Cesar Millan's "Short Guide to a Happy Dog" is the latest of several books by the famous television personality. To anybody who watches his show, "The Dog Whisperer" regularly, much of the advice contained in this book will be quite familiar. And the advice is also similar to what he lays out in his previous books. As always, Cesar talks about the importance of being a "calm assertive" pack leader with your dog. He also shows how when people complain that there is something wrong with their dog, a lot of the time there is actually something wrong with the human. When humans project the wrong energy it can make their dogs anxious and unstable.
Why get this book if you watch the show and/or have read his other books? For one, Millan is always interesting even if some of the time he is just repackaging the same information and guidance into a different format. But of his books, I think that this one is, in many ways, the easiest to follow. You don't have to read it cover to cover but can take away something useful from every chapter. The chapters cover important topics including: principles for a balanced dog, techniques for a pack leader, how to choose the right dog for you, and how to deal with your dog's life cycle changes. Each chapter is divided into a series of guidelines or rules. I definitely picked up some things that I have not heard him talking about explicitly before. My own dog fits into what the AKC calls the "herding dog" category and Cesar's book did contain some interesting advice on how to handle herding dogs (and some of the other AKC groups). He notes that herding dogs have a natural tendency to be anxious, to look for work and to try to herd humans (especially small children) by nipping them in the heels. Cesar gives advice on how to redirect this energy.
