Become the Pack Leader

One day while scrolling through our TV channels, we discovered Cesar Millan on National Georgraphic Channel. Cesar, better known as the "Dog Whisperer", is a dog trainer and dog lover whose strategy is to work with nature rather than fight against it.

Dogs are pack animals, as we all know, and Cesar's philosophy is that the owner must behave at all times as the pack leader and maintain a gentle, assertive manner when working with the dog. Cesar Millan offers videos, CD's and books at his website, entertaining to watch and delivered in a clear and easy to understand format. He successfully demonstrates the effectiveness of his dog training philosophy: a happy, well-behaved dog needs exercise, discipline and affection--in that order.

If you need your pet to mind a little bit better--and who doesn't--or know someone who could use some dog-training help, these videos and books should be on your shopping list.
