Book Reviews of Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life
Book Review: It's a great feeling when you get it.
Summary: 5 Stars
By the end of the book, I got it. I read Cesar's first book and liked it very much but I couldn't get it. I still wanted it so I bought this book too. Now I get it. It's the difference between good parents and great parents, good and great dog owners. It has illuminated my failings as a parent raising my kids and now that they are grown, raising my dogs. It's not about what I want my dogs to do or not do, it's about my own emotions about whether they will trust what I say. I may say come to my dog but my emotions are "what do I do if he doesn't? Will I have to chase him? Should I call him again? Should I punish him? My dogs don't hear come. They hear uncertanity and anxiety. As a choir director and singer I knew what to do to lead my group. They trusted that I knew what I was doing and followed me even if I made a mistake because they accepted my position of authority. But their acceptance was intellectual. With dogs and children you have to earn it. And you can't tell dogs "Because I'm your mother and I said so". It doesn't always work with kids either. So what I got from Cesar is that you have to learn to check your emotions and believe that when you tell your dogs come they will read your assurance that this is what's best for all (or both) of us right now, just like when I tell the choir "turn to page 56 and I only want to hear the altos" they understand I am the leader and want the best for the group. I get it Cesar, and I'm working on it. Book Review: good reading and ideas of becoming a better pack leader
Summary: 5 Stars
I found a lot of good information explaining a lot of what he is doing on his show the dog whisperer
A great gift for the dog lover that treats their dogs like children and wonder why they are having problems with their dog.

Book Review: Pack Leader Help
Summary: 4 Stars
Cesar Millan's "Be the Pack Leader" was informative if somewhat poorly written. There were many grammatical mistakes which surprised me since it was co-written and, hopefully, edited.
There were a few sentences that made no sense whatsoever. Overall, I felt his recommendations were very helpful since I volunteer at an animal shelter.
I would recommend it for the content but not an English class project!
Book Review: Dopey book
Summary: 2 Stars
Book really didn't say anything; more of "I did this and this". No really new ways to train your dog. Not at all impressed even though I like his tv show.Book Review: A Book for Dog Lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
A terrific book for dog lovers, with great insights into how to establish an outstanding relationship with your pet.
