I loved the Be the Pack Leader also. The new DVD season 3 came and I have been watching it non stop. Viewing the episodes that reflect some of our rescue dogs behavior that have specific problems, I can watch for the methods to try with them. I am a seasoned rescue person/dog handler with this breed however, and recommend a professional trainer to anyone contacting me with a problem GWP in their area. For the most part however, it comes down to exercise and mental stimulation for our dogs. Something as simple as being the pack leader, along with a daily migration walk of 45 minutes after vet approval, and then a lot of play/bonding time with the dog makes such a tremendous difference. Thank you for the referral to the website....we need help in so many ways, and learning about this rare wonderful breed is enlighting. They are high energy so would need an owner with equal or greater energy. Mary Thank you Amy!

We have been able to rehabilitate and save the lives of so many German Wirehaired Pointers using the information in Cesar's Way. We have adopted a structured routine in our foster homes, totally based on exercise, discipline and then affection. Our adopters are given a schedule for each dog, and it is a given with GWP's that exercise is the way to a happy, healthy dog. They work for their food with a brisk walk or run, and then settle down for some affection. It has also given us all confidence when bringing in a dog from a shelter with unknown history. These are very large, strong willed dogs for the most part, and being the Pack Leader lends a sense of security to the dogs, as they do not need to bear that burden. I highly recommend this book to absolutely everyone! Mary Murray GWP Rescue, Inc. I totally agree!
