The biggest mistake people make is assuming that their dogs think like little humans, and that they can negotiate behavior with them, but it doesn't work that way.

More quotes by 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
Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order.
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
She thinks, I failed twice. If I failed twice I'm going to fail forever. No! That is not the law of life. If you failed twice that means you can learn. It's just a learning experience. It's an obstacle. An imaginary obstacle. She made it real. She made failing a journey of life... Instead do again and make a journey of your life.
Cesar Millan
I believe a calm dog is a happy, obedient dog that won't get into trouble.
Cesar Millan
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.
Cesar Millan
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.
Cesar Millan
With small dogs people don't reinforce the same behavior that they do on a larger dog. If you are a driver no matter what size car you have it doesn't matter. Same thing goes for any gender. All the rules are the same.
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
Always walk out the door ahead of your dog when leaving the house. This will show your dog who is in the leadership role.
Cesar Millan
Dogs in America get more affection than women in most Third World countries.
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.
Cesar Millan
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
Love is leading. People think it has to be two different roles but it is the same.
Cesar Millan
People say I train dogs, but in many ways I train people.
Cesar Millan
I have always been honest with my fans, which means being open about any struggles I have had along the way.
Cesar Millan
A dog is a vehicle, you know, a dog is a window to Mother Nature and that's the closest species we have.
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
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 am a Mexican that has been lucky enough to travel the world, speaking English, but with a heart that speaks a universal language.
