5.0 out of 5 stars Train your dog like a dog, December 13, 2006

After years of little to no success using traditional "treat" based, reward-centric training, I happened to catch Cesar's show. I implemented some simple steps from several episodes - not greeting my dogs until they had calmed down (rewarding calm behavior, not feeding excitement); asking them to sit before I put down the food dish (establishing myself as more of an authority figure), and walking them in a more disciplined fashion (burning off pent-up energy) - what a difference! This man has an innate understanding of canine psychology and behavior. There is nothing violent about his methods at all - he is, in fact, rather soft-spoken, intuitive and even spiritual, though always practical, using a slightly different approach, often focusing, and voicing, the HUMAN problems behind the unwanted dog behavior. This is where his genius lies. Most of it IS about training the human; the dogs tend to get right in line when we figure things out. One thing I really enjoy about his method is that he doesn't say very much when training a dog (no shouting the dog's name incessantly, as most of us owners are guilty of) - he uses simple body language, gentle leash corrections, and tons of consistency to get results. Toss out those fattening treats and clickers, give this a try. Five paws up!

This review is from: Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan - Volume 1 (DVD)

This product is wonderful because Cesar explains and shows and speaks the language of the dog in a pack - that is the only way to be. He explains in simple terms what the needs of a dog are and I can only agree with him 100% !! If you want to know more -buy Cesar's Way - it doesn't get any better - you want to communicate with any animal - learn their langauge - everyhting else is bogus!

I completely agree with Cesar Millan, my dogs are pretty well behaved, but trying some of his techniques really made a different immediately. I completely recommend this product to anyone. And completely disagree with the first review, wherein you have to reward your dog for everything, they should listen to you because you love them and want the best for them not because you will reward them with something. You should reward them for tricks, not for well-being and obedience.
