Worth reading numerous times 
I enjoyed watching his tv show and finally ordered this book due to my husband buying me a new puppy. I wanted to train Sgt (new one) right. I wasn't going to end up with another Diablo (older dog). I had antisipated this book to only help with Sgt. Diablo and I had a love hate relationship. I loved to hate that dog. He was obsessed with female dogs when they went in heat.

I recommend... more info

Reiteration of "Cesar's way" 
I like Cesar Millan's approach and methods. This is the reason I read Cesar's way (which I enjoyed) and susequently I got "Be the pack leader". I was thoroughly dissapointed after finishing "Be the pack leader" since I felt that it is nothing but a reiteration of the same principles described in the first book, illustrated sometimes with the very same examples. The only part I thought to be more practical was the final appendix (pages 261 to 297)with tips on how to materialize being a pack leader for your... more info
