Take a Breath

The major criticism of Millan is that his methods are too "harsh". What people fail to realize is that 1) the technique of "flooding" (forcing the dog to face/experience the things he fears (giving him praise and positive reinforcement each time) until he realizes there is nothing to be anxious about, while not often appropriate for humans is EXACTLY the way to approach animal/dog behavior; 2) touching the dog with an approximation of a mother dog's mouth (hand open, fingers apart like teeth) is not hurting the dog; neither is touching it with your foot while the dog isn't looking; 3)this man LOVES and RESPECTS dogs and would NEVER hurt them. AND he is not training dogs; he is rehabililtating them from being out of balance with their natures.

Get a grip, folks. There's always a critic out there, especially when someone has made a name for him/herself.

I've lived with/trained dogs since I was 5 years old and this man has taught/reminded me of many things that have improved my Doberman's behavior. He is now even happier than he was and I am trying to train myself to stop the behaviors that keep my dog unstable. If people don't like some of his methods then use only the ones you like. If you don't like any of them then go back to your own life and leave him alone.

This book, even more than his other one, is invaluable. Unless, of course, you don't want to look at your own dysfunctional behavior.

READ THIS REVIEW!!!

I adopted a 6 month old male mastiff mix. From the time we brought him home he was a little nervous and he became more and more fear aggresive. By the time he was a year and a half I had paid two dog behaviorists, one dog trainer and one dog psychologists and no one came close to helping. Some behaviorists and trainers refused to take on the challenge, one in particular even said I should put him down because he would end up attacking someone. Then a friend told me about Cesar Milan's show and I was hooked from the first show. I bought the book, took notes from the shows, and I used the techniques. I have a completely differrent dog now, we work consistently with him and he's finally a great, well adjusted member of the family.
I've read reviews from trainers that say that Cesar's techniques are improper but those are the same kind of trainers that suggested that I give up and put my boy to sleep. Sargeant(my dog) had to trust that I was strong enough to lead him so he wouldn't feel the need to fear. Cesar Milan is a miracle worker!

I'm a Believer

When the Dog Whisperer appeared on tv I was a skeptic. Two years and a well behaved dog later, I am a believer. His technique is simple and straightforward - he trains people and lets them dictate the dog's behavior. I recommend this one. Now if I could teach my dog to go out and bring in the morning newspaper I would really be happy.

Great info for your life and your dog

I am so awe struck by this book. I am learning so much information that not only is making me take a look at myself and how I can improve my life but helps with understanding my dogs and how I can make their life better for them and myself. A must read even if you don't own a pet.

dog training book

I am hoping that with this book I can have a turn at being the pack leader. Up to now the dog has been winning! I am making good progress to that end with the help of Cesar Millan's books.
