Rating: - 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

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.

Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - Necessary For All Dog Owners
After reading Cesar's first book and becoming familiar with his training and teaching methods, I struggled with translating those techniques to suit what my dog needed and what I wanted. This book made it all come together and more.
I highly recommend this book and suggest reading Cesar's first book in addition.
