How to Access Calm, Confident Energy in You & Your Dog

About this video

In this short clip, Cesar Millan argues that dogs follow calm, confident leadership, and that a pack leader, as he describes it, must be patient, calm, confident, loving and joyful. Millan advises a self check-in before coming home, and practising no touching, no talk and no eye contact until a dog calms down, then giving affection to patience and calmness rather than excited states.

Key takeaways

• Cesar Millan describes pack leadership as requiring patience, calm, confidence, love and joy.
• Millan advises a self check-in before greeting a dog at home.
• Millan says affection should reward patience and calmness, rather than excited or anxious states.
