Quote

In America, dogs are viewed by their names first, breed second. And dogs live behind walls. It's an unnatural point of view.

Always walk out the door ahead of your dog when leaving the house. This will show your dog who is in the leadership role.

On walks, make sure that your dog is not in front of you, pulling you down the street. Instead, keep your dog to your side or behind you. This will also demonstrate to your dog that you are the alpha figure.

I rehabilitate dogs, I train people.

The pack is very important for a dog. Once you give him the right pack and the right energy, you look at him.
Cesar Millan
Image
Owners lavish love on their pets, which is why so many go from non-aggressive pups to being out of control when they're older. People just don't realise their dog must respect them as leader of the pack.

You can also hurt a dog if it's insecure, if a dog is nervous and then you try to pet him, you can make him more nervous. It's not just the aggressive dogs that you can get hurt. It's also the dogs that you can actually hurt. It works both ways.

Puppies and kids naturally go together, but it's up to the adults to teach them how to do it the right way.

My kids are around pit bulls every day. In the ’70s they blamed Dobermans, in the ’80s they blamed German Shepherds, in the ’90s they blamed the Rottweiler. Now they blame the Pit Bull.

When a dog is balanced, you are going to enjoy a true friend.

Discipline isn't about showing a dog who's boss it's about taking responsibility for a living creature you have brought into your world.
Cesar Millan
Image
It's an up and down thing, the human goals, because the human is always an explorer, an adventurist.
Cesar Millan
Image
Give your dog something to do before you share food, water, toys or affection. This way the dog earns his treat. For example, have him or her perform the sit or down command.

People say I train dogs, but in many ways I train people.
Cesar Millan
Image
I deal with misunderstood aspects of animal behaviour like anxiety and aggression. I teach people how to respect different species and let a dog be a dog.
Cesar Millan

Having pets can teach us a lot of things. For kids, they are often their first lesson in responsibility, and being responsible for the well-being of another living thing is actually great for anyone, kid or adult. It teaches empathy, consistency, and so much more - especially if that pet is a dog.
Cesar Millan
Image
Aggression is not a breed thing. Its a state of mind, and it comes from how the human is with the dog. There are four levels of energy, regardless of the breed: low, medium, high, very high. The idea is to get a dog in your same level or lower than you.

Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order.

Image
I'll believe it if I see it for dogs translates to I'll believe it if I smell it. So don't bother yelling at them it's the energy and scent they pay attention to, not your words.

Whenever I've been bitten, it's because I made a mistake. I either misread the dog's body language or let my guard down at the wrong time.

A dog is a vehicle, you know, a dog is a window to Mother Nature and that's the closest species we have.
