Publisher's summary

Best-selling 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.

An Audible for Dogs Pick: Make your dog's day. Cesar Millan shares how audiobooks can make dogs happier and calmer. Learn more.

Understand the once Misunderstood..

Thank Goodness for Cesar's CLEAR, SIMPLE and AFFECTIVE leading..

After reading (listening) to this Audio Book, I now have a better understanding of the ever so misunderstood subject of Dog-to-Human relationships. Mr. Millan truly has been gifted with an understanding of what is going on "inside a dog's head". Every dog owner should pick up this selection. It will open up doors to a BETTER, HEALTHIER and more PEACEFUL relationship between You and Your BEST FRIEND!!

A MUST read for all Cesar Millan Fans and dog owner..

Not what I expected

Perhaps I should have read the intro more closely … I like Caesar a lot, but this book wasn't really worth my time.

Muy buen libro

Excelentes ideas y prácticas. Ha sido muy útil para trabajar con perros dominantes y gigantes como aquellos con los que convivo: Mastín Francés y Rhodesian. Como dice el libro: démosle al próximo Presidente un Mastín o un Rhodesian si puede controlar uno con energía calmada y asertiva, podrá con la nación.

Great Info but no Caesar

I liked this book and it was full of good information but was not as entertaining or exciting as the book Caesar read himself. I miss his English and his expression. This book is far removed from his presentation and it makes the delivery dry and less passionate. Too bad.
