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
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
Dogs in America get more affection than women in most Third World countries.
Cesar Millan
There are a lot of things that people are doing unconsciously wrong.
Cesar Millan
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
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
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
You cannot love a dog out of her bad behavior, just as you can't love a criminal into stopping his crimes.
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
People say I train dogs, but in many ways I train people.
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.
Cesar Millan
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
Repetition creates the master.
Cesar Millan
Humans are the only animals who will follow unstable pack leaders.
Cesar Millan
All dogs can become aggressive, but the difference between an aggressive Chihuahua and an aggressive pit bull is that the pit bull can do more damage. That's why it's important to make sure you are a hundred percent ready for the responsibility if you own a 'power' breed, like a pit bull, German shepherd, or Rottweiler.
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
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
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
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
Calm assertive energy is the energy you project to show your dog you are the Pack Leader. Assertive does not mean angry or aggressive. Calm-assertive means always compassionate, but quietly in control.
