I definitely recommend reading this book before bringing a new puppy into your life. There are so many puppies out there waiting for adoption. The problem is, they’re so cute and hard to resist that when we bring them home we feel sorry for them, don’t want to be “hard on them” so we let them get away with murder. Well….that cuteness doesn’t last long when that puppy grows up and develops bad habits. That’s right about the time people give up and many times wind up dropping their “new puppy” off at the shelter. This step can be prevented if we know how and this book gives us the knowledge.
How to Raise the Perfect Dog teaches us which puppy is best for our energy level and what to do from the minute we bring it home in order to become the proper leader. It teaches us how to breed respect within the family (pack) so that new puppy feels secure and confident. It is our responsibility to give our dog the best life from beginning to end. This is just one of several of Cesar’s books that tells us how to do just that.
Cesar and Melissa Jo make a great team!

I really liked this book. I found it very informative. As a huge fan of rescuing and also as a knowledgable person when it comes to responsible breeding, I was so glad Cesar put a chapter in dedicated to rescue and finding a good, reputable breeder. There is so much information that 95% of all people have no clue about. The majority of all people don’t know the difference between a responsible breeder and a back yard breeder. I am so glad Cesar is getting the word out so we can stop the overbreeding of dogs and stop the over crowding in shelters around the country. The one thing I didn’t like, was how he raised the dogs with another pack of dogs. Most people aren’t going to have a nice big garage dedicated to their dogs where they all sleep together cozy and warm. It would have been nice to see how to raise a puppy, as the only dog in the house. Other than that, great info, really recommend the book to anyone thinking about getting a puppy.
