Book Reviews of Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life
Book Review: Understanding Pack Leader Dynamics~ the next level for dogs and humans!
Summary: 5 Stars
Chapter 7 in this book, relates the story of how just the first few lessons were enough to help me rescue a "red-zone dog" trapped in a traffic signal maintenance yard that terrified about 75 men to the point that they had called animal control to come put the dog down.
Risk management, safety and environmental health, have all been my career for 30 years. I knew there was nothing to risk by trying this new fellow's approach to problem dogs, (except being exposed to the 105-degree Arizona heat mid afternoon). I had tried Cesar's way ~sorta, off and on without much success - on my old dogs that I had humanized for 10 years, the way I had been raised to be with my dogs since childhood. With this rescue, if I didn't succeed, it wasn't a matter of him barking too long or getting my food, it would cost him his life.
Cesar's way turned him in days to one of the best dogs I ever had in my life. I had turned to a yahoo email list for help. When the owner needed to leave, I volunteered to take it over. This began the best adventure, in my life of wonderful adventures of opening doors to have thousands - yes thousands of people helped and helping each other to walk Cesar's way (Over 65,000 messages in just two years - open archives for anyone to review, current membership at 2300 with over 1000 more who came in, solved their problems and left) . People who had exhausted local sources for help or support began reaching out to each other through that email list.
The original book "Cesar's Way", talks about the mechanics and philosophy of how Cesar's way can successfully used people under a complete variety of environments and life challenges.
This new book, "Be the Pack Leader - shows the underlying foundation of the WHY that Cesar's way can work from the first moments on. It is the difference between simply driving a car or understanding how a car works so weel that you can "fix" just about any challenge or problem, and KNOW how to work both it's strengths and it's weaknesses successfully.
Cesar's way works
~Because dogs do NOT lie.
~Because they show us the truth of what is going on under the masks that humans put on for other humans so much from childhood, that we forget the mask is there and even deceive ourselves with pretending we are not hurt, angry, sad...or weak. When we learn to reconect with the truth of ourselves and trust our instincts and intuitions, we are less likely to suffer from other human's manipulation, power plays or preditor agression against us.
Through this book's principles, we can learn how to learn from what our dog show us that we are really doing in our relationships, and then apply that understanding when we engage with others.
All relationships are about power - our family, friends, co-workers, clients. We will either learn to work WITH power, or we will be at the effect of power throughout our lives! "Be the Pack Leader", to can be find the holes, gaps and Achilles heels in our dog/human relationships. Those lessons can then be used to change our human/human relationships to be more fulfilling.
With self-knowledge comes power. Chapter 8 talks about "Our Four-legged Healers. Many hearts and souls are finding healing because of the work Cesar is doing.
Thousands of dogs are being saved that otherwise would be abandoned or euthanized as being hopeless. How can anyone turn their back on this kind of information and say that it is bad?
If anyone wants to hear what happened as "the rest of the story", to Chapter 7 and the quantum leap it provided for me, find the yahoo Dog Whisperer Fan email list (third largest in obedience and training section) and check the archives under my yahoo name, siegeanderson, or yahoo me and I will tell you which post it is!
I have also creating a video review of the successes to be found in Cesar's way Pack Leader methods, that I have experienced in my life so far which should be available to review here as well.
