How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond Audiobook

" After reading many reviews complaining about Cesar's long-winded stories and very little advice, I was not expecting much. I have to say that I loved reading this book. As the owner of a new (2nd) puppy, I found his advice priceless. It may not have been simple, step by step instructions, but if you read the whole book you end up with a greater understanding of dogs as a species. He explains why dogs are so different from humans and must be treated differently. By the time my puppy arrived, how to treat our newest family member! "

" Good overview of puppy-raising philosophy but not enough practical, step-by-step advice "

" Ugh. This guy is annoying :) "

" Entertaining--like the tv show without all the misguided owners. Dogs are NOT people. "

" This book has given me a deep feeling of inferiority that will likely outlive my dog. "

" Good book, but not ground-breaking stuff here. I recommend reading it BEFORE picking out a new puppy--lots of advice on how to select a puppy. Only the last few chapters were helpful. I did find a few tips to employ with Daisy. -e "

" Not being a dog person, I find Cesar fascinating. It has opened up a whole new world. "

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

" Perfect for introducing a new pup into the family. Very much geared toward young puppies.. So maybe not the one to purchase for an older adoption puppy. Generally really useful though! "

" Not written particularly well, but told me what I wanted to know. "

" I really enjoyed this book and have put many of Millan's practices into use with our 5 month old puppy. High recommend for first time puppy owners that simply cannot fathom undertaking something as large as raising a dog without having an instruction manual to tell them how. :) "

" The first half of the book wasn't vey helpful,although I got a lot out of the last half. I would have liked to have had more 'how to' in there. "

" I am going to try his suggestions to raising our puppy. I just skipped the stories that I found didn't pertain to what I wanted and watched his show to get more of an idea of other 'techniques'. "

" Hmmmm, not sure it reads like the title indicates but still full of useful information. "

" Good but a lot of repeated info from his other book. "

" Ah...the joys of a new puppy! It's been so long since I've had a tiny puppy, so I'm trying to learn the tricks! "

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

" It is a good read if you are new or would like to sharpen your knowledge in treating and dealing with dogs "

" Excellent book - doesn't offer everything one needs to raise and train a puppy but definitely provides a strong and necessary foundation. "

" I like this one better than the Monks of New Skete. "

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

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

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

" 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. "

" I am recommending this to all my puppy buyers. "

" Interesting, nonverbal approach to dog-rearing. I'm a little skeptical of the power of "calm-assertive energy," but that might be because I've never seen the Dog Whisperer in action. "

" It is a good read if you are new or would like to sharpen your knowledge in treating and dealing with dogs "

" Started this today - 3-11-11.Easily through the second chapter. It will be interesting to see how this compares to the guide dog training book that I will be receiving soon.Loved it - can't wait to try it out with a puppy. "

" Entertaining--like the tv show without all the misguided owners. Dogs are NOT people. "

" Perfect for introducing a new pup into the family. Very much geared toward young puppies.. So maybe not the one to purchase for an older adoption puppy. Generally really useful though! "

" We have a new puppy and really wanted to raise him the right way. This book was incredibly helpful as well as insightful. He helps you understand the nature of a dog and how to use it to train them. "
