For the millions of people every year who consider bringing a puppy into their lives–as well as those who have already brought a dog home–Cesar Millan, the preeminent dog behavior expert, says, "Yes, you can raise the perfect dog!" It all starts with the proper foundation in the early years. Here, Cesar tells you everything you need to know to create the best environment for a well-balanced dog in order to avoid behavior issues in the future, and shows you how to correct the most common behavior issues for young dogs. Based on Cesar’s own detailed experiences raising individual puppies from some of the most popular breeds, How to Raise the Perfect Dog is like having Cesar right beside you, as your own personal expert, coaching you and your dog from the first day of your life together. Packed with new information aimed specifically at the particular needs of puppies and adolescents, and written in Cesar's friendly, accessible style, How to Raise the Perfect Dog answers all the most commonly asked questions and guides you towards a loving, satisfying life-long relationship with your best friend. #1 New York Times bestselling author, Cesar Millan shows you how to raise the perfect dog and prevent behavior issues before they start, including: • what to expect from each stage of your puppy's development • quick and easy housebreaking • the essentials of proper nutrition • the importance of vaccinating–and of not over-vaccinating • creating perfect obedience from day one through rules, boundaries, and calm-assertive leadership • how to avoid the most common mistakes owners make raising puppies and young dogs • how to correct any issue before it becomes a problem • unique exercises and play to bring out the best in every breed Review: What I've Been Waiting For - This book is great--very informative, positive, and practical. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting a puppy. As an experienced animal handler, I feel that this book is a great guide for the beginner and experienced alike. Among the things that I find particularly useful are the careful, step-by-step instructions, specific examples from puppies that Millan raised while working on this book, discussions from experienced breeders and dog trainers, and an extensive appendix of suggestions for further reading. The only thing not in the book that I would have loved would be a more thorough discussion of integrating the new puppy into a home that has older dogs already. While there is some discussion of this, it is not enough to provide the guidance I really would like. While some dog trainers will denounce Millan's methods as archaic and harsh, I would encourage readers to keep an open mind. While Millan does not employ a positive-reinforcement-only approach--which is what many of his detractors prefer--his methods are gentle and concerned only with the well-being of the dog. His methods have made a huge difference in my life and in my dog's life. She is happier and more balanced when I follow Millan's formula. Everyone who meets her comments on how well-behaved she is and takes great pleasure in petting and playing with her--even people who are typically frightened of dogs or just uncomfortable around them. As a high-energy, alpha-type dog, I don't believe that would be the case if I had not followed Millan's methods; for my strong-willed dog, positive reinforcement is only sometimes a strong enough motivation to encourage the behaviors I want, but discipline coupled with positive reinforcement is exactly what she needs. Review: I now include this book in my puppy packages - I really enjoy watching the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan's show so I out of curiosity I bought 3 of his books. This one is very good. I found there were things that I could learn and put into practice, even after having dogs for almost 45 years. I do understand what the person who wrote the review about Cesar's "zen" thing and that it is frustrating when you don't have an older dog to help with the house training. Just let me say that I am an Australian Shepherd breeder and I still have to house break a puppy even though I have the parents. The whole example thing is frustrating to me too. I find it hard to believe that a breeder can have 8 week old puppies house broke and crate trained. Although she did say she often keeps her puppies until 10 weeks. I did find a lot of great information in the book and the above things mentioned didn't bother me much. In fact my puppies new families get a puppy package from me and I have now included this book in the puppy package. I think it will be very helpful to families who have never owned a dog or have not had a puppy in a long time. So far my puppies new families have been very happy to receive the book. So many times people ask me about vaccinations, crate training, what kind of food, where puppy should sleep, and on and on. I am happy to answer their questions but it is a lot of info to absorb. So the book comes in very handy for them. My one word of warning however is that often Cesar says to consult your vet. Where that is a very good idea and I recommend it I would also caution that it is not possible for your vet to know everything. A great example is nutrition. Most Vets are not schooled in nutrition. In fact one of the worst dog foods you can buy is often sold in vet offices. It has the word "science" in it's name. Great tactic. Sell it at a vets and use the word science in your name. Anyway just remember no one loves you dog as much as you do. Over all this book was a interesting read with very useable information. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,526 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Dog Breeds (Books) #2 in Dog Training (Books) #238 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 9,474 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81g731Z+hVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What I've Been Waiting For *by S***Y on November 4, 2009* This book is great--very informative, positive, and practical.

I had seen the show and like the techniques used by Ceasar. I would like to say, however, that this book is really not for "beyond" puppy hood in a training or obedience sense, but more for establishing foundation routines, building a respectful human-dog relationship (or pack relationship),learning dog behavior, and communication between you and your new puppy. You will take a lot of valuable information away with this book on the behavior of canines, but there is very little on training and obedience or going further in pack leadership skills. Ceasar makes no excuses for this and is clear about the purpose of this book from the description. Using boundaries with your puppy right away is invaluable information that needs little reinforcement in your dogs lifetime after it has been firmly established the first time. creating a comfortable environment and respect between you, your dog, other people, and other dogs. I can say that I am very pleased with how my dog grew up by teaching myself these exercises, and I love to change peoples minds about my breed. He is very well behaved and I picked truly the perfect dog for myself with the advice given, my Doby and I couldn't be happier. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond - Puppy Training in 7 Easy Steps: Everything You Need to Know to Raise the Perfect Dog - Zak George's Dog Training Revolution: The Complete Guide to Raising the Perfect Pet with Love --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/228014-how-to-raise-the-perfect-dog-through-puppyhood-and-beyond](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/228014-how-to-raise-the-perfect-dog-through-puppyhood-and-beyond) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
