Cesar Millan, his books are the bible for us to have a dog. I've read some of his books, watched his shows and educated myself to be a ideal "pack leader" for Toby's sake.
His books are so eyeopening. He keeps saying that human being and dogs are so different, if you want to raise a good dog, you must understand dog's nature.
The key is that you must satisfy his instinct first, mainly migration (walk) with his pack leader and then make him suit human beings which means discipline, and then give them a lot of love.
Exercise, decipline and affection in this order.
According to him, a pack leader has to always project "calm assertive" energy which makes him feel stable and submissive. You can not melt down his cuteness, because dogs don't trust emotional energy.
I'm hoping it's not too late. I have to stop babying him. I'll keep trying when I aware it anytime. but, you know...it's sooo hard not to melt for my beloved Toby!!
