How to Raise the perfect dog

I foung a lot of very helpful information for when I get my next puppy. I've only ever had adult dogs who came with problems but Cesar's books and shows help. But now I'm more equipped to raise a dog from puppyhood.

Not what I expected

It is a only audio and is hard for me to follow. I ended up taking my puppy to a puppy training class and that was a better hands on experience.

perfect lessons

This book on tape was the best "research" we could do prior to getting our third Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier in 31 years. We vowed to put in to place Cesar's advice and to get it "right" this time. So far, so good. We know more now and think our new puppy will have an easier transition into our world.

We listened to certain parts of this book repeatedly to reinforce the lessons.

I highly recommend this book to those who are considering bringing a puppy into their homes for the first time ever and for "seasoned" dog owners. I guarantee you will learn something new!

great ideas!

this is a great audio book; really got me thinking about clues to raising my newfoundland pup. some techniques are working well and others are taking more time. i listened to it in the car and although it was 5 discs long, it hardly seemed that. thanks, cesar, for keeping me sane!
