Cesar's Way : The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems

by Cesar Millan, Melissa Jo Peltier

Cesar Millan is the founder of the Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles and is the star of Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan on National Geographic Channel. In 2005, he was awarded for his work in rehabilitating sheltered animals. "I rehabilitate dogs. I train people." - Cesar Millan. Why is it that in America alone, there are at least 68 million dogs, but so many of them have problems? And their owners spends millions on them every year getting pampered. In this guide we learn about what goes on inside our dog's mind and we learn to develop a positive, fulfilling relationship with them. This book gives you a deeper appreciation of how your dog sees the world and it will help to make the relationship you have with your dog a lot more rewarding, and make the bond even stronger between you.

Cesar Millan is America's most sought after dog-behaviour expert. He's not a trainer but he has the ability to comprehend dog psychology. He takes us through the basics of dog psychology and behaviour. Millan's formula for a contented and balanced dog seems impossibly simple: exercise, discipline and affection, in that order. He shares with us how common behavior issues develop and how they can be corrected.

You will learn, to mention a few, that what your dog really needs may not be what you're giving him, why a dog's natural pack instincts are the key to your happy relationship, how to relate to your dog on his level, there are no "problem breeds", just problem owners, how to choose a dog that's just right for you and your family, the different between discipline and punishment and there is so much more.

This is the only book you will need to have for a more rewarding connection with you four-legged companion.

A Dog Year : Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me

by Jon Katz

Change sometimes comes on four legs. Jon Katz has two low-maintenance Labs named Julius and Stanley whose chosen work is to lick neighbors and to accompany him through midlife. His year begins with a new arrival at the airport, a two year old border collie named Devon. Devon escapes from his cage and goes tearing around the terminal and is captured and taken home to meet his other two dogs, Julius and Stanley, who are not quite sure of what to make of this new collie. The collie turns out to be very demanding and Katz's training of him is very slow and agonizing. Devon eventually settles in. Later on in the year, after Katz appears on the Oprah Winfrey show, he decides to take her advice and adopt yet another border collie named Homer, who is a sweet puppy that is everyone loves except for Devon. But the two seem to get on easier when he takes them to a farm where they herd sheep. Katz reflects on how important it is to be devoted and have a total understanding of any animal that one brings into their home and how to live peacefully with border collies. It's still obvious that the most important ingredient in a human/dog relationship is love.
