More quotes by Cesar Millan
The dog is a reflection of your energy, of your behavior. You have to ask, 'What am I doing?' That's the right question to ask.
Cesar Millan
I love my dogs and I give them affection all the time but it has to be at the right time or they get confused.
Cesar Millan
Little dogs bite more than big dogs but they get away with it.
Cesar Millan
If you give only 80 percent leadership, your dog will give you 80 percent following. And the other 20 percent of the time he will run the show. If you give your dog any opportunity for him to lead you, he will take it.
Cesar Millan
I think we all connect with dogs the most because they're pack animals. I know that cats are a little bit too aloof for me, although I wouldn't totally object to bringing one into our pack if I could find the right match that would get along with my dogs.
Cesar Millan
Think about a dog’s ability to forgive. This to me is love.
Cesar Millan
With a dog, people are not disciplined. They think that by spoiling a dog the dog is going to love them more. But the dog misbehaves more because they give affection at the wrong time.
Cesar Millan
Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order.
Cesar Millan
Repetition creates the master.
Cesar Millan
When I go and work with people, I never say, 'Your dog is changed for the rest of its life.' It's like a diet. You've got to maintain a discipline and ritual in your life to keep a certain figure.
Cesar Millan
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.
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
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.
Cesar Millan
Let your dog teach you how to get the most out of life! If we could all be more like our dogs when it comes to living in the moment, being honest and authentic, and learning how to not hold grudges, the entire planet would be a much better place.
Cesar Millan
I believe a calm dog is a happy, obedient dog that won't get into trouble.
Cesar Millan
There are a lot of things that people are doing unconsciously wrong.
Cesar Millan
'The Dog Whisperer' to me is a show that had a passion, and it helped me save relationships.
Cesar Millan
Puppies and kids naturally go together, but it's up to the adults to teach them how to do it the right way.
Cesar Millan
You cannot love a dog out of her bad behavior, just as you can't love a criminal into stopping his crimes.
Cesar Millan
Huskies get in trouble. Huskies are well-known to be escape artists. Why? Because they were bred to go long-distance. They're not bred to be in the backyard and just look beautiful because they have blue eyes.
