finally, I have read a non computer related book 
this time it’s a book about the dogs called Cesar’s Way by Cesar Milan
and it’s not a dog training book as I thought, it’s a dog behavior book, a dog psychology book
my dog, Tony, is getting a bit old and I’m trying to use the few years he has left the best way I can
and prepare for a new dog…
now the good thing is that I am the calm assertive pack leader that book describes
I newer knew I should describe myself in those words (with English not being my native language) but that’s it
and that’s a good thing
Cesar advocates three things that are important for a dog, exercise, discipline and affection, in that exact order
well my dog has always had a big back yard but as I found out by reading that book that is not enough
I should have walked him
he’s got this problem with his neck, probably because he ate something years before, maybe a chicken or a fish bone
I took him to a veterinary but they were unable to find the source
because of that, he coughs when I put a leash on him
so I can’t really use leash to train him
he’s spent all his life in my back yard and walking the street in front of my house but he never got outside of that except for veterinary visits
I’ve been taking him lately with me in the car for a ride to get him used to the outdoors
the first time he threw up, but now he’s relaxed a bit
he got his discipline from the start, we’re like Cesar’s Mexican people, we tell the dog where his place is in our family
so, no problem with that
the kids, the neighbors, love him and bring him food
and he gets the affection
so he’s very obedient, a bit shy
anyway, Cesar’s book has helped me understand dogs better, understand how they work and how we should live with them
I recommend it
