Cesar is our pack leader:
If you've watched Cesar then you know how amazing his message is. This book, when reading it, make you feel like he is narrating an episode in your ear. Its a wonderful book that breaks down the information into smaller segments so that you can focus on a particular subject and also allows you to get more detailed information on the subjects he teaches! LOVE IT
Seriously Over Rated:
1. He is not an expert on animal/dog behavior.
2. Does not practice current scientific findings on canine behavior and/or training by the Animal Behaviour Inst. or by the American Assc. of Pet Dog Trainers. Nor approved by either.
3. Not positive based.
4. Yet another media based push & sell by non-professionals. Dogs are not objects, they are living beings with thoughts, emotions, feelings and are prone to most mental, physical problems & diseases as humans. Just as humans... more info
Amazing:
Cesar is so in touch with Nature, we should all strive for this in our lives. Our Animals will thank us and so will our human friends. He gives us tools and advice on using them, but, in the end it all comes back to treating a dog like a dog and not a object.
Did not like this method:
It is just my personal taste, but I consider this not a nice way to train your dog. There are other methods out there that use different methods.
