Sinossi
Cesar Millan, "l'uomo che parla ai cani", è ormai una star della tv. Dopo vent'anni di lavoro con cani abbandonati, aggressivi, disadattati presso il suo Dog Psychology Center di Los Angeles, Cesar ha elaborato una "ricetta" in tre passi semplice ed efficace: esercizio, disciplina, affetto, in quest'ordine! Non servono tecniche d'addestramento specifiche: è sufficiente imparare a esercitare quella che Cesar chiama "energia calmo-assertiva", ossia l'atteggiamento che in natura il capobranco assume con gli altri membri del gruppo. In base a questo approccio diventa possibile rispondere alle domande che assillano molti padroni. Perché il mio cane soffre di fobie inspiegabili? Perché aggredisce gli altri cani o le persone senza alcun motivo apparente? Perché è agitato, ansioso, o semplicemente troppo vivace? Ma la domanda più importante a cui Cesar cerca di rispondere e su cui ci invita a riflettere non riguarda i nostri amici a quattro zampe, ma soprattutto noi: come possiamo vivere in armonia con i nostri cani e offrire loro tutto quello di cui hanno bisogno? Possiamo diventare dei buoni capibranco, dando stabilità ed equilibrio ai nostri compagni di vita? Secondo Cesar non esistono tecniche o approcci risolutivi: la chiave sta nella nostra energia, il modo in cui uomo e animale comunicano e si sostengono da millenni. Solo così impareremo anche ad avere rapporti sani ed equilibrati con i nostri simili, in altre parole, a essere buoni capibranco anche nella vita.

Recensioni
I need to start with a bit of a disclaimer about this one. I read this book as a sort of "know thine enemies" thing. I have seen enough of Cesar's show and read enough about his techniques to know I don't agree with him and I find his ideas about dogs sometimes old and out of date, sometimes simply
Cesar's way is not about dog training. It's about a way of living. I can see how it might not be for everyone, but it's certainly for me. He has taught me that living with and domesticating other species should involve honoring who those beings are. Having a dog isn't just about fulfilling our needs Leggi tutto
Ok so I got this book because much to my chagrin I am not the hot shit dog owner I thought I was and my sweet puppy is becoming a sweet pain in the ass. Unfortunately this was not as helpful as I had hoped it would be. This is EverlyBrothers he is my 1 year old Saint. He is an angel...for me, he s
thought this guy was some full o' shit asshole pop culture phenomenon until i saw him at runyon canyon with about 30 dogs running behind him. cesar turns around and his pack stops dead in their tracks and sits. he points to a random few of them: "you! you! you! you!" and said guys & gals zig-zag out Leggi tutto
I liked watching Cesar Millan on his show, treating problem dogs; and I liked reading his book also. Didn't know he was an illegal immigrant who had to sleep on the streets for a while. If you are only interested in the information about treating your dog, it can fit into a sticky note page. However Leggi tutto
I really need to stop reading the negative reviews on books I enjoy, because they just make me angry. I'm not a dog trainer, but my boyfriend and I recently (and unexpectedly) became dog owners. I haven't had a dog since I was a kid, and I wasn't the one responsible for them. We now have a beautiful, Leggi tutto
Meh. This book is fine, but it's really just Cesar repeating the same things over and over. Be the pack leader! Take your dog on more walks! Dogs experience the world with their noses! Take your dog on more walks! Did I mention how cool my life is? Take your dog on more walks! Etc. I mean, I don't k Leggi tutto
