I thought this video was about how the human becomes the dominant force or the pack leader. This video is more about how a pack of dogs controls and teaches a dog(s) in need of rehabilitation at his Dog Center. It also deals with humans overcoming their fear of large dogs.He spends an inordinate amount of time on a dog that is obsessed with rocks, but cuts to the end result two weeks later, without much information on how he got there. Although there are some obedience training tips, I found most of them vague. (i.e. when discussing how to socialize a dog with others when outside the home, it cuts right to the end where the dog is walking playfully and calm with the other dog. He does not say how to accomplish this at all.) It seems like it is edited quickly to the result , and Milan is patting himself on the back, a lot.

I have owned and worked with dogs most of my life, and always learn something new from Cesar Millan. The power of the pack was helpful, as took it to a friend who had several dogs and allways had issues with them. They didn't work together as a pack and this helped her to understand how it could be and should be. When you have a dog that does have issue's it good to know that they can be over come. It is also just great to watch how he works with these dogs.

Kind of a compilation of some of the cases presented during the television show. I wish it were more of a "how to" DVD. I'm currently reading both of Cesar's books, which do go more into depth. All in all - not bad!

Very good series about sharing your life with a dog and the mistakes one can make. Sometimes very funny to see - because nearly everyone knows a person in the neighbourhood having the same problems with a dog. Very helpful, interesting and fresh. Even for people whose dogs are too lazy to create problems.
Thank you, Cesar Millan for new ideas.

We returned this item. We had already ordered the complete 1st and 2nd Seasons. This DVD was full of Highlights of the 1st Season. Had we known this we would have spared Amazon the shipping costs both ways. As far as Cesar Millan is concerned, he is amazing. I would recommend this
series to anyone who dosen't want to order the complete series.

Once again, America's leading authority on dealing with dog behavior hits the mark! I believe it is his best book yet! We have a "family pack" of 15 "fairly balanced" dogs on our small farm. We use Cesar's pack leading methods as much as possible and have a very happy family of dogs, because he "trains us" well. Letting dogs be dogs gives us a wonderfully fulfilling life. If you want to enjoy your dog(s) to the utmost, this book is indispensible. We have all of Cesar's books, and our lives have changed! We are as proud of our dogs as they are of us. THANK YOU, CESAR!!!

A wealth of information, especially for super-alpha dogs who are trying to rule your roost! I had a dog like that, and Cesar provided loads of examples that helped me get my Pepper under control! A common sense approach for dog owners who REALLY care about their pet's happiness as well as the owners', it was a God-send for me AND my dog!

There were some helpful hints in this video but it was pretty much the same message that Cesar preaches in all his shows, books and tapes. Somethings can be applied to your situation but others were way off base. I am of the opinion that one size does not fit all and this is the message that Cesar spins.

THis man is the true genius of understanding the dog's makeup. Not only that, his connection with both human and dog is incredible. I'm a professional dog trainer, and I can't begin to list the things I've learned about dogs from this man. And he's very very patient and nice in person. If ever there is a person who reflects the American Dream, it's Cesar. He's the best. Man's best Friend now has, Canine's best Friend. He's done more for understanding Fido than Lassie, Rin Tin Tin and all the rest...He stands head and shoulders above the best, for he is truely the master, and has reached his personal goal of becoming the "best dog trainer in the world". He has, and is. Thank you Cesar Millan

My Mistake - I thought I was buying a book and it was a DVD. I have seen many of the Dog Whisperer Shows so this was redundant to those. I keep it as a reference for guests in our DVD library for Eden Valley Guest Ranch (our small resort). It turned out to be a good thing as many dog people that come are not familiar with Cesar and it is a great introduction for exercise, disipline and then affection. :)
