I purchased this book hoping to help out my poor dogs that I have unknowingly corrupted by loving them so much and treating them like children. My bullmastiff has major issues with our neighbors cocker spaniels and I'm at my wits end. I'm only halfway through Cesar's book but I find it a fasinating read. I was afraid it might be boring but its been a book I have a hard time putting down. He helps you understand that if you have calm energy, your dog will too. The other day I had to try out what I've learned so far. When my neighbor let her dogs out and they started to charge the fence barking, Jake did the same. Instead of panicking like I normally do, I walked over grabbed his collar and made myself stay calm. He looked at me, his mohawk went down, he stopped barked and still followed their movements on the other side of the fence, but he wasnt trying to break through and eat them like he usually does. It was great I was shocked and thrilled that Cesar's way works! I'm not ready to try it on the street yet but I highly recommend Cesars book you will definitely learn something.
