Cesar Millan
Cesar Millan

Founder of the Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles, Cesar Millan is the star of Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan on National Geographic Channel. In 2005, the National Humane Society Genesis Award Committee presented him with a Special Commendation for his work in rehabilitating sheltered animals. A native of Culican, Mexico, Cesar lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Ilusion, and two sons, Andre and Calvin.

Biography

Professsional dog behaviorist Cesar Millan ("The Dog Whisperer") claims to rehabilitate dogs and train people. Certainly, this extraordinary man has rescued hundreds of troubled canines from destruction and abandonment and taught owners the calm, assertive leadership skills needed to handle difficult, even aggressive dogs.

Millan developed his unique talents on his grandfather's farm in Mexico, where he first observed the "power of the pack" that has become the linchpin of his training techniques. (Today he maintains perfect control over a pack of up to 50 dogs, including some of the most powerful, protective, and aggressive breeds around.) At his Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles, he receives as many as 100 calls a day from pet owners desperate to solve such extreme canine behavior problems as shyness, insecurity, jealousy, and "red zone" aggression.

The Emmy Award-nominated television program Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan debuted on the National Geographic Channel in 2004. Millan gained even more attention when he and his training techniques were featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 2005, he received a special commendation from the National Humane Society Genesis Award Committee for his work in rehabilitating shelter animals. He is the author of several books on dog training -- most notably The New York Times bestseller Cesar's Way (2006) -- and has produced a line of CDs, DVDs, and training tools.

    Every dog owner MUST have it!!!

    I've owned several dogs, raised many from pups, this book made me realize that there is a better way to work with your dogs natural instincts and make everyone's life less stressful. Training a dog and having it respect ALL human's is very easy with this theory. Every dog I've raised I've used a different approach, and this has hands down been the best (currently raising two littermates with a gereatric dog already in the family).

    Great book, must have!!

    You are your dogs family!

    In his newest book, Cesar Millan does an absolutely wonderful job helping you aquire your new dog. The process starts even before you go out looking for a dog and Cesar does a superb job explaining everything you need to think about before getting a dog-where to get a dog, what age to get, why do you want a dog, what breed do you want, etc.

    A fact that's often forgotten by us humans, dogs are not humans! They have no idea how to live in this world with us, even though they long to be part of our family/pack. It is up to us to show them how to live with us. Cesar in turn shows us how to show them that. It is much easier to live with a dog who is integrated as a respectful member of your family rather than one who causes problems within. Let Cesar help you help your dog!
