AppId is over the quota

The dog whisperer does it again in A Member of the Family. Cesar Millan shows dog owners how to get the most out of your dog's life. Just like on his TV show Millan uses his talent to show any dog lover all they need to know to help make their dog's life as fulfilling and as long as possible. He uses his unique understanding of dogs to weave his story like a fine fabric showing all the ways in which dog ownership can be truly wonderful.

In the highly successful book, the world-renowned author unerringly shows his true and deep love of everything canine. You get the feeling that he truly knows the mind set of dogs and how to break them of bad behavior without any cruelty at all. His approach is calm and sophisticated and uses kindness as its backbone. In this book he teaches how to recognize and correct behavior through psychological means. Even though he isn't degreed and is not a trainer his confidence and knowledge cannot be denied. The best part about the book is not only does he tell why things are happening and what to do to correct them, he shows you how. It is not just philosophy. It is practical application as well.

With this incredible book, Mr. Millan captures your imagination and brings you into the mind of your best friend. He shows you how to read your dog and understand what is going on in his or her mind. Then with very casual and easy language he shows you how to respond to your dog's needs with ease. It is such a good read that even non dog owners enjoy perusing through its pages. The author does something many writers find extremely difficult to do. He writes like he talks and that is what makes the book so great.

Inside A Member of the Family, Cesar Millan creates an atmosphere of knowledge that is so important to understand and practice in order to keep your home a happy one. He introduces us to his family and shows how they interact with each other and the dogs. It is really a great primer and reference book to keep around the house.

Family Ties



Plaskin, Glenn. Katie Up and Down the Hall. Center Street. 2010.272 pages.

The gangly left-over runt of Sweet Sue's litter, bred by Bob and Helen Pierce and whelped by Tom and Betty Campbell, was determined at six weeks old not to be show quality. Twiggy, as she was nicknamed, traveled from her home on the ' The Farm ' (P ' Gell's Kennel), in Mount Laurel, New Jersey headed for life in a high-rise apartment in lower Manhattan. Battery Park City, the tip of the megalopolis, has a unique small town quality which made the adjustment easier. Plaskin, with the nervousness of an expectant Dad, settled in with Katie, newly named after Katherine Hepburn.

The plucky buff cocker spaniel puppy grounded Glenn Plaskin, celebrity interviewer to the stars. The author describes the book as the most personal book he has written. It is a memoir of how a dog tied together an eclectic group of neighbors to form a family.

Gregarious by nature and with the aplomb of her namesake, Katie soon found doors opened to her. Pearl called ' Oldest ', the grande dame of the hallway, and her good-natured husband Arthur doted on the pup. Soon three-year-old Ryan, ' the kid ', and his single dad, John, joined the pack. Pearl's kitchen table became home base, where meals were shared, advice given and bonds nurtured. Katie's life was filled with races down the hall, costume parties and hobnobbing with the rich and famous.

The market is swamped with plethora of great books about canine companions targeted for the dog loving audience. What makes Glenn Plaskin's different from John Grogan's Marley & Me and Mark Levin's Rescuing Sprite is that Marley and Sprite are dogs that join an already formed family. Katie, by accident or design, selects her pack.

The book is easy reading and moves at a fast clip. Inside the cover are snapshots which create the intimate feeling of sharing the family album. Katie teaches the author, his friends and the reader about the ties that bind the family together and the love which transcends death and separation. Not bad, for a Jersey girl.
