Cesar's Way by Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier (2006, Hardcover)

I've spoiled my lab, rat terrier, two daughters, son and even the guinea pig! Yes, I'm a push-over and that's not good. It's no wonder I'm not the one ruling the roost. I loved this book. It truly put things into perspective as far as chain of command goes. Cesar has a way of delivering practical information you can implement quickly and start regaining your position as "pack leader". Amazing thing, I've applied several of his suggestions in my parent-child relationships as well and I'm seeing some good changes! Just as in "parent first, friend second", Cesar stresses "pack-leader first, friend second". With this in mind, I incorporated more exercise into my dogs' routine and am beginning to become a more confident, calm and assertive "pack leader". Cesar's delivery is warm and friendly, which makes this book a very easy read. I suggest this book to anyone who has a dog or kids!
