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
People with strong breeds are trying to be in control because their dog is labeled as aggressive or dangerous. That tells us how ignorant we are even though we love dogs.
Cesar Millan
Image
The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you.

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.

My dogs have been my most loyal friends and constant companions.

Dogs do know how comfortable you are with yourself, how happy you are, how fearful you are, and what is missing inside of you.
Cesar Millan
Image
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.

Think about a dog’s ability to forgive. This to me is love.

Anything that can create balance in dogs is great. If veterinarians can give you the solution and give you why this is causing the behavior, of course. Anything that is good for an animal, let's do it.
Cesar Millan
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.
Cesar Millan
Image
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.
Cesar Millan
Image
I think my life has everything, you know it has comedy, has drama, has action.

Image
Denial,they say, stands forDon't even notice I am lying. Human beings are the only animals who are happily lied to by our own minds about what is actually happening around us.
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.
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

Mother Nature's ruthless to the weak, but isn't arbitrary cruel or negative. Mother Nature saves aggression for extreme situations, and instead uses consistent leadership--to help keep things running smoothly. Mother nature doesn't rule by fear and anger, but by calm strength and assertiveness.

It's not the breed that makes a good companion. All dogs are great companions.

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

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.

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.
