Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog...And Your Life Audiobook

" Wow. Clear and simple, but presents some research that is mind-bogglingly applicable to human leadership of a pack of any species. If you are interested in the power of non-verbal communication, this is an interesting read. I don't think you necessarily even need to read Cesar's Way to "get" this one, either. "

" I want to copy the appendix out of the back of this and send it to all the dog owners I know... "

" I have become a devoted Cesar Millan follower. His view of humanity, the condition of American dogs and perhaps even the condition of American culture is both convicting and challenging. "

" Cesar is the man! The world needs more compassionate human beings like him! "

" Inspire your dogs to greatness. In the annals of unlikely famous people Cesar Millan, Mexican immigrant dog behavior specialist must rank somewhere near Rebecca Black and Bruce Jenner's children. Straight out of South Central L.A. Millan brings his own brand of dog psychology (no seriously, he has a dog psychology center) to pet owners who pick up his book. His advice? First, don't let you dog walk ahead of you. Never clear does Millan make the reasons why this is such a no-no nor does he cogently explain how this prohibition applies to life behind the morning walk of your pooch. While Millan does touch on larger life lessons on occasion, but much of the book covers practical concerns such as the pluses and minuses of various leash types. Much of it as well deals with the practical business of advertising his dog behavior center, private speaking engagements and his wife's dog accessories concern. Millan's ghost writer's writing style is of decent journeyman quality. However, the book gets downright awkward where the ghost writer introduces anecdotes about herself as if Millan were turning the platform over to her. Clearly, the ghostwriter struggles to find enough filler to pad out this latest "dog whisperer" book to acceptable length. In short, your dog needs "transformation" to about the same degree you can learn to navigate complex human inter-relationships by watching your dog sniff through the underbrush in search of feces. "

" Ceasar is amazing! If you don't watch his show, The Dog Whisperer, you should. Even if you don't have a dog. His books delve deeper into his methods and definitely help you become the pack leader. "

" I love Cesar! Every dog owner needs to read this book! "

" He gets some things really wrong and the things he gets right I think are hard for owners to finesse with the same skill that he has especially without seeing him in action. "

" I really liked this book too, even though the first one was 'better' in my opinion. I see a lot of people don't like his 'way', but like I wrote in my first review, everyone has to find their own dog training technique, what works for one/one dog, might not work for the other/other dog. "

" This is less about dog training and more an autobiography. Great read! "

" Easy reading, but almost a little too heavy on the self-improvement flavor for my tastes. It does have three or four good points when it comes to living with dogs, and the rest of the pages are spent restating the same things in different words. "

" Yes, I have a dog now. "

" I read this before we adopted a dog. It was a great resource for animal psychology and his views on how to interact with animals are helpful. "

" I love Cesar. And...have you met Gatsby??? "

" I wish it had more actual advice and less ideas. I still need to take my pups to training. "

" It was just ok. I had read Cesar's Way also and a lot of the information was the same, but then again how much can be said on the subject? It really didn't give me enough of the kind of information I need. "

" Worth reading for any dog owner or dog lover. "

" This book is awesome for any dog owner. I'm in the process of becoming Chloe's pack leader! "

" I think talked about the reasoning behind behind the pack leader but was disappointed he didn't give any tips on how to do it. "

" Part of my quest to become a good owner. Good dog insight -- not a training book. "

" okay, so i didn't finish it but i would highly, highly recommend any of cesar milan's books to any dog owner. when i have a dog i am totally going to be the pack leader. "

" Every dog owner should at least read if not own this book. Whether or not you like Cesar, his deep understanding of the nature and psyche of the canine species is undeniable and should be respected and followed if you want the best for the health and welfare of your beloved pets. "

" I just love Caesar so it's fun to read about the dog human connection in the impact of calm assertive leadership. "

" If you have a bad dog or are thinking of getting a dog and want him to be a good dog... listen to Cesar. "

" Simple and effective philosophy.. often strangely applicable to people as well. "

" This is more of a reference book that I'll continue to read as I need to. But love Cesar's idea of Calm Assertiveness. It can really be used in all aspects of life if you think about it. "

" Not very impressed. Could use a true strategy book, not a toot your own horn fluff piece. "

" Cesar, thy way is too perfect. You (and Martha Stewart) bring out all my control freak, OCD tendencies. I will take what you say to heart and practice being calm, assertive (which I am almost NEVER), but I will not let you make me feel inferior. "

" He makes it sound all to easy. "

" I love this guy, Caesar Milan! He's incredible! The book is great by itself, but I followed up with a DVD with some of his favorite episodes of his TV show, "The Dog Whisperer" which brought it all together in reality. I am planning to get a puppy soon. "

" Good information. A little too much of a narrative. I'd recommend skimming it for the information you need. "

" I was given "How to Raise.." when I was thinking about getting a puppy. Had I not read Cesar's guide page by page there is no way I would have been prepared to welcome a 12 week furry friend into my home. This is a must read for any first time puppy owner. "

" We LOVE Cesar. If only someone understood people as well as he understands dogs. "

" Some advice I agree with, some I don't. Reader beware. "

" Wish I had read this pre-Won Ton. "

" Some useful, general advice, but I would have liked more specifics. "

" Absolutely recommend this book for anyone getting a puppy!!I read it AFTER we got our puppy, BUT there is SO much that I wish I would have known beforehand.Really informative!! "

" Good if you HAVEN'T gotten a dog yet..has lots of information on preparing to bring puppy home and how to start. Not so good if you already have the dog.. "

" I was seeking practical, concise, hands on advice. What I got was a whole lot of words that did not translate into action for me & my pup. I still like Cesar but there wasn't anything new or actionable in this book. "
