Customer Reviews

This is where you start
No, as another reviewer points out, this is NOT a training video - it's not meant to be! In order to train a dog you first have to understand the nature of dogs and this video does that very well. Face it folks, dogs are not that complicated, it's the humans that are. There is good, solid, information on this video. You may need to watch it a couple of times to absorb the concepts and incorporate it into your thinking but when you do you will look at dogs for what they are, canines, not furry children.

All of the effective trainers I've been privledged to work with over the years share the same concepts as presented on this DVD. The only production fault is with the lighting, a little too dim in some segments but I was viewing it on my lap top computer screen so a little tweaking with the controls may solve that, even "as is" the message still comes though.

This is a nice compliment to Cesar's television program and I'm looking forward to the release of his new book.

I have owned dogs, as an adult, for over 16 years, currently have two Golden Retrievers and a German Shepard mix, in addition to having fostered a number of Goldens of all ages, gender and temperment.

I've incorporated Cesar's methods into training with my own dogs, as well as rescue dogs and have seen rapid improvement in some otherwise hard to place foster dogs.

This DVD is a good beginning, view other videos, read other books on training but use this as a foundation in all you do with dogs and you will be rewarded for your efforts - it works!!!

It took me awhile to "get it."
When I first watched this video several months ago, I was expecting to find some serious techniques that I could apply right away; a magic bullet to tell me in 5 easy steps or less, how to be my dog's leader. At that time, I have to honest, I was disappointed, and felt that I should not write a review because it would be negative. It is important to note, that at that time, there were NO reviews yet. Recently, I have listened to most of (so far) "Cesar's Way," on cd, watched the first season on DVD about 5 times, and his 2nd DVD in the Mastering Leadership series, "Becoming a Pack Leader."

NOW I GET IT!! "People Training," IS the primary, fundamental, very important, information, that must be absorbed before proceeding to any "training," exercises. Please buy it, watch it several times, rent or buy the DVDs of the previous seasons, read or listen to "Cesar's Way," and watch Mastering Leadership, Vol 2. "People Training," is Vol. 1. Even if you don't ever fully incorporate Cesar's techniques into your training techiniques, your life with your dog will be enriched due the understanding you will gain about the nature of dogs. You will never regret it.

Only for those at their wits end!
This is a great first place to start, for those new to Cesar Millan's approach to handling "out of control" dogs. Also great for those who are not familiar with Cesar Millan and want to try his techniques slowly, or do not have access to his National Geographic Show "The Dog Whisperer" on cable.

Further detailed information can be obtained by his obtainingnew book, "My Way", reading his blog on the Dog Whisperer website on the National Geographic channel, or joining a group on Yahoo where faster interaction and brainstorming solutions from his book and cds can be found.
