How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond by Cesar Millan

(Audio)
I started this book knowing I'd take it with a grain of salt based off other reviews. There wasn't anything particularly controversial in this book. This is a good book to read when you're contemplating adopting a new puppy. It gives you some good food for thought. I wouldn't take it as some sort of puppy bible, by any means.
The bottom line of this book is that dogs, in general, and specifically our new baby, communicate in much different ways than humans do. This is a big mistake, or perhaps better put, common misunderstanding for people when they're trying to train their dog. Cesar gives some tips that have worked well for him on how to communicate with pups in a way that's more similar to dog communication. By setting up good communication between dog and human when they're little, it will improve your relationship with them throughout their life.
