Book Reviews of Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life
Book Review: Understanding "Calm, Assertive Energy"
Summary: 5 Stars
This book on cd, read by Cesar, does an excellent job of explaining more about the "calm, assertive energy" that is key in being the pack leader. Cesar shares stories and talks more about the affect of energy in our life as well as our dog's life. I loved it!Book Review: Dogmatic Lies not Backed by Fact
Summary: 1 Stars
Cesar Milan does it again with this book. He has been denounced by all credentialed trainers and PHD'ed behaviorists around the world. The Humane Society even feels his methods are cruel and inhumane. His training methods are based on "wolf pack" research that has since been found to be false. There are no alpha wolves, and what we once knew as wolf packs are really small family groups. Wolves do not "alpha roll" one another as Cesar Milan shows owners how to do to their dogs. They do not employ fear and intimidation tactics like Cesar. Choke chains, shock collars, collar jerks...these are all things of the past. There is no need to make man's best friend fear us. We have over 50 years of research into training that s hows us that Cesar's Way is the WRONG way.
There is a reason why Cesar will not be interviewed by modern trainers and behaviorists. That reason is that his methods are not backed by fact. His methods are dangerous, and can fast ruin a dog. Sure, they make for great reality TV, but do we really want to be hurting and scaring our dogs ? Choking an animal is still choking, even if one does it calmly. If you love your dog, please respect them and learn to relate to them in a way that does not scare or hurt them.
Book Review: I trust in his word
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I haven't had the time to read his newest book, I have the utmost confidence that it's a great book filled with information that will help me to continuing being the best pack leader ever. I recommend both books for people who have no clue how to raise their dogs. I have 2 dogs and they can be a handful.Book Review: This book could be re-titled "Zen and the Art of Dog Training"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book. Don't be mislead into thinking it's a book about dog training. It's much more than that. Cesar Millan is a man well along on the path to enlightenment. He has some of the same "renaissance man" qualities that we can recognize in people like Steve Irwin and John Denver. These people have the ability to define life and expand the awareness others. They bring harmony to what might otherwise be chaos. They are antennas for picking up and transmitting all we know that is good about life. I strongly urge everyone to read this book. You will be better for it and the world will be better too. Book Review: More of the same
Summary: 1 Stars
More of the same oversimplification of dominance theory from the celebrity trainer du jour.
If only settlements were made public...
