“I rehabilitate dogs. I train people.” —Cesar Millan
There are at least 68 million dogs in America, and their owners lavish billions of dollars on them every year. So why do so many pampered pets have problems? In this definitive and accessible guide, Cesar Millan—star of National Geographic Channel’s hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan—reveals what dogs truly need to live a happy and fulfilled life.
From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America’s most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense—his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar’s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions.
Cesar’s formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected.
Whether you’re having issues with your dog or just want to make a good bond even stronger, this book will give you a deeper appreciation of how your dog sees the world, and it will help make your relationship with your beloved pet a richer and more rewarding one.
Learn what goes on inside your dog’s mind and develop a positive, fulfilling relationship with your best friend
In Cesar’s Way, Cesar Millan—nationally recognized dog expert and star of National Geographic Channel’s hit show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan—helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. You’ll learn:
• What your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving him
• Why a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship
• How to relate to your dog on a canine level
• There are no “problem breeds,” just problem owners
• Why every dog needs a job
• How to choose a dog who’s right for you and your family
• The difference between discipline and punishment
• And much more!
Filled with fascinating anecdotes about Cesar’s longtime clients, and including forewords by the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is the only book you’ll need to forge a new, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.
Also available as a Random House AudioBook
From the Hardcover edition.

Summary: A Great Read! Lots of Info
Comment: It works if your willing to change your attitude toward the whole training process and most importantly invest QUALITY time into it!!!
I read this book in 2 days. I just couldn't put it down! Cesar's approach makes you think and re-evaluate everything you ever knew of training and dogs in general. I believe he is a sincere man. His love for dogs is evident. As he says though, love isn't enough. I applied his techniques to both of my Dogs with great results. The WALK is most important before anything else. The thsst sound works great with my dogs when I feel they're pulling away from the calm-submissive state.
I'm just about done with his 2nd book. "Becoming the Pack Leader". This book is more explainatory as far as the behaviors/personalities of your specific dog, and what to do. It also explains in great detail ALL the tools (leashes, harnesses,collars etc...) for training, the pros and the cons, and how to use them effectively.
I'm not one to jump on the band wagon when it comes to a new fade, or "guru", but Cesar Millan's realness and compasion for ALL living things really struck my heart. I feel through these books I have become a better person as well. I recommend any Ceasar Millan product. I probably won't go out and get all the food, dog beds, toys etc... but as far as the learning tools I'm there!!!
Peace!! Stay Calm-Assertive In the words of Bob Barker, "Help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neutered goodbye everyone!!!"

Summary: ok reading but not a lot about training...
Comment: Cesar talked a lot about himself, his background, etc. Which is fine, drops a lot of names (repeatedly) and doesn't really get into any training facts. Guess it wasn't what I was looking for.

Summary: helpful tips
Comment: I purchased this product after viewing a collection of Cesar's dvd's. They don't provide "How to..." for training a dog to do "Things"(sit, down, etc.) but they are very insightful in understanding how to have a good relationship with your pet as dog and master. The book has helped us get off to a good start with our new puppy.
