 More entertainment than training book August 31, 2010
M. V. Damiano
Good reading material. It was a lot more entertainment reading than an instruction manual. First 80 or so pages where in intro to the dogs he was raising. I was looking for a how to guide.
 Love the Book Cesar's Ideas are Great August 20, 2010
burplepatti (Indianapolis, IN, US)
I just started trying some of Cesar's ideas on our new puppy. His book is easy to read and understand. I did find out we need training first. The book is a joy to read and easy to follow.
It takes you from the begining when you are just thinking of getting a puppy or dog. He helps you and your pet be the best you can be. I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of getting a dog/puppy or anyone with a canine buddy with behavior issues.
Better to buy BEFORE you get a puppy August 19, 2010
R. Knopf (Cincinnati)
It's a decent book and worth the money. But there is a lot of text devoted to how to pick a dog, prepare it to come home, and bringing it home. Still it has some good advice on your puppy and how it develops and changes as it grows up.
Perfect Dog August 13, 2010
Sylvia Kendall
I am currently reading this book and I am very surprised and pleased at the obvious depth of Cesar's knowledge. I shall be keeping this book in my personal library and will refer to it whenever necessary - which I'm sure it will be in the future.
The book is well written, very easy to understand even if you know nothing about dogs before you read it. I have two dogs and would have done many things differently had I read this book beforehand. It would have made the whole process of puppy raising a whole lot easier.
I recommend Cesar's book to anyone contemplating obtaining a puppy, and to those who are like me and already have doggs before you decide to read about puppy raising.
good read August 10, 2010
Natasha Appel (Dallas, TX United States)
The book is a good easy read, but if you are looking for a more detailed information on what you should teach and avoid in dog training use "The Art of Raising a puppy" by New Skete Monks.
Nevertheless, this book is interesting to read.
