Product Description
Bestselling author Cesar Millan takes his principles of dog psychology a step further, showing you how to develop the calm-assertive energy of a successful pack leader and use it to improve your dog’s life–and your own.
Filled with practical tips and techniques as well as real-life success stories from his clients (including the Grogan family, owners of Marley from Marley & Me) and his popular television show Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, Cesar helps you understand and read your dog’s energy as well as your own so that you can move beyond just correcting behavioral issues and take your connection with your dog to the next level.
The principles of calm-assertive energy will help you become a better pack leader in every area of your life, improving your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers.
In addition, Cesar addresses several important issues for the first time, including what you need to know about the major dog behavior tools available and the difference between “personality” and “instability.”
Ultimately, what emerges from Be the Pack Leader are both happier dogs and happier, more centered owners.

 The BEST dog behaviorist in the world! April 28, 2008

This man is just amazing... I watch every episode and am always just so pleased. His books are terrific - I recommend the books and the show to everyone.
Occasionally, I see something on the Internet about how he is "cruel" or some other such rubbish. Hardly! It's cruel to persist in keeping a dog from being what he was made to be... a DOG. Cesar shows you how to help your dog become a balanced, good, canine citizen. He's brilliant and his techniques work.
I highly recommend this book. It's well written, well organized, and very enjoyable.
Cesar Millan..........ANSWER MAN!! April 23, 2008

Many books have been recommended on dog training, but Cesar's is by far #1 on our list. His approach in helping us understand the canine view of life makes so much sense. Even after a few pages the reader can start implementing his ideas and THEY WORK!!! He talks to us in a language that we can understand and apply. He addresses how to communicate with your dog, not teach him how to do tricks. His advice works!! The "tricks" come so much easier when you can properly communicate. He addresses consistency in living with your dog. It sounds so simple and makes so much sense that one might wonder if that is important. IT IS!!! Thank you Cesar. The canine/human world is better for having you in it and sharing your wise advice. You are truly the Dog Whisperer.
My German Shepherd Dogs thank you too. They really appreciated it when they could finally understand us a little more!! ;-) They are most grateful that we have finally addressed the necessity of "consistency". We are all much happier as a result.

Watched Cesar on TV, enjoyed his program. The book is good, but a lot of repeating of his shows.

I had never even heard of this guy before I got this book. So i wan't expecting much at first, I just wanted to find a good dog training book and the ratings were high. When i first started reading the book I was a little skeptical and the mother hold on the neck took a while to get used to. But I kept with the book and finished it in 2 days. It really helped me understand how dogs see things and gave me a different prespective on being dominat towards a dog. You don't have to be mean to be dominant or be the pack leader. This was a great read and now im actually interested in seeing the dog whiperer.
 Just a repeat of the first book April 8, 2008

I enjoyed the fist Cesar book "Cesar's Way" and was looking forward to this book being more practical instruction, which he says it is in the beginning. Well it is a repeat of the first book with new stories of how other people have amazing dogs now. He doesn't explain how to be calm assertive, or what that looks like. He just tells you to "be calm assertive". I was looking for more practical application. And when to use it. I like his ideas but I need to know how to apply them to my life. So I recommend the first book for some eye opening philosophy. But you can skip this one.
