    <body><![CDATA[I enjoy reading Cesar Millan's books because they are easy to read but are really helpful.  I'm so glad I read another one before we got our dog and this one was helpful for new information and to reinforce the techniques we learned from the last one.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ceasar is great, love his TV shows and his books.  His recommendation of &quot;exercise, discipline &amp; affection&quot; makes sense, although it is easy to envy the ease at which he seems to execute his rehabilitations.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a fantastic book.  The first half is about training the dog.  The second half is retraining the owner to understand their issues that they're not aware of.  It's fascinating.  ]]></body>
