- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book follows the already known way of Cesar handling dogs: pack leader is the way. Fun to read and informative.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5what's not to love about Cesar? He's straightforward and simple. I feel more ready now for my corgi puppy.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5We got a puppy yesterday, so I'm seeing if Cesar has any extra wisdom. So far, its more about his breeder friends than anything else. He sure likes his purebreds. But I'm just about to read the socialization chapter and I'm expecting it to get better.
on edit: Not bad, but not great. If you've read Ceaser, than this book is nothing knew. Lots of re-hash. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Didn't really learn anything new.Enjoyed reading about the different puppies and it's fun to try and catch glimpses of them on the show.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My dream is of a world where there are fewer dogs accidentally biting children, fewer dog altercations, and no more fatal dog attacks. By socializing your puppy to dogs and people when she is young and making sure her manners are in order with both species, you are not only shaping a better life for the both of you, you are also contributing to the pro-dog society that I am committed to helping build. p. 228The quote above is just about as Cesar Milan as a person can get. When I was looking for puppy books, I kept finding the same thing over and over again. When I hit Cesar's books, I found the motherload. He intertwines that puppy stuff with Cesar...he takes you into the wolf pack to see how dogs have evolved and WHY certain training techniques work better than others. This makes so much sense to me and is a peaceful, gentle way to train a puppy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dogs begin learning about your authority from the first moment that they meet you. In this book, Cesar walks people through the process of preparing for your puppy, picking out a dog, introducing your new puppy to your home and setting boundaries. Cesar recommends picking a dog with the lower energy level than you have, so you’ll always be able to give your dog enough time and attention. You also need to make sure your home and life is ready for a dog before you commit to raising one. I would highly recommend reading this BEFORE you get a dog. There are so many important tips that I would have liked to know before we brought out dog home. It turns out we did most things right, but there are some things we would have done differently. The book is incredibly helpful no matter what stage you are in with your dog, but would be most beneficial for soon-to-be owners.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very insightful. Cesar looks at nearly all aspects of having a young puppy enter your life. He attempts to equip you for the experience.Our younger sons and I began watching the first season of his television series as I began reading this book. I have now finished watching the first season, along with having finished this book. It is our hope that we will use much of Cesar's wisdom to mold our young pup into a well-adjusted, happy, well-behaved family pet. I am finding that I am a much better pet owner this time; better at caring for the pet, as well as better at guiding it toward proper and acceptable behaviour. My husband has commented that out of all seven people in our family, that I am doing the best and not sending any mixed messages to our young whelp.
