Cesar's Way

There are far superior dog trainers out there who are less cruel than that creep. I highly recommend Jan Fennell's methods. I trained my dog using her methods, and I have a wonderful, loving, and secure dog.

ETA: sorry, that doesn't really answer your question about the book. My recommendation since you've already purchased it: reject his intimidation techniques, but use the more gentle stuff. Best of luck with your dog.
