5 out of 5 stars Be The Pack Leader   August 28, 2008

I don't have satellite, and so I rely on the season DVDs to watch Cesar Millan. I am always impressed and inspired. Watching and listening to him has carried over into my relationship with my horses. I have enjoyed hearing an expanded version of his philosophy on this audio book, Be The Pack Leader. I suspect most fans of Cesar have carried his concepts over into their relationship with the human species also. I have appreciated him because he confirmed so many things that animals have taught me. My only complaint about this CD is that it is abridged, and I would have preferred the full, 9 hour edition.

2 out of 5 stars big disappointment   July 31, 2008
I had really been looking forward to reading this book. When I read it I was very disappointed. Cesar Milan doesn't offer anything new, he reiterates the whole energy thing yet doesn't provide step by step instructions on dealing with difficult behaviors like aggression, leash pulling, nipping etc. There's also too much filler, for example stories and testimonials from his show and an entire chapter devoted to breed types. That info can be found over the internet for free. I've found better information on the web and it didn't cost me twenty five bucks. The book is just too abstract and doesn't offer any remedies. I'd advise anyone who wants to read this book to wait until they have it at their local library, don't spend good money on it.


1 out of 5 stars Cesar's Way and The Other Way   July 29, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Cesar's method of training is called Dominance Training. It is based on flawed wolf research from the 1940's. There where three majors flaws and they were:
A) Very little time was spent observing wolves and what was watched was mostly hunting
B) The researchers misinterpreted rituals such as alpha rolling. They thought that the dominate wolf would physically roll the other in reality a lower wolf would offer his muzzle and when the alpha mouthed it the subordinate would willingly roll.
C) The researchers made a huge leap from wolf-wolf to wolf-dog to dog-human.

Wolves are not dogs and dogs should not be treated as a wolf. Treating a dog like a wolf is akin to treating a child like a Chimp. Sure they are similar but there are enough differences that it is not a good idea to treat them the same.

I have three dogs. One was trained using only positive training and two that started out being trained with dominance training then were switched to positive. The one that was comply positively trained is possibly the best worker I have ever seen who will do anything he is asked. One of my other dogs' dog aggression was cured via the positive training method after years of dominance training tactics.

I would recommenced that people read Patricia McConnell's book "The Other End Of The Leash" and try out the suggested techniques in that instead of using out date ideas in Cesar's books.
