Good for someone considering a dog...
Cesar Millan's Mastering Leadership Series Volume 3: Your New Dog: First Day And Beyond
Great guidance for someone considering having a dog enter their life and household. The "Beyond" portion of the DVD is lacking in content. Mr. Millan needs to do a DVD on puppy training for the dog owner who has acquired a puppy and needs his expert guidance in avoiding the kinds of problems he deals with on his excellent television programs.

Perfect for those interested in a new dog
Let me preface this by saying that I am preparing to bring a new dog into my home and will be voluteering at a shelter for the remainder of the year. For these purposes, this DVD provided a lot of great insights and information that I didn't pick up from the show (I have seen more than 75% of all his shows thus far). It follows 3 families that adopt a new pet from a shelter, from a rescue, and from a breeder.

I purchased vol. 1, 2 and 3 and have read that these DVDs are not worth the money. I have only seen #3 thus far because of my current predicament, and I say that it was worth every penny. It is almost like a hand-holding guide to bringing in a new dog to your home which is what I liked most about it. I am confident now that I will find the right dog to adopt and know what energy to bring to the adoption places.

On the negative side, the puppy section was way too short and the "beyond" part of the title is only in the theory, that all the activities that establish leadership on the first day will carry on to the rest of their lives (he only shows the first day activities).

For those who want to adopt a new dog, this DVD is extremely helpful.

Would have liked more puppy information
I agree wholeheartedly with another reviewer, this is a great video for someone who is thinking of getting a dog. I was really looking for puppy specifics. I saw the title and read the video contents and thought there would be more puppy information...but it was VERY brief and didn't really cover a whole lot. I enjoy watching his show and want to start off right. Oh well on the video.
