Having watched the DVD, and several of his shows, I was able to apply his principles to a 'rescue' dog, an Irish Wolfhound/Bouvier cross who was an abused dog before his rescue. He was fear-aggressive, especially with men. Being such a large dog [155 lbs], this was not a safe situation.
You might assume that Cesar's 'tricks' will not work with your dog, because he makes them seem so simple. But you would be wrong. They DO work. And the 'turn-around' is amazing. Yes, you have to be consistent. But the amazing thing is how fast the dog responds to the right sort of handling, and how happy they are to let go and let you be the 'pack leader', once you take on that role.
I strongly recommend this book and the DVD to anyone with a problem dog.

Being a fan of Cesar, I expected something new and informative.
This DVD is nothing more than a bunch of selected episodes from his series. So, if you already have his episodes on DVD, don't buy this, unless you want the aggression-specific episodes on one disk.

Useful DVD for those who want to build on their knowledge of dealing with aggressive dogs

I have only watched half of this DVD and have already learned important tips and methods to dealing with our aggressive, 2-year old rescued Min-Pin. However, I do believe that some of the negative reviews may have been written by persons who have had no initial/formal training on dealing with aggressive dogs. There are obviously important owner skills that are needed for dealing with aggressive dogs that are not addressed directly in this DVD. This deficit is totally understandable considering the time-frame these shows have to fit the dog "rehabiliation" into. I feel that Cesar goes over the most crucial techniques required for dealing with aggressive dogs.
My advice for those who have aggressive dogs is this: Seek the advice of a proven professional dog trainer who specializes in aggression. Look for a trainer who aligns with the theory of the owner learning how to be alpha dog. After initializing a rehabilitation program, watch this video for additional pointers as well as a source of hope that one day your dog will be rehabilitated too!
In the end I give this video 4 stars. This is because the video is not and should not be the sole source of learning how to train aggressive dogs. However, this video has some very good and useful techniques, some of which I have already implemented on my own dog with great success.
