Book worth Buying Nov 01, 2009 This book for me was worth the money. It went lots deeper with instructions then any video I have purchased from Cesar. It helped me with my timid, shy fearful little dog. As the title says it is the everyday guide and does not contain the glitz that often times the videos do. I would recommend the book as a good read and one could get something from it that would help with their own dog/people problem .
Good read Oct 21, 2009 I thought this was a good book to have to read and refer to. I enjoyed learning about his life, and how he relates to his animals. I do not feel that his way is the right way for every dog, and he does tend to push that. Overall, it was a good, easy read and entertaining.

The best argument ever for NOT owning a dog -- or having kids, for that matter. Oct 18, 2009 I'm depressed and lonely, and friends have urged "Get a dog". I refrained, because I live by myself in a condo, and can't give a dog the attention it needs. This book convinced me that I /should not/ own a dog, unless and until there is a drastic change in my life that would permit it.
To sum up the book... Dogs are pack animals, and unless you (and every member of your family) become and remain the dog's "pack leader", 24/7, the dog will try to dominate /you/. This requires the owner to enter a state of calm assertion, in order for the dog to respond by entering a state of calm submission. * The discipline needed is more than most people want to put out, and flies in the face of the anthropomophoric belief that dogs are furry humans who respond to attention and affection the way humans do. They don't.
Cesar Millan might not be aware of it, but this book has a lot to say about rearing children. Despite his repeated assertions that humans and dogs are different, he's overlooking the fact taht human children need the same sort of leadership and limit-setting dogs do.
A friend told me that when his daughter was born 30+ years ago, he and his wife decided they would always remain calm around her. You wouldn't believe how well she turned out. Parents who are not calm-assertive are going to have problems raising their kids. I recommend this book to dogless parents even more than I do to dog owners.
* Exception... A small percentage of dogs are genetically calm-submissive all the time. If you can find one, you're in luck.

Cesar's Way Oct 07, 2009 I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read about this dog whisperer's journey to fame and fortune, ministering to the dogs of the rich and famous. Plus it taught me a lot about caring for dogs.
