"BRANDON MCMILLAN, former host of the Emmy Award-winning television show Lucky Dog (CBS) and host of Shark Week (Discovery), has spent his entire life learning about and working with all types of animals-from household pets to the wildest of untamed beasts. Born into a family of animal trainer entertainers, McMillan has been training wild animals since childhood. He jokes that he's been ""picking up tiger poop"" as far back as he can remember. His early years around animal performers gave him valuable skills he uses in his career as a Los Angeles-based animal trainer for many of Hollywood's A-list celebrities (Ellen DeGeneres, Andy Cohen, Rod Stewart, James Caan, Chris Hardwick, Wolfgang Puck, Hugh Hefner, Don Cheadle, Snoop Dogg, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Presley, and Ronda Rousey) and for films and television."
Lucky Dog Lessons captures the unique combination of heart and head at the core of great dog training. McMillan's methods are practical and effective-obviously honed over a lifetime of training and getting results. They're also unfailingly positive. -- -Dr. Marty Becker, America's Veterinarian, Chief Veterinary Correspondent for the American Humane Association, and bestselling author of 22 books, including <i>Your Dog: The Owner's Manual </i> A practical, approachable guide packed with sound advice on how to safely train any dog while building confidence, trust, and a loving bond. McMillan's inspiring stories of the `unadoptable' dogs he has helped find new forever homes affirm why every dog deserves a second chance. -- -Kwane Stewart, D.V.M, Chief Veterinary Officer, National Director No Animals Were Harmed (R) Program, American Humane Association
