Bestselling author Cesar Millan takes his principles of dog psychology a step further, showing you how to develop the calm-assertive energy of a successful pack leader and use it to improve your dog’s life–and your own.
Filled with practical tips and techniques as well as real-life success stories from his clients (including the Grogan family, owners of Marley from Marley & Me) and his popular television show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, Cesar helps you understand and read your dog’s energy as well as your own so that you can move beyond just correcting behavioral issues and take your connection with your dog to the next level.
The principles of calm-assertive energy will help you become a better pack leader in every area of your life, improving your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers.
In addition, Cesar addresses several important issues for the first time, including what you need to know about the major dog behavior tools available and the difference between “personality” and “instability.”
Ultimately, what emerges from Be the Pack Leader are both happier dogs and happier, more centered owners.
From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Did not like this method
Comment: It is just my personal taste, but I consider this not a nice way to train your dog. There are other methods out there that use different methods.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Necessary For All Dog Owners
Comment: After reading Cesar's first book and becoming familiar with his training and teaching methods, I struggled with translating those techniques to suit what my dog needed and what I wanted. This book made it all come together and more.
I highly recommend this book and suggest reading Cesar's first book in addition.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book.
Comment: Enjoyed the book and found it helpful, but not magical when actually implementing the suggestions. If I could get my Great Dane to read it all my problems would be solved! Liked the suggestions on using the dog training tips in dealing with others in our daily lives.
Customer Rating:
Summary: More Wisdom from the Dog Whisperer
Comment: If you are a regular viewer of National Geographic's The Dog Whisperer, Be the Pack Leader will not contain any "new" information for you. Having said this, this book is still a must read for the dog lover as Cesar Millan goes in depth (something he cannot do on the show) on how to be the pack leader in your home.
The concept of "pack leader" is a complex one; one that is antithecal to our modern way of thinking. Yet it is through this relationship with our dog that we are able to communicate and nurture our beloved companions.
You will not only learn much about your dog, you will learn much about yourself after reading this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for my type of dog
Comment: I was interested in learning about Cesar's life. I think his advice is good for large agressive dogs but not so much for dog training for small dogs.
