Summary

After more than nine seasons as television’s Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan has a new mission: to use his unique insights about dog psychology to create stronger, happier relationships between humans and their canine companions.

Both inspirational and practical, A Short Guide to a Happy Dog draws on thousands of training encounters around the world to present 98 essential lessons. Taken together, they will help owners apply the key aspects of Cesar’s celebrated philosophy to create the most fulfilling life possible with their dogs.

In these pages, Cesar delves into crucial themes that go beyond obedience-school basics to reveal the hearts and minds of our beloved pets. In short, practical takes, he explores the basics of dog psychology, instinctual behaviors, creating balance and boundaries, managing common misbehaviors, choosing the right dog for your family, and helping your dog adjust to life transitions.

Throughout the book, inspiring stories from Cesar’s case files—and from his new show, Leader of the Pack—provide moving real-world applications and surprising life lessons.

Smart, easy to use, and packed with Cesar’s remarkable insights into human and canine behavior, A Short Guide to a Happy Dog is an inspiring tool for anyone looking to live a better life with a beloved member of the family.

Cesar Millan, star of the TV series Dog Whisperer, is the most sought-after dog behaviorist in the world. A New York Times best-selling author, he is the founder of the Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles and of a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping shelters and rescue groups.

Cesar is self trained, not science based

I went through many books, dog trainers and behaviourists to help my reactive dog.
What Cesar is doing is dominating the dog into submission. Isn't better when your dog chooses to make the right choice by teaching him how to do? Of course that takes time and effort.
Science behind dog's behaviour proves his method wrong and outdated.
If you want a loving relationship with your dog than you must respect him/her and their boundaries.

Very educational and incite full

I have a rescue Staffie with several issues including dog aggression, food stealing, barking, separation anxiety and pulling on the lead.
I needed some advice on how to tackle these issues and this book provided that plus it gave me a wider understanding of what dogs need to be their best. Thank you Cesar

A g reat and informative listem

It’s Caesar, enough said! His reflections on the breakup with his wife and how it hit him, resonated with me deeply, I went through exactly the same thing and as a Dog behaviourist and rehabilitate, it left me doubting myself as pack leader. To hear Caesar recount his own tale has removed my own doubts, that alone has made a change to my whole life! Thank you Caesar Milan, you never cease to inspire me.
