Average Rating:
 Rating:  - good for teaching commands but leave the eastern philosophy out of itI agree wholeheartedly with the author's approach of non-violent training but the whole communicating with your dog using 'direct knowledge' is an Eastern load of whooey. If you start on p 106 with the definitions of classical conditioning, counter-conditioning and operant conditioning and go to the end of the book. You've got a really good book on training your dog. I found the first 105 pages very difficult to stomach as he refers to various 'studies' to prove his points but never gives a citation ... Read More Rating:  - Worth ReadingThis is not Cesar Millan from National Geographic - who is a great dog behavior adviser - but not really a "dog whisperer" per se. This guy is a dog whisperer and this was, out of all the books I read when I had my problem (aggressive) dog, the kookiest dog book, in my opinion. That is not to say that is wasn't useful, it was. It was just sort of strange. He doesn't even say "no!" to a dog, and recommends visualization and a sort of meditation before training your dog. I think he is a little too accommodating ... Read More Rating:  - Great book. Better than Millan.I read Paul Owens book recently on recommendation. He was the original dog whiperer I've been told as this book was published in 1999. Cesar grabbed the title. Owens book is compassionate and very dog friendly. No bullying. Just read another good book too by Alana Stevenson on humane dog training. If I would have been up with positive methods years ago my dogs would have been happier. Read Cesar's book. It was pretty bad. Made me feel at war with my dogs. A lot of bullying. Rating:  - Not THE Dog Whisperer,Cesar Millan!I quickly ordered this book assuming it was written by Cesar Millan. Pretty shameless for this author to use the title "The Dog Whisperer" and using a similar dustjacket to promote sales by associating himself with the well-known Cesar Millan. Alas, my mistake for ordering in a rush - like a fly caught in a Venus Fly Trap. I returned the book at my expense. Rating: - Interesting book and helpful, but...he goes too far in critizing other methods. He seems like a super nice guy. I would trust my dog with him, and would probably enjoy getting to know him and see him use his training methods. I've used a lot of his suggestions with my shepherd/rottweiler before reading his book, and saw great improvement in him over the years since getting him at 3 years old. However, having watched the other dog whisperer's show, which is like free college for dog owners, and applied his techniques, my husband ... Read More
