Customer Reviews

interesting but nothing new
As said before if you watch his show most of what is in the book will be nothing new, if you are looking for advice on specific problems and how to cure them this is not for you.
It really just goes over cesar's attitude towards dealing with your dog rather than an specifics.
It is nicely written and I did enjoy reading it and it did give me a push to be more confident around my dogs to help influence them which I do feel helps, although I'm not into alpha rolls or choke chains.
If you are looking for the miracle cures you see him do on TV, look somewhere else, like a trainer/behaviourist, but if you already have a dog and don't feel totally incontrol this may give you a bit of a lift to be more confident in their handling.

Not what I thought
This book is well written for the most part and almost appears to be an autobiography in places which is a plus for Milan fans.

However...

Having tried the techniques on my own dog I realised that they are not for everyone and should not be touted as such.

I also found the book to be more than enlightening on what these techniques ACTUALLY involve, which you dont get to see on the TV.

Unfortunately (and as an ex-fan I mean this whole-heartedly) it did not meet my expectations as a book for training advice, although it is still a good buy if you are looking for life advice or to know more about Cesar himself.

Doggie Style
I've been an avid watcher of "The Dog Whisper" on The Discovery Cannel for a while, so I was thrilled to read a book by one of my hero's, Cesar Milan. As the proud owner of a pitbull (Topper) I have a vested interest in Ceasr's magic. I used to feel guilty making Topper surrender to my commands. But as pack animals, dogs need and love having boundaries. My dog is not a person. He is a D-O-G who will take the lead, if I don't. I've noticed a shift in my dog's energy since he has started listening to my "calm and assertive" nature. Cesar states that "Dogs live in the moment". My dog has been doing naturally what I've been striving to do all my life.

I've found an easy way to access the moment by reading "How To Create A Magical Relationship" by Ariel and Shya Kane. This engaging and inspiring book effortlessly dropped me into the moment by simply listening. Hey, if my dog can listen, so can I. Enjoy!
