Cesar Millan – nationally recognized dog expert – helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors. 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 listeners 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.
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 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 stronger, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.

Essential Guide for Understanding and Training Dogs
Is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to better understand their dog’s behavior and build a stronger bond with their pet. Cesar Millanâs insights into dog psychology are eye-opening and incredibly practical.The book focuses on understanding a dog’s natural instincts and how to work with them rather than against them. Cesar explains how your energy and behavior as an owner can shape your dog’s actions, which was a game-changer for me. His methods are straightforward and based on creating a balanced and harmonious relationship with your dog.Whether youâre dealing with specific behavioral problems or just want to raise a happy, well-adjusted pet, this book provides all the tools and knowledge you need. Itâs written in a clear, engaging way that makes it enjoyable and easy to follow. Highly recommend it to all dog owners! ððð¡

All Dog Owners Should Read This Book!
I truly think that every dog owner should read this book and have as a reference. Cesar’s books are written in a very entertaining and thorough way, however, you should have the right expectation in order to be satisfied with this purchase. This is not a step-by-step instruction on how to teach your dog to do tricks, or step-by-step how to solve your problems. However, if you are experiencing frustration with your dog’s antics, behavior, or just want a better relationship and more understanding between you and your pet, this is a GREAT way to start.Cesar does give case studies to illustrate his points; some people complain that there are no examples, but I disagree. Because Cesar’s effort is more toward people training than dog training per se, most of his effort is geared toward YOU- understanding your dog’s way of seeing the world, understanding the evolution of your dog’s mind from wolf to domesticated pet, and knowing how to look inside yourself to find the solution to your issues. In a way, it’s more of a dog psychology book than a training book. Even if you don’t agree with Cesar’s methods and don’t agree with the points that he makes in his teachings, at least consider it before you brush it off. I personally find his points to be very true for me. He does make the point though, that each person needs to find the right method that works for them because there are many ways of training your dog and there is no right way for everyone. So, read it, take what rings true for you, and leave the rest.I noticed, after reading this, that it was very true, that my energy and emotions directly affected not only my dog, but also my children! When I’d get stressed, I notice all of a sudden, the house would erupt in energy- my usually medium-energy children would start going nuts, breaking all the rules, screaming in the house, playing rough inside, etc…and the dog- she’d get all crazy too- picking up things for toys that she knows are off limits, running around and knocking down the kids (she’s a Great Dane puppy), and just losing her grip! (shes also very docile indoors normally). I didn’t see it at first, then when I realized that I had just fed this frenzy with my tension, I saw that I had to have better control over myself in order to make the changes that I want to see with my puppy- and subsequently, with my kids. How crazy, that getting a dog in the house would end up making me a better parent!I love the way that Cesar manages to articulate a way to communicate with your dog that doesn’t require hitting for correction- in fact, he says to never hit a dog! Yet, by learning how to communicate properly with your dog, use corrections with proper timing and energy, you can get their respect and affection and know that your dog is leading a full life because their needs are being met too. A dog NEEDS bounderies, she needs rules, and first and foremost, she NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS exercise!! She needs affection when the time is right, but affection is such a powerful tool that rather than worrying only about meeting my needs, I have to meet her needs first. This is probably the hardest concept to really take to heart for me and most people since we love them and know that they love us too. Trust me though, you can see it happen like magic when you apply the right technique and philosophy. It’s amazing.Now that we have mastered the walk, I look forward to our “migration” time and it’s very obvious that she does too. Now she even waits for permission to enter or exit the house! We didn’t even teach her that, we just used Cesar’s methods to own the space by the door, established ourselves as proper pack leaders, and she just fell in to her place. She’s happy and so are we. (Of course, a pack leader’s work is never done and we’re constantly trying to improve our consistency, our energy, and our methods).I’ve always loved dogs, and looking back, I can see all the mistakes I’ve made before very clearly. I know that this dog is going to be the best I’ve ever had, and I look forward to our years together. I can’t wait for her to help raise our next dog too!Read this. Then read Cesar’s book “Be the Pack Leader”. The themes are similar but there’s more expanding upon having the right leadership energy. I plan to read all of his books- not only are they just a good read, but they really help cement the concepts into my subconsious. I want to be the best pack leader I can be and to help my dogs be the awesome dogs they were born to be. It takes practice to know yourself, and to practice self-control when you’re deep in an emotion. Maybe all your friends will think you’re crazy because of the “new age” way you look at dog training- I know my family did- but it’s not “new age” it’s old school- really, really old school…like nature intended, and you’ll never go back to humanizing your pets again when you see how truly happy they are being dogs!

This is a great book, but not a “How To Guide’
After reading a lot of positive reviews and many of the negative ones, I decided to try this book out. It’s really good. Cesar is not a dog trainer, he is a dog psychologist. Due to this, you aren’t going to get any how to and “do this, do that” type instructions which as far as I can tell is the major turnoff with some folks.But that aside, if you are paying attention, you get more than enough information to help out a problem dog. I don’t know that I would read this book and then try to correct a “Red Zone”, powerful breed dog, but I am very confident that I will be able to teach our Daschund a few things.I think you need to be able to read between the lines to pick up on the subtleties Cesar talks about in the book. If you’ve seen his TV show, you know how he does correction, and he explains it in the book several times as well. I don’t think it’s really about how you do it, or what kind of leash you use or what noise you make when you are correcting behavior.I think it’s about correcting your dog at the right moment, and when you are in the right frame of mind (most important I believe). I also believe that a lot of your success depends on how much you exercise your dog. I know a lot of people have a problem with this book because he talks about exercising your dog many, many times, but that is for a reason.A tired dog is simply more apt to take correction than an excited dog is. It’s like helping your kid with their homework. Would you get better results when the child is relaxed and in a mode to learn, or after they’ve just eaten 52 candy bars and are on a sugar-terror?That’s the idea Cesar is giving in this book. I think this book is something you’ll have to read for yourself to find out if it is for you or not. If you are the type of person who gets the bigger picture, you will see many opportunities to help your dog enjoy his/her life a lot more after reading it.If you need step-by-step instructions, you will be much better off with a traditional “training” guide. Cesar says a few times in the book that in a perfect world, positive reinforcement with tasty treats would always be the way to go, but for so many people and their dogs this just isn’t going to work as well as something a bit more advanced.I highly recommend this book regardless of what kind of dog you have or what their problems are. At the very least, it’s a really good read.

Iâm enjoying learning about Cesarâs understanding of the way a dogâs mind works. How, no matter how long dogs live with humans, they are still animals with a pack mentality. Cesarâs insights and methods are helping me be a better pet sitter. I love the way his writing is simple and yet he makes comparisons to humans and our way of communication. Any one could read this book and learn from it.
