A good read, but probably only 8 woofs out of 10... ;o) - By: Suzy Campbell, 05 Jan 2009 
I thought this book would be good based on word of mouth. I have seen some of Cesar's shows & some of the things he said & did, seemed to make good doggy sense! Having said that the book wasn't necessarily quite as all embracing as I'd hoped. Though it was very good. It's also clearly a book for the US market, which is great but being a Brit I do enjoy books that don't feel quite so US focussed. Good book all the same but personally I felt I got the best out of my doggy reading by combining reading this with reading another doggy book (How to Handle Living with Your Dog) written by a Brit ( Winkie Spiers ) & which covered the whole of my experience with my adorable dogin a fun no nonsense (as it promised) fashion. If you're interestedin my humble opinion then I'd say Cesar's bookin combo with this book covers alot (if not all) your bases! (How to Handle Living With Your Dog: No Nonsense Advice on Puppies, Dogs, Pedigrees, Rescue Dogs, Heinz 57s & Their Puppy Classes, Dog Training, Canine ... & Diet & Exercise! (How to Handles) by Winkie Spiers).
Cesar's Way - By: J. Robbins, 03 Jan 2009 
This is an excellent instruction book because it lets you learn how to tapin to a dog mind, be prapered to change the way you interact with the dog, my dog was not bad, but because he was a rescued had some big problem,he had pofecional training but I realised his training was incomplet because I was not getting to the dogs natural mind,I have put the methodin practise & it WORKS, he gets only half hour walkin the morning(Cesars Way)and 20 minutesin the evening on long leash. My dog is a Staff,and a strong one at that.
Hope this will benefite your dog & you.

Cesar's Way is the Magic Way! - By: Colleen Messina, 18 Nov 2008 "Cesar's Way" is truly a bible for us who love & have dogs. Growing up, my family always had two dogs. We always gave affection first, then discipline, & then exercise. No wonder we always had unbalanced pets who ran the household - it was opposite of what Cesar Milan teaches. Cesar suggests a simple formulain order to have a balanced dog. Exercise, discipline, & affection...in that order! Who knew?!
Cesar writes that dogs livein the moment & that they communicate using energy, constantly. We can learn a lot from our dogs. If we are lostin thought & neuroticin our behavior, our dogs will mirror our energy. When we arein the moment with our animals, our dogs have new possibilities with their behaviors, living a balanced life.
To livein harmony with my family's pet & other animals, I have to find harmony within myself. As Cesar Milan is the "Dog Whisperer", I see author's Ariel & Shya Kane as "The People Whisperers". I highly suggest reading their award winning books, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life, How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life & Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. The less I work on myself, the more presently I live my life. It's great for my relationships with people & dogs!
interesting but nothing new - By: HP, 06 Sep 2008 
As said before if you watch his show most of what isin the book will be nothing new, if you are looking for advice on specific problems & how to cure them this is not for you.
It really just goes over Cesar's attitude towards dealing with your dog rather than any specifics.
It is nicely written & I did enjoy reading it & it did give me a push to be more confident around my dogs to help influence them which I do feel helps, although I'm not into alpha rolls or choke chains.
If you are looking for the miracle cures you see him do on TV, look somewhere else, like a trainer/behaviourist, but if you already have a dog & don't feel totally incontrol this may give you a bit of a lift to be more confidentin their handling.
Not what I thought - By: M. Sanchez, 29 Aug 2008 This book is well written for the most part & almost appears to be an autobiographyin places which is a plus for Milan fans.
However...
Having tried the techniques on my own dog I realised that they are not for everyone & should not be touted as such.
I also found the book to be more than enlightening on what these techniques ACTUALLY involve, which you dont get to see on the TV.
Unfortunately (and as an ex-fan I mean this whole-heartedly) it did not meet my expectations as a book for training advice, although it is still a good buy if you are looking for life advice or to know more about Cesar himself.
