Cesar’s Way by Cesar Millan is a good reference book to have on hand.

It explains the mind of the dog excellently. Once you understand what and how your dog is thinking and feeling, then you can use that in your training for maximum impact and success!

I would suggest people learn his methods of exercise, discipline, and affection for living with dogs. But I cannot recommend that everyone follow his methods. Some are dangerous for the average human to follow. You have to have an excellent understanding of dog body language and complete control over your thoughts and feelings at all times in order to follow through with some of the techniques.

But, Cesar Millan’s teachings on dog psychology will teach you lots on what makes your dog a dog first and foremost!

Learn what makes your dog tick with Cesar’s Way.
