    Cesar Millan's Lessons from the Pack
    L'uomo che parla ai cani
    • Profondo e straordinario conoscitore del comportamento e del linguaggio dei cani, fondatore del Dog Psychology Center per il recupero e il reinserimento dei cani più problematici, Cesar Millan è una vera e propria star. Il suo programma Dog Whisperer in onda sul National Geographic Channel è seguito costantemente da milioni di telespettatori. A lui si sono rivolti celebri attori e attrici di Hollywood, imprenditori miliardari e personaggi influenti del mondo della comunicazione, tutti con lo stesso problema: come fare a stabilire un rapporto equilibrato con il proprio cane? Come rendere felice il proprio amico a quattro zampe? In questo libro, che ha venduto oltre un milione e mezzo di copie, Cesar Millan spiega i fondamenti del proprio metodo: imparare a trattare (e rispettare) il cane in quanto animale; evitare ogni forma di umanizzazione; smettere di credere che il cane abbia le stesse necessità di un bambino. Perché spesso non è il cane ad aver bisogno di addestramento: è il padrone. I comportamenti, le nevrosi e le abitudini umane, infatti, sono quasi sempre la causa delle ansie, degli squilibri e delle ossessioni dei cani. Una guida completa, ricca di esempi tratti dall'esperienza diretta dell'autore, che aiuta a comprendere la psicologia e il linguaggio del nostro cane e permette di creare con lui un legame appagante, profondo e duraturo.
