 Cesar amazes me in a good way December 5, 2008
Joe B (Atlanta)
At 62 and having Dogs in the family since I was [...], I'm obviously hooked on Dogs. I also love Cats. I've had good luck and less than good luck with Dogs. Some have been docile and eager to follow and others quite the opposite. I've always liked Cesar's Dog Whisperer shows on TV and have been amazed with what he does being gentle and respectful of Dogs. When I grow up, I wanna be just like him.
My wife died after a long illness last year and her/our Dog Sammy died this past summer. He was 16 years old and a fear biter. She and I were the only people who could handle him and often, not very well.
I adopted a 3 month old Puppy from an Animal rescue shelter. Being retired and having all day every day to be with Zoe who is a sweet little girl, I decided that I was gonna start off doing things the right way rather than guessing my way through it and taking advice from everybody who wanted to give me their input. I bought everything by Cesar I could get my hands on. Be The Pack Leader is one of them.
I quickly discovered that the bad luck we had with Dogs in the past was not luck at all. Some Dogs fit into our personalities and others didn't. We didn't train and nurture the Dogs for their individual personalities like Cesar does. Cesar's methods not only work but also are extremely easy to follow and accomplish. Much easier than guessing your way through it and getting frustrated. Which also frustrates the Dog causing behaviour problems. It's NOT the fault of the Dog! It's the fault of the parent - you or me.
If you want a happy and well adjusted Dog and be happy and well adjusted yourself, have actual fun training your Dog or Puppy, then follow Cesar's methods and advice. You and your Dog will be glad you did.
Cesar is our pack leader December 2, 2008

If you've watched Cesar then you know how amazing his message is. This book, when reading it, make you feel like he is narrating an episode in your ear. Its a wonderful book that breaks down the information into smaller segments so that you can focus on a particular subject and also allows you to get more detailed information on the subjects he teaches! LOVE IT

1. He is not an expert on animal/dog behavior.
2. Does not practice current scientific findings on canine behavior and/or training by the Animal Behaviour Inst. or by the American Assc. of Pet Dog Trainers. Nor approved by either.
3. Not positive based.
4. Yet another media based push & sell by non-professionals.
Dogs are not objects, they are living beings with thoughts, emotions, feelings and are prone to most mental, physical problems & diseases as humans. Just as humans learn best by positive, stress free, stimulating, fun enviroments & teachers so do our dogs.
I would strongly suggest the dog training books by Pat Miller-very very good and lessons laid out quite well- From basic to "I'm stumped".
And can be bought here too!
I had a "biter" only to find that my dog was noise/sound sensitive, the litter grew up in an area of the home with very little human home sounds. Once I discovered that (which took a small library & conversations with a host of professionals, only then did I figure it out on my own by putting all the pieces together and my dog's young history) I then found Pat Miller's books which led me down the correct path in helping my dog overcome his fears. He no longer bites, he is very very smart & loving, but he does still notice every little sound, even the vets office music, and he will startle with a sudden noise-much like a horse. But zero bites! TG I found out about desensitization, counter conditoning, and positive training. I have a healthy wonderful weimariner-my best bud.

Cesar is so in touch with Nature, we should all strive for this in our lives. Our Animals will thank us and so will our human friends. He gives us tools and advice on using them, but, in the end it all comes back to treating a dog like a dog and not a object.
 Did not like this method November 17, 2008

It is just my personal taste, but I consider this not a nice way to train your dog. There are other methods out there that use different methods.
