CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
good for teaching commands but leave the eastern philosophy out of it -
I agree wholeheartedly with the author's approach of non-violent training but the whole communicating with your dog using 'direct knowledge' is an Eastern load of whooey. If you start on p 106 with the definitions of classical conditioning, counter-conditioning and operant conditioning and go to the end of the book. You've got a really good book on training your dog. I found the first 105 pages very difficult to stomach as he refers to various 'studies' to prove his points but never gives a citation so you can read the study yourself. This is then mixed with the various New Age and Yogic philosophies that he expouses. If you don't agree with these views of life you can easily bypass the first 105 pages and have a great dog training book.

Worth Reading -
This is not Cesar Millan from National Geographic - who is a great dog behavior adviser - but not really a "dog whisperer" per se. This guy is a dog whisperer and this was, out of all the books I read when I had my problem (aggressive) dog, the kookiest dog book, in my opinion. That is not to say that is wasn't useful, it was. It was just sort of strange. He doesn't even say "no!" to a dog, and recommends visualization and a sort of meditation before training your dog. I think he is a little too accommodating to dogs and wonder what he would do with a real problem dog like the one I had.
Funny thing, one time I was just beginning a jog with my former (aggro) dog Patches and I decided to give it a try. I had scoffed at the visualization spiel in this book but several people told me it was useful, if you visualize what you want the dog to do rather than concentrate on the negative things you fear the dog might do, you will get a better result.
Okay, so I am starting a jog and am dreamily thinking about encountering another dog on the trail and Patches being an angel - and right then a squirrel ran across the trail in front of use, Patches goes absolutely ape&*%t and attacks the squirrel crossing in front of and tripping me - so there I am on the ground after taking a soil sample with my knees and elbows thinking - uhh - I'm not so sure about this visualization thing.
But really - if you are dealing with a problem dog you should at least read this book - it as actually at the other end of the spectrum of (so-called dog whisperer) Cesar Millan's method - but I truly feel it is useful to learn about this approach even though I think Mr Millan has a more effective approach.
Great book. Better than Millan. -
I read Paul Owens book recently on recommendation. He was the original dog whiperer I've been told as this book was published in 1999. Cesar grabbed the title. Owens book is compassionate and very dog friendly. No bullying. Just read another good book too by Alana Stevenson on humane dog training. If I would have been up with positive methods years ago my dogs would have been happier. Read Cesar's book. It was pretty bad. Made me feel at war with my dogs. A lot of bullying.
Not THE Dog Whisperer,Cesar Millan! -
I quickly ordered this book assuming it was written by Cesar Millan. Pretty shameless for this author to use the title "The Dog Whisperer" and using a similar dustjacket to promote sales by associating himself with the well-known Cesar Millan. Alas, my mistake for ordering in a rush - like a fly caught in a Venus Fly Trap. I returned the book at my expense.

Interesting book and helpful, but... -
he goes too far in critizing other methods. He seems like a super nice guy. I would trust my dog with him, and would probably enjoy getting to know him and see him use his training methods.
I've used a lot of his suggestions with my shepherd/rottweiler before reading his book, and saw great improvement in him over the years since getting him at 3 years old. However, having watched the other dog whisperer's show, which is like free college for dog owners, and applied his techniques, my husband and I have seen that next leap of growth that was missing.
My dog is much calmer now with his noise phobias, with putting on his flea and tick medicine, going to the vet, and meeting other dogs. He has improved so quickly we are now looking for another dog to be his companion.
So, this book is very good, but don't knock other methods until you investigate them yourself.
