How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond

I bought this book purely for the content and the author but seriously such a high price and the quality of the book and the binding was bad. If i am paying a high price for it i might as well get a good quality binded book that lasts forever. I treasure books a lot and this books physical binding doesnt seem long lasting at all.

I really enjoy watching the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan's show so I out of curiosity I bought 3 of his books. This one is very good. I found there were things that I could learn and put into practice, even after having dogs for almost 45 years. I do understand what the person who wrote the review about Cesar's "zen" thing and that it is frustrating when you don't have an older dog to help with the house training. Just let me say that I am an Australian Shepherd breeder and I still have to house break a puppy even though I have the parents. The whole example thing is frustrating to me too. I find it hard to believe that a breeder can have 8 week old puppies house broke and crate trained. Although she did say she often keeps her puppies until 10 weeks. I did find a lot of great information in the book and the above things mentioned didn't bother me much. In fact my puppies new families get a puppy package from me and I have now included this book in the puppy package. I think it will be very helpful to families who have never owned a dog or have not had a puppy in a long time. So far my puppies new families have been very happy to receive the book. So many times people ask me about vaccinations, crate training, what kind of food, where puppy should sleep, and on and on. I am happy to answer their questions but it is a lot of info to absorb. So the book comes in very handy for them. My one word of warning however is that often Cesar says to consult your vet. Where that is a very good idea and I recommend it I would also caution that it is not possible for your vet to know everything. A great example is nutrition. Most Vets are not schooled in nutrition. In fact one of the worst dog foods you can buy is often sold in vet offices. It has the word "science" in it's name. Great tactic. Sell it at a vets and use the word science in your name. Anyway just remember no one loves you dog as much as you do. Over all this book was a interesting read with very useable information.

As always, Cesar delivered with this book. Logical, practical and his methods work so well if followed. I highly recommend to every dog owner!

Muy claro el contendio, hay que tener mucha disciplina para aplicar lo que dice el libro

Tengo varios libros de Cesar Millan y me gustan por lo sencillo de sus explicaciones. Soy educadora canina y recomiendo sus libros a mis clientes como buenas referencias.

Just like his TV dog show on National Geo, this book was also full of information and was very interesting. If you like Cesar and his TV show then by this book you will like it also.
