Product Description
Many of us think of our dogs not as pets but as full-fledged members of our families. If you own a dog—or are thinking about getting one—A Member of the Family is the ultimate resource for integrating your canine companion into the life of your household.
What should you do if you need to leave your dog alone at home while everyone is at work? Are you providing him with the exercise he needs? How can you make sure your children and dog get along well? How do events in the human family—such as birth, marriage, or divorce—affect the family dog? All of these questions and many more are answered by bestselling author Cesar Millan in his new book.
Brimming with practical tips and techniques, A Member of the Family addresses the most common issues and questions that emerge over the course of a person’s lifetime relationship with a dog, explaining what it takes to be a good dog owner. From choosing the right dog for your particular family’s needs to setting the rules of the house (yes, you and your family are in charge) to finding a quality veterinarian and monitoring your dog’s health, Cesar offers essential advice for a harmonious home. No topic is left untouched. With success stories from Cesar’s fans and clients throughout, A Member of the Family includes sections on travel and doggie day care, the needs of an aging dog, and dealing with the death of a pet and its long-lasting effects on a family. A chapter on dogs and children is written from the perspective of Cesar’s sons, Andre and Calvin, and one on the role of the strong female pack leader is by Cesar’s wife, Ilusion.
In his frank, simple, and calm manner, Cesar acts as your personal guide as you build a fulfilling, satisfying relationship with your dog.

Book Review December 24, 2008
PennyLane (Northern CA)
The newest book from Cesar with his beloved Daddy on the cover. What a GREAT dog produced by Cesar's methods. There is freedom in using his training methods since you don't have to "wonder" what your dog is going to do next. He's going to do what you want since he wants to be a dog with a strong pack leader. Fast shipping, good price.

If you live with a dog, or dogs, and you think you know your pets, well, think again. Read this or any of Cesar's books to get a true understanding of your dog. And please realize that no dog "thinks he's human"! In fact, no dog wants to be human, but they would like for you to be a dog-like pack leader, and you will enjoy that role.
Great! November 22, 2008

Cesar has great ideas and is a awesome pack leader. We have a puppy and watching his show and this item has been very helpful. I would've definitely liked a DVD to watch instead but since it's not available yet, this worked great.

This was the perfect thank you gift for a friend who did a favor for me. She had bought a new puppy and this helped her know how to integrate that dog into her busy life.

This may be the best of the books that Cesar has written so far. While I do not have any of the Cd's I do have all the books. The main thing that is so helpful in learning from Cesar is he tells you what to look for when training the dog and the actions you need to take. He explains things thoroughly taking the guess work out.This book covers more training and why plus it also has some personal things about Cesar and how he has arrived at the point he is now in training and looking at the dog as an animal. There's a bit more in here about our favorite "Daddy" which we all like to hear about also. Good read and in my humble the "best of the best."
