pg.3 c childhood Millan spent much of his early childhood at a farm in Ixpalino, near Culiacin, where his grandfather was a farmer. His grandfather's main job was to care for the dozens of cows, herding them from pasture to stream and back again each day. They lived in a small house made of brick and clay with only four rooms and no running water, but Millan states that he never felt poor—he regarded the farm as "paradise," and none of their neighbors had modern conveniences either. He was fascinated by all animals from an early age, but was most drawn to dogs and spent a great deal of time observing the behavior of the packs of farm dogs and how they worked on the farm, such as by helping his grandfather to herd the cows or guarding family members from aggressive animals.

Term
pg18 a

Cesar counsels people to calmly, assertively, and consistently give their dogs rules, boundaries, and limitations to establish themselves as solid pack leaders and to help correct and control unwanted behavior. He doesn't believe in "quick fixes." Though changing some behaviors can appear to happen in a relatively short period of time, none of those changes will "stick" unless the human acts consistently with his or her dog every day to keep unwanted behaviors from returning. In Cesar's opinion, no one should ever hit or yell at a dog to correct unwanted behavior.
