You've seen Cesar on TV and you think it's a miracle and you want to have that "miracle" too. In our opinion, Cesar's Way will not give you the miracle you're hoping for. It's a book about Cesar Millan's philosophy, being the leader of a dog pack, and has very little guidance for training a dog. If you do read the book, please do not alpha roll your dog under any circumstance. You or someone you love very much could get bitten. If you have an aggressive or "red zone" dog, please seek positive professional help. SitStay carries Millan's book because we want to turn you on to something better...positive dog training. We have lots of books that you should look at. We love our dogs and we know you love yours. The SitStay Dogs are trained with purely positive training. Have you heard of clicker training? It's fast, easy, and fun for everyone. Dogs love it and it truly can work miracles! Do we totally disagree with Cesar Millan? No, we also think that dogs should get lots and lots and lots of walking/running with the people in their lives. We agree that exercise is a big part of a happy and healthy life for both you and your dog. Dogs are the best exercise machines ever invented and they are happiest when getting exercise. Put on your shoes, grab a leash, and go! Your dog will love you for it! (© 2006, Hardcover, 300 pages)

The Very Best

Cesar knows what goes on it a dogs head. It all put out in clear easy to understand language. I would recommend this book to any person who is a dog owner or before they become one. Its an update to some very old thinking about dog training. Definitely a must have.

A Must Read for Any Dog Owner

A must read for ANY dog owner! You won't truelly understand how to love and care for your dog until you read this book!

Great information on how Cesar started and his phylosophy

I learned about energy shift needed in oneself to acquire change in the dog's behaviour. Before reading the book I did not get how he did that transformation in the dogs just watching the videos, I needed to read the book before I "got it".

It helped me change my life with my dogs and with people as the same energy is needed to deal with oneself and others.

Fantastic Guide for Dog Lovers

Cesar does it again with a great book. If you're an animal lover overall with horses as well, then Joe Camp's book "Soul of A Horse" will also touch your heart and teach you many things about animals and life in general. The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd

Gems of Knowledge Through Autobiography

This book has several pages of gems about the human-dog relationship. I found these gems, that could have been summarized on a page or two, to be quite useful in working with a rescued Australian Shepherd. To get these gems with an explanation you will need to read Cesar's story which is interesting enough but does not carry the book.

So read the book for these gems, essentially:
(1) That you treat a dog like a dog, and not a human baby. Cesar's point is that we act in ways that are counter-intuitive to dog culture. We do not realize that dogs first communicate with the nose, then the eyes (watching and decoding our moves and their meanings) and then ears.
(2) That we must be calm-assertive (or what I prefer to call calm-confident) -- that if you are nervous your dog will pick it up, that if you get angry your dog will find a way to resist the very behavior that would have made you happy.
(3) That exercise, and lots of it, is critical to a calm, balanced dog (key concept here is balanced and stable -- most dog pets aren't). That discipline (meaning consistent application of rewards for desirable behavior, and interrupting undesirable behavior) is critical to a dog that knows its place in YOUR pack, and that affection, which is LAST on Cesar's list, should be carefull meted out so as not to thoughtlessly enforce undesirable behavior. If you are lazy and will not exercise your dog properly, get a goldfish! If you are undisciplined yourself, get a pet rock! If you need affection, do not make it your dog's problem. Get a lover!

Thanks, Cesar, for an enjoyable book!
