Book Description

Publication Date: 9 July 2009
Bestselling author, Cesar Millan, takes his principles of dog psychology a step further, showing you how to develop the calm-assertive energy of a successful pack leader and use it to improve your dog's life - and your own.

Filled with practical tips and techniques as well as success stories from his fans, clients (including the Grogan family), and his popular television show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, Cesar helps you understand and read your dog's energy as well as your own so that you can move beyond just correcting behavioural issues and take your connection with your dog to the next level.

The principles of calm-assertive energy will help you become a better pack leader in every area of your life, improving your relationships with friends, family and co-workers.

In addition, Cesar addresses several important issues for the first time, including what you need to know about the major dog behaviour tools available and the difference between 'personality' and 'instability'.

What emerges from BE THE PACK LEADER are both happier dogs and happier, more centred owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Can Be Learned 4 Nov 2007
By Eric Draven
Format:Hardcover
I have read both of Cesar's books and have really learned a lot from them. His techniques have impacted my dog's life. His 1st was a lesson in dog behavior and how to deal with their issues that usually lead to bad behavior. This new book helps both the dog and the human by establishing how to be the leader in your dog's life. He gives many examples of how to be a calm assertive leader as well as why this state of mind is so important. I REALLY recommend this book and the book "Understanding: Train of Thought" to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zen for dogs! 15 Oct 2007
By Simon "THE FOUNT" Boyd VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a professional dog balancer I would like to suggest that instead of relying on the opinions of others you make up your own mind about this book by using a methodology that was suggested by the martial arts master Bruce Lee. He said to "Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is uniquely your own".

This philopsophy allows you to obtain genuine wisdom and true understanding. As someone who works with dogs that have issues I have found that the "leader of the pack" style as used by both Cesar Millan and Jan Fennel to be the ONLY way to create a real and solid foundation for change. Once you are leader and the dog knows this you will be amazed at how many unwanted behaviours vanish!

Other methods can of course be applied and are effective but if you apply Cesar's methods with an open mind you will create a bond with your dog or dogs that will be the key that opens the door to the kind of relationship you have always wanted!

Buy this great book, use the principles, absorb what works for you, add your own unique touches and discard the rest!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Dog Training Book 29 April 2008
By Simon "THE FOUNT" Boyd VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
"Be The Pack Leader" is a very different book to Cesar's first book "Cesars Way". As a professional dog trainer I know though experience that the system which Cesar outlines in this book needs to form the base of any effective dog training program.

Like the great martial artist Bruce Lee said we need to "Research our own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is uniquely our own". Cesar's method (which is very similar to Jan Fennels) focuses on you becoming your dogs 'alpha' or 'pack leader'. In "Be The Pack Leader" he offers powerful guidance as to how to create the leadership skills you need to create a balanced and happy dog.

Once this foundation is built, then and ONLY then are other methods (clicker training, obedience work) likely to have any real effect. Bruce Lee also counselled us to have "No way as way and no limitation as limitation". Cesars methods allow us to be creative and innovative with the way we work with our canine friends.

"Be The Pack Leader" is a book which I have found very useful in my work and I recommend it VERY highly to all those who wish to work with their dogs and to create trust and respect!
