being taught- because of the essential nature Cesar explains brilliantly in this book. All I have to do is make the "Sssstt!" sound and my German Shepherd snaps his attention to me. A smile, nod, playful "Unh-uh", or hand signal and he immediately obeys. Our relationship is like remote control by telepathy and mutual respect.

Cesar is right - I never have to tell my dog "how much daddy loves you..." with a cookie. Tyler senses my energy. He keeps me emotionally balanced just as Cesar predicts. That is what dogs can do for humans - connect us with Mother Nature.

Thank you Cesar Millan! You are a magnificent soul! God bless you and your family. Bravo!

Cesar's Way is now My way.

Before I bought two of Cesar's books ("Cesar's way" and "Be the pack leader") I made sure to read the negative reviews as well as the positives. A lot of what I was reading was people's disdain for Cesar's personal story in the first third of the book. And while, his later books are more streamlined, and better written I think that beginning in the beginning is the best places to start. You learn not only HOW he developed his techniques by WHY. And those two are equally as important.

The last half is the best half, with bullet points and practical instructions. ( I especially liked the specific instructions for bringing a dog home for the first time, and how to make feeding a positive ritual with your dog.)

Cesar has a natural ability, you can see it in his posture,his presence and in the way he interacts with dogs, but the techniques are also scientifically sound. It makes sense to me to interact with dogs the way they interact with each other!

Give the book a fair chance, read the whole thing before writing a bad review. Everything in context folks...

?I rehabilitate dogs. I train people.? ?Cesar Millan

There are at least 68 million dogs in America, and their owners lavish billions of dollars on them every year. So why do so many pampered pets have problems? In this definitive and accessible guide, Cesar Millan?star of National Geographic Channel?s hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan?reveals what dogs truly need to live a happy and fulfilled life.

From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America?s most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense?his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar?s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions.

Cesar?s formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected.

Whether you?re having issues with your dog or just want to make a good bond even stronger, this book will give you a deeper appreciation of how your dog sees the world, and it will help make your relationship with your beloved pet a richer and more rewarding one.

Learn what goes on inside your dog?s mind and develop a positive, fulfilling relationship with your best friend

In Cesar?s Way, Cesar Millan?nationally recognized dog expert and star of National Geographic Channel?s hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan?helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. You?ll learn:

? What your dog really needs may not be what you?re giving him

? Why a dog?s natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship

? How to relate to your dog on a canine level

? There are no ?problem breeds,? just problem owners

? Why every dog needs a job

? How to choose a dog who?s right for you and your family
