Cesar's Way by Cesar Millan was a very inspiring book because he tells his life story and where he came from and all he had to do to become successful. He grew up Culiacan, Mexico. He lived on a ranch with his family and did not have very much money. Cesar talks about he came from nothing and illegally entered the United States to start his new life. He started out small being a pet groomer and then started working at a kennel helping to train dogs. It was when people saw him handle dogs that no one would go near that people saw his potential. Two little old ladies funded his first dog training business, The Pacific Point K-9 Academy. Cesar even tells us he can't remember their names. He tells you all his tips throughout the book about being assertive and not agressive. Cesar says the best way to talk to a dog is through your energy. Cesar states,"The energy they [dogs] are projecting tells them everything the need to know" (Millan 62). Dogs can sense good or bad energy in humans. He pretty much just says be the boss and the dominant one with out being overly agressive.
Overall the book was great. I loved how Cesar told us about his past and where he came from. He also gives a great understanding of how to approach and train dogs. It was very risky that he crossed into the United States the way he did. He is very brave for doing that and coming over with nothing but the clothes he had on. He is truly and inspiration.
The only bad thing i didn't like was when he would introduce a new topic mid paragraph and then say I will dicuss this in more detail later on in the book. That is so dumb. If he is going to say something new atleast talk about it for a little while or not say anything at all. Other than that I liked the book.
