Be the Pack Leader (Abridged): Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life Audiobook

" I enjoy reading Cesar Millan's books because they are easy to read but are really helpful. I'm so glad I read another one before we got our dog and this one was helpful for new information and to reinforce the techniques we learned from the last one. "

" Not so much a how to as a why to. Very good at explaining why dogs behave the way they do and how we need to behave to provide a good home. Very good read for anyone who wants to understand why dogs do the things they do. "

" cool, maybe i can get my dog to behave better. the narrator was terrible though. he sounded like he was trying to smile the whole time, even when he shouldn't. "

" Hahaha what can I say? I want to learn to become the pack leeedur. The dog whisperer=awesome. "

" This was a good book if you want to learn to control your dog and your life in a calm assertive way. It was pretty typical dog whisperer. It had some good advice in it. "

" What I pretty much got out of this book was to work on yourself and your own insecurities and anxieties. If you are "calm and assertive" in your everyday life then your dog will respect you as the alpha you need to be in order to train him. That's great advice and all but what I really wanted was a step by step plan to get my Chiuhaua to stop jumping on and trying to french kiss everyone. only about 10% of this book was Do and Do Not. I skimmed through a lot of it. There were some great tips and useful information but I basically wanted the book to read "This is what you do. Do this and it will work every time." "

" Very similar to his first book, but I'm an avid Cesar fan, so I enjoyed it. "

" Great approach although don't know that I agree with all the ideas. Definitely need to lead the dog though so the book reinforced this important practice. "

" The "meat" of the book is towards the end of the book. The first part mainly deals with Ceasr's background - how he came into this line of work. I wasn't overly impressed, but there were some good tips/insights. "

" listened on cd. Cesar could be my alpha anytime! "

" A great read for anyone who has a dog or dogs. I learned so much about being the pack leader to my dogs. "

" This book was good and taught me some valuable things and more importantly, made me think about and analyze Cesar's philosophies, not just regarding dog behavior, but also human behavior. I thought Cesar's first book, Cesar's Way was better, though. This is a quick and easy read. "

" This book is much better than Cesar Milan's first book Cesar's Way. His method really does work for our family! "

" OK, we have a new dog, a puppy. I'm reading this book and it's very interesting and helpful and also makes me roll my eyes a bit. "

" i only read this to help my dog penny. and it was helpful! "

" Maybe this will get my boss to stop biting. "

" Enjoying this book very much! "

" 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. "

" Great book for any dog owner. Ceasar talks about the fundamentals of dogs being pack animals and how to get what you want from them...always calm and assertive, of course! "

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

" If you don't like Dog Whisperer you won't like this book. This book is very much like the show. "

" just like the first book "

" Good ideas that make sense. My dog responds well to Cesar's suggestions. "

" Interesting subject. I just started reading this book. I'm in the first chapter "

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

" 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. "

" My wife Jessi and I got two dogs that had been left in a foreclosed home. We made the mistake of feeling sorry for them and treating them like they were hurting somehow. This made them take the role of crazy in-charge dog. Having this book has helped us get them back to good dogs...sort of! "

" Yes...I'm actually reading this.I'm a single puppy momma, what can I say? Gotta learn somehow... "

" Much more technique oriented than it's predecessor. Full review, eventually. "

" With five children and two dogs, we absolutely needed some power in our pack! "

" Good. It was a follow up to the first book. Lots of the sane ideas were reinforced while it elaborated on the how tos of the first book "

" Excellent way to think about training dogs or rearing children. Calm, assertive energy, not passively watching or aggressively punishing. "

" did not finish, probably should have. "

" It was an interesting, new way to look at dog behavior. We are trying out Cesar's recomendations and keeping our fingers crossed that there is hope for Bradely the Bassett in our family. He has a naughty growling habit if he thinks you want his seat or bed. "

" This is totally not my kind of book so I find it hard to rate. Seemed easy to read and informative, I wanted to believe all he had to say, it makes sense. "

" Very much the same as Cesar's Way. Good book for owners of large aggressive dogs. "
