Must read for understanding dogs

Plenty of good information is contained in this Audible guide. Most of us are familiar with the dog whisperer and he does share with the reader some sound advice. Free from Audible I took advantage of this work and having read it think that every dog owner or those considering adopting a dog should read this. Highly educational and well written.

Perfect quick guide

Step by step routines and schedules for you and your dog. Great advice on how to integrate a shelter dog into your home whether you already have a pack or not.

Helpful insights on shelter dogs

I learned a lot of things I will apply to the training of and relationship with my new dog. I only wish that Cesar read the book himself.

Good insights about shelter dogs.

Brief enough to review in 1 or 2 listens which is good if you are bringing home a new dog from the shelter. It’s a great reminder of the most important things to remember. It’s been a while since we brought a new dog home, but we have just done so after the loss of a 12 yo black lab mix that we loved very much.

Interesting good information

Dogs are an amazing gift from God. Caesar explains and describes dogs behavior and backs with logical theories and conclusions that you can totally mirror with humans families relationships.

Great information!

I already knew some of those information but it is always good to hear and there are definitely some new things I learned to that I did not consider before. All in all great listen.

great advice

I've been debating adoption of a shelter dog. This little book has helped to set me in a good direction.

Good stuff

First Few Days--Cesar Millan Style

Cesar Millan's Guide to Bringing Home a Shelter Dog covers the first few days of setting up your relationship with a dog, particularly one brought from a shelter who might have known inconsistency, maybe abuse, you never know.
It's a good guide, but keep in mind it goes by Millan's theory of doing all that you can do to be the alpha dog in the relationship. It promotes the 50-25-25 ratio that he goes by: 50% exercise, 25% discipline, and 25% affection, in that order. It's not about coddling, and always about remembering that your dog is a dog and doesn't care if it's wearing leather or rhinestones. And it's about keeping up the discipline bonding approach with obedience school training for both you and your dog/pup.
If you're looking for a more affection/bond-based approach to living with your new companion, I suggest looking into Jennifer Arnold's works that you can find here on Audible.
And no matter what... remember shelter dogs when you're looking for that special buddy to share your life with!
