Review: THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE I WANTED

I've always liked Cesar Millan's TV shows and recently got my first dog, so I was looking for a basic guidebook that could help me out with my new pet and teach me how to teach him some tricks. Although TRAIN DOGS CESAR'S WAY is not a "dog-trick book", I found the basic guidelines I can apply to teach my dog any trick I want to "the pack leader's way" (by the way, my dog didn't know any of the five basic dog tricks included in the book).I truly enjoyed this book and found it very useful. It helped me understand the  principles of dog psychology and behavior conditioning, as well as the importance of being a pack leader and, like Cesar always says in his TV shows, of maintaining a "a calm, assertive energy" at all times.I especially liked the body blocking exercise, as well as learning about the importance of understanding our dogs "from a dog's point of view", for most people make a mistake when they treat dogs like humans.I also liked learning how to apply the different training techniques he uses, as seen on TV, about his case histories, and about his life as an immigrant and his early days in the dog training business. I give it five stars.
