The Ultimate Dog Training BookApril 29, 2008 Simon Boyd(Newhaven UK) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
"Be The Pack Leader" is a very different book to Cesar's first book "Cesars Way". As a professional dog trainer I know though experience that the system which Cesar outlines in this book needs to form the base of any effective dog training program.
Like the great martial artist Bruce Lee said we need to "Research our own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add what is uniquely our own". Cesar's method (which is very similar to Jan Fennels) focuses on you becoming your dogs 'alpha' or 'pack leader'. In "Be The Pack Leader" he offers powerful guidance as to how to create the leadership skills you need to create a balanced and happy dog.
Once this foundation is built, then and ONLY then are other methods (clicker training, obedience work) likely to have any real effect. Bruce Lee also counselled us to have "No way as way and no limitation as limitation". Cesars methods allow us to be creative and innovative with the way we work with our canine friends.
"Be The Pack Leader" is a book which I have found very useful in my work and I recommend it VERY highly to all those who wish to work with their dogs and to create trust and respect!
This is pretty much the same as Ceasar's WayApril 23, 2008 Catrin Cantor(UK, Yorkshire) 3 out of 13 found this review helpful
I wish I hadn't bought it. Just like Ceasar's Way, it doesn't answer my questions - there are loads of identical passages in both books - just don't waste your money!
