Bestselling author Cesar Millan takes his principles of dog psychology a step further, showing you how to develop the calm-assertive energy of a successful pack leader and use it to improve your dog’s life–and your own.
Filled with practical tips and techniques as well as real-life success stories from his clients (including the Grogan family, owners of Marley from
Marley & Me) and his popular television show
Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan, Cesar helps you understand and read your dog’s energy as well as your own so that you can move beyond just correcting behavioral issues and take your connection with your dog to the next level.
The principles of calm-assertive energy will help you become a better pack leader in every area of your life, improving your relationships with friends, family, and coworkers.
In addition, Cesar addresses several important issues for the first time, including what you need to know about the major dog behavior tools available and the difference between “personality” and “instability.”
Ultimately, what emerges from
Be the Pack Leader are both happier dogs
and happier, more centered owners.

He basically states that most every dog behavioural problem can be solved by excercise, discipline and affection, in that order. Animals are not human and we should not apply human logic in our dealings with our pets as this is what causes disfunction.
He also helps you to cultivate the calm assertive energy of the "pack leader" that dogs best recognise and respond to.
I volunteer at an animal shelter and I have tried his techniques on the dogs I walk there. I have been shocked by how quickly the dogs recognise the "pack leader" authority and respond to the correct walking technique described by Cesar.
If you get a chance, catch his show - The Dog Whisperer, so you can actually see the techniques in action.
