"I love Cesar Millan, so Cesar - I'm very sorry to have to say this - but this book sucked.
"The Natural, Everyday Guide to understanding and correcting Common Dog problems" is not actually an "everyday guide" and it does not help you "correct" problems. This is an informative way to understand the mentality of a dog, but it does no good if you've got a dog that you've already semi-screwed up. There is nothing in this book that explains how to actually DO the things to correct a dog's behavior. It explains being calm and assertive, it explains the position of a pack leader, and so on.. but it is VERY repetitive and doesn't offer much help.
Cesar.. you need a book that talks step by step on each behavior problem!! I've ordered some of his videos. Hopefully those are better than this book was!
(edit) - I have to add.. all the name dropping did not help either. Ok, we get it Cesar.. you've worked with celebrities.. but I couldn't care less. Also, how many times do you have to mention your show and what network it's on????? That was very annoying."
"You know, I wanted to like this book. I also wanted some HELP from this book. I don't have a terrible dog, but I would like her to stop chewing on things and barking insanely. I was 200 pages into this book before he offered ANY suggestions as to what to actually DO with a dog. And at that point I was screaming at the book "okay, I get it, be a pack leader, let your dog know you're the leader, don't let the dog be a leader: but HOW, HOW, HOW?"
The answer is...wait for it...walk your dog. Seriously. Walk them for an hour and a half minimum every day.
In fairness, that was run-of-the mill dogs. If you have a dog with serious problems send them to a professional for hundreds of dollars so they can walk them.
Maybe what he teaches on TV just can't be translated into a book. Or maybe I just need to walk my dog and see if he was right. We shall see."
"En cours de lecture : Je ne connais pas du tout Cesar, je n'ai jamais regardé ses émissions à la tv. J'ai pris ce livre un peu au hasard à la bibliothèque. Pour l'instant c'est pas super car le concept de meute chez les chiens je n'y crois pas trop. Les chiens ne sont pas des loups. Et ça parle juste de la meute pour l'instant... Et sérieusement, qui a le temps de faire faire de l'exercice à son chien 6-7 heures par jour??? *** Faire marcher son chien sur un tapis roulant! Ce qu'il ne faut pas entendre. Désolée, mais si vous n'avez pas le temps de faire faire de l'exercice à votre chien et que vous êtes rendu à l'attacher sur un tapis roulant pour lui faire faire son exercice... Je pense que vous ne devriez pas avoir de chien! L'exercice ça vient avec le chien et je marche min 1h par jour avec elle. Et oui souvent j'ai d'autres choses à faire mais j'y vais quand même. Et oui même à -20C! Je suis contente tout de même qu'il parle beaucoup de l'exercice dans son livre (bien que 6-7h par jour me semble trop) parce que je suis toujours étonnée du nombre de personnes avec des chiens et qui ne font jamais de marches avec ceux-ci. Faut pas s'étonner que le trop d'énergie de ces chiens entraînent des troubles. Quand mon chien a fait beaucoup d'exercice, elle n'a plus l'énergie de me creuser des trous dans ma cour. Je mets 2/5 parce que je ne suis pas trop d'accord avec sa théorie. Un point positif, il explique bien que c'est l'éducation qui forme le chien et non sa race. Alors même si vous avez un chien d'une race puissante, bien éduqué, il fera un excellent chien."
"I know there are some people that absolutely LOVE Cesar and his methods and others that find him overly harsh. One thing that everyone agrees with, though, is that, in likely 99% of cases where dogs are behaving badly, it's somehow the owner's fault. Mr. B (who also read the books) is one who is somewhat skeptical of Millan. I have to say, though, being a newbie dog owner, I found his books/methods logical, easy to understand, simple and reassuring. He's also consistent (if, by the time you finish reading even one of his books you don't take away "Exercise. Discipline. Affection"; then you were definitely NOT paying attention!) After I finished reading these books, I certainly felt a lot more confident about working with Lucy. If you have ever watched his show "The Dog Whisperer", then the books won't be anything new to you as, the majority of the dogs he discusses in his books were featured on his show at one point or another. Of course, he does spend quite a bit more time on background and technique in the books than he can manage in a 15 minute episode. Both books are written in the "as told to" style (although his command of spoken English is very good, I doubt he can write it as well as he speaks it) with the woman who does much of the writing for his show getting credit for the books (Melissa Jo Peliter). They are easy to read and are interesting reading (if you like dogs and/or are trying to train one). Oops! Cesar is not a dog trainer, he's a dog psychologist (or so he says). The emphasis in both books is on the owner being the pack leader, being calm, being consistent, and providing the all important exercise (Cesar is very big on walks and lots of them), discipline (not to be confused with abuse) and affection (only when the dog is in a calm-submissive state). I'd definitely recommend these books, especially to someone who is new to dogs. However, I would not take them entirely as gospel because the dude obviously has a special gift with dogs that the rest of us don't. I gave both books *** stars mostly because I liked the first one about *** and the 2nd one was somewhat of a repeat of the first one with a bit more information about different breeds and their specific needs thrown in. If you will only read one, read the first one"
