Review by Pam Marr Rybinski
This decade’s “dog whisperer” has an engaging and commanding personality that charms both canines and people. “Cesar’s Rules” sounds suspiciously like “Cesar rules.” Traces of Cesar’s competitive nature surface periodically as he compares his training methods with those of other well-known canine experts. Although the authors try to be unbiased, it is clear that Cesar is very proud of his success. If Cesar were a canine, his tail would be straight up in the air, and he’d be smiling!
The research that went into this book seems comprehensive. It is a compilation of who did what, when, in dog training research methods from approximately 8,000 B.C. to present. Practical suggestions and hints, i.e. rules, are given, such as to be “calm,” and to utilize a “three part formula” of exercise, rules, and affection.
“Cesar’s Rules” is an autobiography, a philosophy book, a history book, and potentially a key to “rehabilitating” your dog or one that you might rescue. One can pick it up, read for a bit, then put it down, and enjoy more later. The index is user-friendly to help one find or remember specific details.
Sharing is caring!
