review 1: Some excellent tips and anecdotes about dog raising. Now I know that I should have started reading books like this even before I adopted my dog - there is so much that I can do as his human that will make him calmer and happier, and therefore make me less crazy! Highly reccomended to anyone dealing with dogs. I especially liked the way he interviewed so many different dog experts, from different schools of thought, and each gave their personal beliefs and methods. I like that he believes you can have different beliefs and still have a lot of respect for another person and really, at the end of the day, its all about the dog.
review 2: First time reading Cesar Millan. I only know a little about him as I haven't watched any of the Dog Whisperer shows, only saw hi... morem for a guest appearance in an episode of Bones (and I'm not even sure if it really was him or another trainer), but I liked what little I knew of him and his methods.I read the Kindle version of the book and while the formatting is good, when images are involved then the page breaks kind of doesn't work well - like a photo shows up without the caption (caption in the following page). I understand that it might be difficult to perfect formatting with images on the Kindle as a reader may increase or decrease font size and that will once again mess up all the positionings, so perhaps for this book one might be more at ease with a physical book (if you are the type to get increasingly annoyed by weird formatting).Pretty informative book. Many of the points that Cesar brings up, I already know, but then, I've never applied knowledge into daily life... like, when detailing the pros and cons of a harness type of collar, he says that a dog's natural instinct, when fitted with a harness, is to push forward... a fact that I know so well... but then when it comes to dealing with my own dog wearing a harness, I keep on wondering why the little rascal just wouldn't listen and just wants to push forward... so the book has served to be a reminder that I should think thoroughly and connect the dots. I also liked "A dog is a dog is a dog", or more like I felt really proud reading those words as I've actually uttered the exact phrase myself before reading the book.Cesar also weighs for us the different training methods (on/off lease, clicker, hand signal, voice commands, etc...) and training tools (leather collar, choke chain, gentle leader, harness, etc...)Dog lovers, pet owners, you may want to give it a go, if not for the actual training tips, then for the little anecdotes and side stories that Cesar tells :) less
