We *love* this dvd. It has three different stretch routines which are all choreographed so by the end of each, I feel a blissed out sense of relaxation and my body being straightened out, all without being too hard to understand or execute at my own level (after a few times through to get familiar). We’ve almost worn out this dvd, we’ve used it so much. I hope they never stop making it because we will need replacements!

The only thing I’d criticize is that there isn’t more time spent on the neck; it seems geared more towards people who work on their feet than people who sit at desks all day. Having said that, there is not a morsel of time spent on anything I don’t actually need. Every routine is packed with stuff that makes my body feel better and longer.

I love M. Lewis’ style and demeanor and the solitude and peace of the way the scenes were shot outside with her doing a voiceover rather than using a mic during the routines. Even though I know the routines by heart now, being guided through them is a relaxing part of the process; I get to just follow along. Her voice and the music are soothing.

This DVD is worth its weight in platinum.

If you think your dog has behavioral problems, you’ll feel better after watching 10 minutes of Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan’s hard-luck cases. The smashing success of Millan’s National Geographic Channel series is due partly to that feeling of relief–that no matter how bad your own dog’s behavior, by and large, it’s not nearly as bad as Millan’s clients’; it’s kind of like Nanny 911, but with dogs. Millan is also a telegenic, confident animal handler, whose basic message is reinforced in virtually every case: Don’t treat your dog like a human; treat him like a dog, and be the alpha dog of your own household/pack. This canine golden rule applies to all kinds of doggie nut jobs: crazy little Chihuahua NuNu, who bites everyone but his owner; big sweetie-pie Great Dane Kane, whose puppy mishap sliding on a slick floor has made him terrified to walk on tile or linoleum; Brooks, who spins in circles trying to re-create a game involving looking for a laser light; and Maya the pitbull mix, who’s sweet-tempered enough to let a kitten “nurse” on her nightly, but who tears apart her household a dozen times a day. One of Millan’s most amazing success stories in this 26-episode series involves Churchill, a Rottweiler-shepherd mix who’s docile and loving at home, but literally tries to attack all other dogs and even bites a neighbor, thus ending up on the brink of doggie death row. But within 15 minutes, Millan’s calm confidence, and gentle but firm application of tugs on a well-angled leash have Churchill passing and sitting near a strange dog placidly.

Extras include some outtakes, footage of Millan’s beloved wife and kids, and a hilarious “audition” tape, in which owners with their unhinged dogs are telling an off-camera producer why their pet should be considered for the show. All the while, the dogs are pacing, whining, refusing to budge and otherwise providing a lot of unintended amusement. –A.T. Hurley

It is interesting that Millan’s series and his books always say that you should consult a dog trainer before you apply the techniques. He acknowledges that his is not the only way. But they work! I have tried many different methods on my bullheaded Jack Russell, over periods of months, to have little or no effect. Why? Because I was not the Boss, I was the one who showed him how to do tricks (which he did quite well, after pulling my arms out chasing after rabbits). Exercise! Discipline! Affection! in that order! and guess what…exercising the dog first works wonders. And giving him twice daily 2 to 3 mile walks (my husband does one, I do the other) works wonders. Millan’s techniques work in conjunction with this. The dog now can watch rabbits take off right underneath his nose, and he is so focused on the walk that he basically ignores them.

I have to say that I see very few people actually giving their hyperactive dogs 45 minutes of exercise. I suppose this goes hand in had with the growing health problems we all have. The best exercise machine, if you are conscientious, is a dog. Get one, follow Millan’s caveats, and voila! Healthy owner and healthy happy dog.
