Product Information

If you've got a puppy already or you're thinking about getting one in the future, there is tons of advice and guidance to help you with what is - let's be very clear - a pretty massive step in life. It would be more beneficial to read this before you actually have one and so many helpful tips to get you prepared and start off the best way. I'm happy to say I've followed a lot of the recommendations (not all, may I add) and the advice has really helped with my puppy settling in his new home. Hm, now what could you possibly do to your dog that might result in "adverse effects" (dog-speak for "getting bitten and/or creating a fearful and/or aggressive dog").

The book walks you through appropriate socializing methods and stresses the value of clear communication through spoken instructions, body language, and positive reinforcement. As my father put it shortly after Marley attempted marital relations with his knee, 'That dog's got a screw loose. Through Grogan's heartfelt, evocative writing, Marley has become the symbol of one of the most popular family pet breeds in America, the Labrador retriever. This all-inclusive book, which covers puppyhood through maturity, attempts to foster a positive, healthy connection between you and your dog, setting the groundwork for a well-mannered, self-assured, and contented family member.Developing Leadership, Not Dominance: Cesar Millan makes a distinction between leadership and dominance, and he recommends that you take the lead in your dog’s development by being a composed and confident leader. I truly feel like that type of training set my dog and I up for failure, and we are still trying to undo the damage. We mainly use Royal Mail Tracked 48 Service for goods which weight less then 2kg, all other goods will be delivered by a Courier. Cesar lays out some simple but important guidelines to how to train your dog from puppyhood onwards, and it’s nice reading about his own experiences, which are interspersed between the lessons. Co-written by acclaimed dog trainer Cesar Millan and celebrated author Melissa Jo Peltier, “ How to Raise the Perfect Dog” explores the core ideas of comprehending, appreciating, and interacting with your dog in addition to offering simple training advice.

To keep your dog’s mind engaged and prevent boredom, the book also provides inventive suggestions for mental stimulation through games, puzzles, and scent work. Unfortunately rather than being hardcover as described at time of sale, it was a paperback but it is in good condition . Since the day I brought him home, Dog Whisperer cameras and my own records have recorded nearly every day of his progress, from clumsy toddler to the energetic, confident, yet serene teenager he is today.Much like the television shows featuring this TV entertainer (he is NOT a dog trainer), there's a clear "Don't try this at home! What's particularly disturbing is that every other word in this book seems to be "dominance," "dominant," "alpha" or "pack leader" -- another clear indication that Millan is light years behind the scientific community in his understanding (or rather, lack thereof) of canine learning theory. I hope you have found this material useful in understanding “ How to Raise the Perfect Dog” by Melissa Jo Peltier and Cesar Millan.
