Book Under Review
I’m still on the hunt for my first dog. Before getting one, I’d like to be as informed as I possibly can. Since it’s been hard to find a Havanese breeder in my area I’m most likely going to take the adoption route. I’m a huge fan of the show, “Dog Whisperer”. It features dog trainer Cesar Millan. He goes house to house and rehabilitates humans for the most part. Yes, humans. Most of the “problem dogs” learn their behaviour from their owners. They lack leadership. Cesar believes that everything is energy. Your energy will reflect how your dog will behave.
He has a few books out there now but I chose to start with, A Member of the Family. I’m still in the middle of reading it but so far it’s great. If you’ve watched his show then you will love this book. It’s like an extention of what his show is about. Takes you through a process. Makes you think about all the things that come with owning a dog. Then finding the right one for you and your family. How to introduce your new pet to your home. Puppies, adult dogs, feeding, health care and more.
Whether you are thinking of getting a dog or you already have one, I suggest you read the book from front to back. Even if you think you know a certain subject already, you can always learn more.
So far it’s a must read and I can’t put it down!
