Raising the perfect dog pdf

About the Book I purchased the book with a sense of curiosity to know something more about Dog Training and yes, to immerse myself into how this guy does most of the surprising stuff that he does on the TV.

Woof Aspects of the Book - The author does share a few tips, tricks and guidelines that help you understand that having a dog is more like having a child and how you can go about looking after the animal. He has this crazy yet amazing logic to make you realize dogs can be controlled without force but by understanding them - Quite a number of examples and stories to illustrate his point.

Growl Aspects of the Book - The biggest criticism I found was that the book is more of an emotionally laced contribution than a logical step-by-step manual.

The method and manner in which the author talks about a dog is as if everyone should have their entire life revolving around the animal — which may be possible for him but not everyone else. Yes, I agree that there are a few many human beings whose entire life revolves around their pet but please not me.

At times I felt I was reading a Novel — which kind of beats the purpose of having purchased the book the first place. A good book for those who feel they need to know how to look after a dog and whom consider that their dog is a part of their family.

And an average book for those who feel a dog is a part of the family but in the end is a pet. Overall Rating 6 out of Loy Machedo loymachedo.

While parts of this book did sound like one massive advert for specific puppy breeders, as a whole I found it interesting.

Don't get me wrong. I love my four-legged kids, but when next time happens and I go and get myself another pup, I will do things differently. Cesar does have a few really good points about what to look for etc. Although I will still g There is no way for me to fairly rate this as far as accuracy goes, so this rating is based on readability and interest created and sustained.

Although I will still get a rescue dog. I will not be supporting breeders while there are dogs who need homes. I can't really test his theories on my pack, so there is no way I can fairly judge the information given here. And that test is really what will determine if a book like this is good or not. In case you were wondering, my dogs were found in a landfill, in a small box, at 12 hours old.

They have never known their mother, never learnt the rules their mom would have taught them as pups, and are also seriously anxious and high strung. Jun 14, Julie rated it it was ok. This is a perfectly mediocre puppy reference book. If any prospective puppy owner read it cover to cover, they'd run for the hills and never get a dog. I've raised a number of fine puppies in my years, and I think this book does contain good advice and insight.

That being said, however, many times throughout the book I thought the recommendations especially surrounding adopting through a reputable breeder were over the top and inauthentic. I'd recommend checking this book out at the library instead of purchasing it.

Skim it for some nuggets of info, and roll your eyes at anything that starts to make your heart palpitate. Then go find your new furry BFF. Jul 28, Daniel rated it did not like it Shelves: from-collection. Too wordy by far. Wanted some practical, solid advice. Instead got a story about how Mr Milan raised some dogs, along with a lot of other meandering self-congratulatory odds and ends.

Read Good Owners Great Dogs instead. Same approach, much more practical and without Mr Milan's gigantic ego. Dec 09, Marianne rated it liked it Shelves: Basic info to finding your puppy, tips, and anecdotes. I found it was helpful in some respects but every dog and every human is different. I think the part that must be stressed here and also is touched upon in the book is to seek professional trainers.

I'm a big fan of Cesar Milan. I like his story of coming to America to follow his dream in his last book. I've learned the benefits of spaying and neutering and will still diligent about offering Exercise, Discipline, then affection because the first week my puppy came home I gave all the affection first because puppies are magical.

I definitely paid dearly for that and corrected the second week. Aug 11, Jeanne Leaman rated it really liked it.

May 25, The Sapphic Nerd rated it liked it. If you've watched Dog Whisperer before, there won't be much that's new. The main point is using calm-assertive energy to affect your dog's mental state, and by extension, its behaviour. Do this consistently and things should work out and you'll end up with a balanced dog. There are long examples, but I was hoping for more specifics on various types of problem behaviour prevention.

Overall, it's good, but not impressive. Oct 19, Lindsey rated it it was amazing. I have a 3 year old chihuahua and a 9 week old mini schnauzer and I started using his techniques slowly as I was reading the book.

His leash techniques have already made a huge difference in our walks with our chihuahua! Within 2 days she was needing very little correction to stay by our side and not pull. And our puppy is already showing improvement in nipping and using the leash around the yard and house.

Now to just get him house trained! Jul 05, Liisa rated it it was ok. Disclaimer: I skimmed through most of this book. The title is deceptive, as other posters have noted.

The book concerns Cesar Millan's quest to raise several perfect puppies, which he hand-picks from various breeds and breeders, selecting only what he considers the "perfect" puppy of the litter. There is little practical information that can be applied to anybody raising any type of dog. Jan 20, Robert Cox rated it it was ok. Less a manual, more of a soap box, laced together with an unnecessarily long anecdotal stories about three puppies being trained.

Watch like three episodes of Dog Whisperer and buy yourself a real training book. This is mostly common knowledge, puppy raising book. There are a few insights to how a puppy or a dog thinks but no real tips here to help you if your get stuck along the way.

If you've watched the TV show you know what to expect from this book. Feb 10, Anjj rated it it was amazing. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
