A Member of the Family: Cesar Millan's Guide to a Lifetime of Fulfillment with Your Dog

This is my favorite thus far and I've read them all. Cesar and Melissa Jo make a great team once again! I really love Ilusion's chapter. I started with that one and once I opened it I sat in my car reading, unable to put it down.
Cesar's books motivate dog owners and non dog owners alike learn to become more balanced. His energy jumps off the pages and you can't help but take it in. In this book he talks about adoption (really important to me), preparing for a visit to the vet, how the family energy as a whole effects your dog, healing and energy.....SOO much more. This is a must read!

This is a wonderful book for both first time dog owners and experienced owners. This gives a step by step direction from the moment you bring home your dog/puppy up to the sad day that we must face when our dogs reach the end.

Cesar Millan shares many of his own life experiences which are wonderful to learn about. Also his wife and sons share some of their thoughts. This book is truly about family.

This is an excellent book for people to read BEFORE getting a dog and also for those of us who have had dogs for years as there are many insights that we can overlook.

Cesar Millan understands dogs from the dog's view and helps us to understand in an easy way how to have a fulfilling life for both dog and human.

I highly recommend this book. I will read it many times over and keep it close by for future reference.

I just finished reading this book: A Member of the Family. It is a great read. You will learn from Cesar what to do and how to do it. You'll get good advice for every day doggie problems. This is one of those books that will be reread and kind of used as a Doggie Bible.
This is a must read for all dog owners. I give this book all five stars. Not only will your dog benefit from what you learn, but yourself and family will benefit from it too.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cesar Millan's first two books, "Cesar's Way", and "Be the Pack Leader". In turn, I highly recommend his new book "A Member of the Family" for any person or family that has a dog or is considering getting one in the future.

"A Member of the Family" covers all aspects of dog ownership. It begins by exploring the energy level of your family's lifestyle in order to match it with a dog of the same or lower energy. The book continues with options of where to adopt a dog & how to properly introduce your dog to your home. It even includes chapters covering topics such as health care for your pet and what to do when you are traveling. There is a touching chapter at the end on how to cope with the death of your beloved pet.

It was especially interesting to read the portions of the book written by Cesar's family. There is a chapter from his wife Illusion, and a one from his two sons, Andre & Calvin. I enjoyed learning the family's thoughts on how their balanced approach with dogs has enriched their pet's and their own lives.

Our dogs are TRULY "A Member of the Family"!

Cesar does it again! Just when I thought he had outdone himself with his last book, he comes out with another great practical way to have a more fulfilled relationship with your dog.

Even if you are a faithful Dog Whispereer watcher this book is for you.

Thanks Cesar for another great one!
