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

This is a wonderful reference book and makes for good reading. Cesar is not really teaching you HIS way -- in this fascinating and entertaining book, he is teaching you NATURE's way.
Cesar was born in Culiacan, Mexico, and came here in 1990. He is now applying for U.S. citizenship. He has quite a story to tell about his childhood and his special relationship with dogs from the time he was a small boy. When he came here he noticed with dismay that American dogs had a number of "issues" related primarily to the fact that we Americans view our dogs as "four-legged humans" instead of dogs (animals). Our dogs need us to be calm-assertive pack leaders and to provide them with exercise, discipline and affection in that order. Cesar gives many illustrations of how this concept works and the fact that dogs use smell and the sixth sense of energy to evaluate other dogs and animals, including humans.
I would recomend this book to any and all dog owners!!!
