 Written on August 10, 2008 Summary: Cesar is the man!! I can't thank Cesar enough for teaching me about my dog and how to communicate with him in a way that is so simple! Thank you Cesar - You're the man!!  Written on July 31, 2008 Summary: big disappointment I had really been looking forward to reading this book. When I read it I was very disappointed. Cesar Milan doesn't offer anything new, he reiterates the whole energy thing yet doesn't provide step by step instructions on dealing with difficult behaviors like aggression, leash pulling, nipping etc. There's also too much filler, for example stories and testimonials from his show and an entire chapter devoted to breed types. That info can be found over the internet for free. I've found better information on the web and it didn't cost me twenty five bucks. The book is just too abstract and doesn't offer any remedies. I'd advise anyone who wants to read this book to wait until they have it at their local library, don't spend good money on it.  Written on July 29, 2008 Summary: Cesar's Way and The Other Way Cesar's method of training is called Dominance Training. It is based on flawed wolf research from the 1940's. There where three majors flaws and they were: A) Very little time was spent observing wolves and what was watched was mostly hunting B) The researchers misinterpreted rituals such as alpha rolling. They thought that the dominate wolf would physically roll the other in reality a lower wolf would offer his muzzle and when the alpha mouthed it the subordinate would willingly roll. C) The researchers made a huge leap from wolf-wolf to wolf-dog to dog-human. Wolves are not dogs and dogs should not be treated as a wolf. Treating a dog like a wolf is akin to treating a child like a Chimp. Sure they are similar but there are enough differences that it is not a good idea to treat them the same. I have three dogs. One was trained using only positive training and two that started out being trained with dominance training then were switched to positive. The one that was comply positively trained is possibly the best worker I have ever seen who will do anything he is asked. One of my other dogs' dog aggression was cured via the positive training method after years of dominance training tactics. I would recommenced that people read Patricia McConnell's book "The Other End Of The Leash" and try out the suggested techniques in that instead of using out date ideas in Cesar's books. Written on July 22, 2008 Summary: Cesar Milan - the man who set dog training back 20 years There is nothing new in Milan's training methods. He has just rehashed the outdated stuff of the '80s and earlier. Truly modern dog training seeks to form a relationship between dog and human, one based on mutual respect. Yes, one can get results with his methods, but response based on fear is shallow and fleeting at best. That is, unless one keeps the poor dog terrorized. He appeals to people because of his emphasis on human dominance over dogs. There are dozens--make that hundreds--of trainers with more worthwhile advice to offer. I suggest that the person who wants a friend and companion instead of a cringing syncophant listen to them. Written on July 18, 2008 Summary: again the perfect gift for any cesar fan again cesar proves that it is not the dogs that have the problems it is the humans that cause them through our lack of information and experience and also our actions of assuming we can treat a dog like a human and it still behave like a dog and picking the wrong breed of dog for our own lifestyle. excellent read a must buy |
