Amazon.com Review
Fans of the National Geographic Channel's The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan will be grateful for Cesar's Way, an accessible guide to help new and current dog owners better understand the needs of their beloved pets. If you are not yet a fan, try to catch a couple of episodes of the remarkable show--you will be amazed, impressed, and motivated to create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with your dog. In Cesar's Way, Cesar explains that dogs are not complicated, and despite what various owners think--not human. They rely on three key elements in their lives: exercise, discipline, and affection (in that order). "Problem dogs" can be attributed to "problem owners," owners who don't understand and misinterpret their dog's behavior. Cesar's Way is really a training program for dog owners, with chapters devoted to understanding the "power of the pack," taking responsibility for "how we screw up our dogs," and learning how to manage aggression. Cesar's book (a must-have for new and old dog owners) moves beyond basic obedience school techniques, and teaches owners how to change unwanted behavior by better understanding their "best friends." --Daphne Durham

Cesar Millan's Top 5 Tips for Going to the Dog Park
 1. Make sure your dog is spayed or neutered, has all her shots, and is in good health. Under no circumstances should you bring a sick dog to a dog park!
2. Do not use the dog park as a substitute for the walk! If you drive to the park, leave your car a block away and take your dog on a vigorous walk of at least thirty-five minutes to drain some of her energy. Never take an over-excited dog to the park.
3. While at the park, don't "punch out" on your calm-assertive leadership. Be aware of your dog at all times, and take responsibility for her behavior.
4. A calm-submissive dog will not attract another dog's aggression--but an excited dog, a weak, timid dog, or an aggressive dog can become a fight-magnet.
5. Know your dog! If your dog has poor social skills, is overly fearful or is dog aggressive, or if you have not yet established your calm-assertive leadership with your dog, find a more controlled way to introduce her to the company of other dogs, such as "play dates" with one or two other dog owners.
Product Description
“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.

Book worth Buying November 1, 2009
D. Talarski (Union, MO)
This book for me was worth the money. It went lots deeper with instructions then any video I have purchased from Cesar. It helped me with my timid, shy fearful little dog. As the title says it is the everyday guide and does not contain the glitz that often times the videos do. I would recommend the book as a good read and one could get something from it that would help with their own dog/people problem .
 Good read October 21, 2009
aimeentanner (MO USA)
I thought this was a good book to have to read and refer to. I enjoyed learning about his life, and how he relates to his animals. I do not feel that his way is the right way for every dog, and he does tend to push that. Overall, it was a good, easy read and entertaining.
The best argument ever for NOT owning a dog -- or having kids, for that matter. October 18, 2009

I'm depressed and lonely, and friends have urged "Get a dog". I refrained, because I live by myself in a condo, and can't give a dog the attention it needs. This book convinced me that I /should not/ own a dog, unless and until there is a drastic change in my life that would permit it.
To sum up the book... Dogs are pack animals, and unless you (and every member of your family) become and remain the dog's "pack leader", 24/7, the dog will try to dominate /you/. This requires the owner to enter a state of calm assertion, in order for the dog to respond by entering a state of calm submission. * The discipline needed is more than most people want to put out, and flies in the face of the anthropomophoric belief that dogs are furry humans who respond to attention and affection the way humans do. They don't.
Cesar Millan might not be aware of it, but this book has a lot to say about rearing children. Despite his repeated assertions that humans and dogs are different, he's overlooking the fact taht human children need the same sort of leadership and limit-setting dogs do.
A friend told me that when his daughter was born 30+ years ago, he and his wife decided they would always remain calm around her. You wouldn't believe how well she turned out. Parents who are not calm-assertive are going to have problems raising their kids. I recommend this book to dogless parents even more than I do to dog owners.
* Exception... A small percentage of dogs are genetically calm-submissive all the time. If you can find one, you're in luck.

I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read about this dog whisperer's journey to fame and fortune, ministering to the dogs of the rich and famous. Plus it taught me a lot about caring for dogs.
