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.

 A Must HAVE Book! February 1, 2010

This is just one of those books everyone who has a dog (or plans on getting one) ought to read and have on their bookshelf! In this book, Cesar Milan covers so much of the 'do's' and 'don't's' of dog ownership. If you read this book and follow his suggestions, you will have a happy and balanced member of your family for many years. Yes, even if your canine friend is already just about perfect, you can still benefit from this book by making you and your beloved pet even more happy and content. Be the PACK LEADER! Your dog will love you for it!

I was hoping for something more indepth with practical steps to follow to help resolve any issues. The book is fascinating, but too general.
must read for dog owners November 27, 2009
mom of 3 (huntington beach, CA USA)
Ceasar's approach to dog ownership is so fundamental. Some of his tactics for introducing yourself to a dog can be challenging for a novice (like myself) but should at least be tried to establish the proper hierarchy in your family. While the human is at the top of the top of this heirarchy the dog's position in the family is very respected too. If more dog owners would give their pet's the proper excercise (which is #1 in Ceasar's approach) many dog problems would be avoided. His focus is to keep dogs happy and well adjusted within a family. This should be a must read for any potential dog owner or current dog owner so that fewer dogs end up euthanized or in shelters due to incompatiblilty in their family. I also really respect Ceasar's information about adopting from a shelter or rescue group which is something more people should consider.
