Very similar to his first book, but I'm an avid Cesar fan, so I enjoyed it.

I think Cesar Milan is a beautiful person, and I have learned so much through watching his show. Frankly, my first choice would be watching the show (The Dog Whisperer), but the book is good too so if you don't have cable, read the book. Using his methods has transformed the behavior of the dog in my house (my housemate's dog) my relationship with dogs in general and more importantly my awareness of the energy I am projecting at all times. Because, as Cesar Milan shows, our dogs mirror us. I wish that every dog owner would watch the show...and non dog owners as well.

Some of the same principles that are covered in his first book are covered in this one. Probably the most useful thing is that he goes a little more in depth into psychology and a little more in depth in to some of his techniques. He also gives a lot of personal examples of times he dealt with clients which is something I'm a fan of because it shows how the techniques can be applied.

I found this by accident and wound up reading the whole thing in a couple of days, as did my good lady. We both agree that the philosophy makes a lot of sense and we are going to apply it with our 14-month-old Bassett hound (Clover) and the Akita pup that's waiting for us. It was quite eye-opening to discover how wrong we were going about things with Clover. She has always been difficult to walk, partly because of her wanting to sniff everything. Now I have an idea how to fix that.
I've learned that the first thing to do is to try and get rid of my own negative energy. I know a bit about that from my 12 step programme, but I think Cesar's way will help me to put it into practice in all my affairs. It all makes so much sense.
As I was reading the book, I was thinking that yes, its all very good, but I'll get home from holidays and the dog will still be on the sofa. The one thing this book is not is an instruction manual. As I'm reading another of his books [How to Raise the Perfect Dog: through Puppyhood and Beyond], I'm learning more and more that it's about energy and animals. If I can get myself balanced and keep in mind that dogs are animals, should be at the right place to start.
So, from first day back from holidays, I'm setting the alarm for an hour earlier for walking the dogs. It should be a good time for me to centre myself too.
