Publisher's 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.

Motivating and informative.

Very useful practical content. I learnt alot about dogs I didn't know. It is motivating to be a leader in one's own life too.

Becoming a Pack Leader!

I wasn't expecting this to be as profound as it was. If you have a dog, you NEED to listen to this. There is no sugar coating, its valuable information, and it helps you to understand what you and your doggo need to be a strong pack. I will be relistening again. Who would've thought a dog book would be one of the best self-help books I've ever read.

Wonderful

A short book, summarising key points of Cesar’s methods.

Recommended for new or soon to be dog owners; although all pack leaders will benefit.

awful, outdated information

this man is terrible and dangerous to the welfare of dogs! anyone who follows his unscientific, cruel and unqualified teachings will be causing a life time of trauma and fear in their dog. none of his books should be available! Do Not Read Or Listen!
