The Pack Concept
I am revising my earlier, below review to downgrade my rating to 1-star. Mr. Millan, a charismatic, self-styled "Dog Psychologist" who has no formal background in dog training, animal behavior or psychology, relies on dominance and fear-based techniques that are both disregarded within the larger dog-training community () and even considered detrimental by some. So, while I can thank Mr. Millan for introducing me to the concepts of training and behavioral modification, as well as hours of entertainment (NuNu The Demon Chihuahua will be permanently branded into my memories. What a riot!), further reading, discussions with vets, and work with trainers have convinced me that the core to his approach is outdated, damaging to the human-dog bond, and potentially harmful.

Written in an anecdotal, easy-to-read style, and using examples from Cesar Millan's show, A Member of the Family, guides readers through the process of incorporating dogs into their families. Cesar gives tips on how to interact with dogs, communicating pack leadership and good dog manners, and what to look for from the beginning, prior to adoption. He also provides instruction on how to begin healthy pack life with your new dog before ever entering the front door for the first time, helping to get your new family configuration off to a good start. He gives further guidance on vet care, traveling with your dog, minimizing the impact of changing family dynamics on your dog, and letting your dog go when it's time.
