Product Description
Many of us think of our dogs not as pets but as full-fledged members of our families. If you own a dog—or are thinking about getting one—A Member of the Family is the ultimate resource for integrating your canine companion into the life of your household.
What should you do if you need to leave your dog alone at home while everyone is at work? Are you providing him with the exercise he needs? How can you make sure your children and dog get along well? How do events in the human family—such as birth, marriage, or divorce—affect the family dog? All of these questions and many more are answered by bestselling author Cesar Millan in his new book.
Brimming with practical tips and techniques, A Member of the Family addresses the most common issues and questions that emerge over the course of a person’s lifetime relationship with a dog, explaining what it takes to be a good dog owner. From choosing the right dog for your particular family’s needs to setting the rules of the house (yes, you and your family are in charge) to finding a quality veterinarian and monitoring your dog’s health, Cesar offers essential advice for a harmonious home. No topic is left untouched. With success stories from Cesar’s fans and clients throughout, A Member of the Family includes sections on travel and doggie day care, the needs of an aging dog, and dealing with the death of a pet and its long-lasting effects on a family. A chapter on dogs and children is written from the perspective of Cesar’s sons, Andre and Calvin, and one on the role of the strong female pack leader is by Cesar’s wife, Ilusion.
In his frank, simple, and calm manner, Cesar acts as your personal guide as you build a fulfilling, satisfying relationship with your dog.
From the Hardcover edition.

Once again Cesar Millan has produced another brilliant book that helps to add some more pieces to the dog psychology puzzle. This book provides valuable guidance in areas like how to pick a new dog that is right for you and how to introduce that dog to his/her new home. As usual Cesar makes the dog 'training' experience one that is natural and harmonious for both dog and owner. This book explores the relationship between dog and owner from the cradle to the grave. I highly recommend Cesar's new book to anyone thinking of getting a new dog whether a rescue or from a breeder. This book is packed with excellent advice and tips from start to finish. Read the book, apply the wisdom and enjoy true doggy/human harmony and happiness.

Excellent book for ALL dog owners. Whether you've owned dogs for years or thinking about owning a dog this book is a must. I've studied to advanced level behavioural studies which helps with dog training, but this book teaches dog psychology which is more important than dog training. The book is easy to read and covers every aspect of how to be a great owner and have a really happy dog.
This book is a great idea too for people who are nervous around dogs, or had a bad experience. It can help you to build confidence in your behaviour around dogs.
I have read several great books about dog behaviour including Jan Fennel who is a great 'dog listener'. Her books have helped me as an owner. I think that this book is the best though as the detail in every aspect of being a dog owner is in the book. My rescue dog has really benefited from me reading Ceasars tips and implementing them. He is a changed collie dog who is extremely relaxed now. I am a really confident great owner now.
Highly recommend, a must read for all professional dog owners too. Ceasars understanding of the dog and human relationship is spot on. Its a DOG OWNER/CARERS BIBLE!

Cesar is as always at his best getting the message of pack leadership across. A must for parents whose children keep asking for a dog. Wish I could stay as calm and assertive as Cesar.......

Interesting read
A good book for guidance but cesar's way was a far better book to learn the rights and wrongs. I am a great fan of Cesar Milan, And his way works.
