1. Never be aggressive.

...always compassionate, but quietly in control.

2. Never project weak energy.

...A dominant dog will have its head up, chest forward... you should follow suit: Stand...straight... hold your head high!

3. Never let yourself get too worked up.

... Pack members must trust their leaders, and that requires balanced energy.

4. Never pick and choose when you discipline.

...Be consistent. Inconsistent reinforcement of the rules leads to inconsistently obedient...

5. Never forget who's the pack leader.

...Being a pack leader is a big responsibility. The pack leader is in charge of the survival of all... sets all the rules, deciding when the pack eats, hunts, sleeps, migrates, and plays. Your dog expects the same from you...

Cesar makes a pretty face for the camera, but he really doesn't profess anything much different thant the principles outlined by the Monks of New Skete several decades ago...

...that's not a dig at Cesar..anyone who encourages positive pet ownership and healthy relationships between dogs and their masters is AOK in my book.

Could have sworn I was reading the Obama points on how to act and talk around white people there for a second, then I realized what it was :)

I love the fact that he CONSTANTLY emphasizes that dogs are dogs and NOT people. He emphasizes that there is no equality between humans and dogs.

Good Advice for people packs too.

A firm No/Leave it works well with my pack.

That said it baffles me that when I swat a fly dead 2 of my boys run out the door.
