About this ebook
Cesar Millan—nationally recognized dog expert—helps you see the world through the eyes of your dog so you can finally eliminate problem behaviors.
From his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show to his roster of celebrity clients to his reality television series, Cesar Millan is America’s most sought-after dog-behavior expert. But Cesar is not a trainer in the traditional sense—his expertise lies in his unique ability to comprehend dog psychology. Tracing his own amazing journey from a clay-walled farm in Mexico to the celebrity palaces of Los Angeles, Cesar recounts how he learned what makes dogs tick. In Cesar’s Way, he shares this wisdom, laying the groundwork for you to have stronger, more satisfying relationships with your canine companions.
Cesar’s formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline, and affection, in that order. Taking readers through the basics of dog psychology and behavior, Cesar shares the inside details of some of his most fascinating cases, using them to illustrate how common behavior issues develop and, more important, how they can be corrected. You'll learn:
• What your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving him
• Why a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship
• How to relate to your dog on a canine level
• There are no “problem breeds,” just problem owners
• How to choose a dog who’s right for you and your family
• The difference between discipline and punishment
• And much more!
Filled with fascinating anecdotes about Cesar’s longtime clients, and including forewords by the president of the International Association of Canine Professionals and Jada Pinkett Smith, this is the only book you’ll need to forge a stronger, more rewarding connection with your four-legged companion.

While i thouroughly enjoyed reading this book when i got to the end i realized i had learned very little. It was interesting to read the stories but many things should have been described more in depth. While this book tells you in a very vague and general way there is no good hard information or instruction in my mind. Such as "you need to master the walk" but no information on what that means or how to master it or what it looks like when youve mastered it.

Cesar firsts explains his history with dogs living on his grandfather’s farm. He compares how dogs live in the wild versus how they live here in the States.
Next, he talks openly and honestly about coming to America illegally. The challenges he faced not speaking any english but being able to work at a groomer to make money.
After that he explains in great detail the psychology of the dog and why every dog needs a job.
All throughout he talks about how to be the calm assertive pack leader for your dog so it can be happy, healthy and balanced.

I read the first hundred pages before I realized this was just one long, meandering, self indulgent biography on Ceaser.... Not a dog training book.
