  Speaker 1: Hey there, folks, and welcome to this episode of Amy
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and TJ. And right now you have a dog that
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is misbehaving and rogues. People think I need a dog trainer?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What is the only name you can come up with?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The only ones? Can you think of a second dog
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: trainer that lives down the street from you, across the country,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and another I can't name another one?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Well, there's no other dog liss there. He is the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: dog whisper.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't whisper during this interview we got
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in the studio right now, the man himself, the dog
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: whisper missus steves alone.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Thank you, guys, I earned the title.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Now is it possible? Are are there any people out
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: there who are just not dog people?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yes? Really?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Now what makes someone it's not a dog person?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know I made them not another person. But
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: what I can tell you is there's three kinds of humans,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: right is the ones who love dogs, the ones who
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: are afraid of dogs, and the ones who don't like dogs. Wow,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you can look at it in the pitbull world, right
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: because some people love pitbulls, some people are afraid of pitbulls,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: some people just don't like pitbulls. But that's not just
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: in the breed, it's also in the dog. Some people
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: just don't like dogs and they're afraid of dogs.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Can you sense that in someone when you first meet them,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Because people will say, I'm not a dog person, or
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not a cat person, or do you just with
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: all the.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Work, they're very obvious a dog in the room. They're
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: obvious without a dog in the room. Because there's no triggering,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you can't get a feel.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you can well do dogs know when they're dog?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Is like an X ray machine of your spirit and
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: your instinct and your heart and now your mind. They
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: don't know what you do for a living, but they
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: just know how your spirit is, how your health, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: is your instinct and your heart. How much are you loving? Low? Medium? High? Right?
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Everything is has a you can measure it low, medium, high.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: You can be happy low, medium or high. So Doug
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: will comments and sense okay, Documan is kind of happy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Do I hear you? Right?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Can you not fool a dog?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We can't cat a dog. You can't fool God, your
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: mom and a dog.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I got my dog. He's a multipoo.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I actually researched breeds because I was going through cancer
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: and everyone in the house was really sad, and I said,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: you know what, we need a dog to bring everyone's
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: spirit sup. That wasn't maybe the smartest idea for me
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: in the middle of chemo to be training a dog
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: and dealing with potty training a dog. But I survived,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We all survived. But I picked him because they said
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: that breed especially can sense when someone's feeling sad or
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: pain and will come to you. He'll go to the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: saddest person in the room, and it's proven to be
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: true eleven years later. If you're upset or sad, he
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: will come to you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He always sits next to me in the house.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't know this was the he does.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He loves you. He comes to you because he knows
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you need some comforting, right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And forth exactly.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But how do dogs sense that? Do you have an
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: idea that?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Obviously I know you don't directly communicate with them, but
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: if anyone would know, it would be you.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not the breed, because you know, there's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of dogs that go to hospitals and they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: not specifically a breed. It's just that particular dog has
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the gift right, and most of the dogs that have
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the gift to outlift people that are not feeling well
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: as the middle of the pack, the happy go luckys right,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Because there's three positions in the pack. Back of the pack,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: middle of the pack, front of the pack. So if
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you're going to bring a front of the pack into
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: a hospital, is actually going to attack them?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You say so the middle of the pack, those are
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the one they accept anybody and that's what they can
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: uplift people. So back of the pack dogs become way
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: too sensitive. That would be too much from the back
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: of the pack to come and visit people in the hospital.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So it's not the breed, it's the position of the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: pack that dog was born to be.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So if you have like Sei Shires, you get a
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: back of the pack because that dog is going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: sense before it happens, so their sensitivity becomes there. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: see it. So if you if you're a person with
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: disabilities you can't see, you get a middle of the pack.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: If you're a police officer, you get a front of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the back.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Can I ask or are people trained well enough to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: identify that is so specific with you?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: It might be commonplace for among folks that do that will,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But do people like in a hospital or whatnot? Do
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they know when they bring in a dog, are we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: doing enough research to make sure we're getting the right
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: middle back front pack dog.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: They call it temperament. I call it position of the pack.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It's easier to see a sensitive dog. You see what
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's like and the guy we can see
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: when the guy is back at the back, we can
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: see the guy. You know what I mean. It's assessment
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and evaluation of the guy what he was born to be.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And the same thing is with the dog. But people
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: call it temperament.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: How much of someone's dog? Is it a reflection of
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the human owner or the family dynamic, all of it?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: They take it on.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: A dog is a reflection of three things. Your energy,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: your philosophy, and your actions. Just like a kid. I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a father, so my kid are going to reflect my energy,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: my philosophy, my actions with dogs. Wow, therefore my dogs
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: are going to reflect my So my what's my energy?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: My energy is silence, calmness, confidence, love, George five. So
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: when I am silence, they reflect that. But when I'm
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: all of them, they reflect that obviously, right, And then
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the philosophy is I practice dog psychology. I don't practice
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: human psychology and a dog most people do, Oh my.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: God, it's a baby.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Just go for a walk and the dog is in front.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I was just walking in you know, right now in
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Central Park and everybody's in the phone walking a dog.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: That's this connection, he says. So I'm pretty sure how
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: how those people when they when they begin the ritual
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: of going for what you want to go for a buck,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: for a walk, they create excitement.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So I do that. So you've seen me do that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I'm like, brody, want to go outside and swagging.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, she said the ship to me once.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: She just doesn't.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Know that is actually a true story. He goes, I'm
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: not Brody. My name is Tej.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Please don't talk to grown men.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But it's cute because in fact, we come back from
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the run from the walk.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I let him run to the door of the apartment,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like let's run, let's run, And I always like to
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: have him come into the and it's cute because you
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: can wrap them up and it's really sweet because there's
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: just this joy.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Is that bad?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Listen? Don't? Oh, it's not bad, because human gets a
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: lot of joy out of it. But most of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: time the dogs begin to become a little confused because
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the human uses a lot of excitement like horse people
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: do the opposite. Horse people are more quiet and more calm,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and then they walk the horse. Right. But dog people,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you go for a walk and you said, no horse
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: person will ever do that ritual. It's a ritual.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I so do that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: That's a ritual. So dog people you in America. That's
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: why I have a show for twenty years. The hardest,
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: the hardest habits to break is human habit. And they say,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I watched the show Caesar, and I read your books. Okay,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: let me see you with your dog.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Sons. The to do no size ears. They do ear
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: size nose because they humanize the dog. And you know
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: humans with ears eyes want to hear things.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Why is that not a good thing to do? What
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I have been doing for eleven years?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And then what is the right thing, because listen, you
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: can do that after you do what they need, right,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So no size ears, that's what they need, right. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: silence and calmness first. Once you achieve that, and you
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: go for a long walk and come back, yeah, you
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: can celebrate. So do the excitement at the end of
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the walk, not in the beginning of the walk, especially
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: for people who have least reactive dogs or dogs who
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: are if you open the door they take off, or
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: dogs they jump on people, or dogs they got the food,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: you see. So what you begin to do is just
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: do a more calm ritual that allows the animal to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: understand what you want because you don't have to use words. Well, yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it more like a Charlie chaplain way of talking than
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you know, the energy buddy language.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I have always been frustrated because multiple people will walk
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: my dog, and then when I end up walking him,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: he ends up trying to walk me, which I cannot stand.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I don't think anyone likes that happening. So I've been
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: a little frustrated. We had him trained initially, but not
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: at all after that one time, and so I've always
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: just been frustrated with not being able to communicate or
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: effectively discipline Brody to not walk me and not to
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: tell me where he wants to go.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: And pull me. But do you have a harness on it?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I had just a leash.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's perfect. Yes, that's actually how you guide a doctor.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So the best way to see who guides the dog
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the right way with the tool like a leash is
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: show show dog show people. So in the dog show
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: that from Achiuaua to a great Day, and they all
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: wear a leash other in the top. The leashes for
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: three things. To guide the dog, to stop the dog,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to park the dog looking what the horse? They guide
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the horse, they stopped the horse, they park the horse.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: That's the same leash. So then the mind of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: of the animal becomes conditioned that that's what that thing
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: is for to be guided. That's when you walk the
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: dog to stop, that's when you pull the leash up.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: So that's when a dog show they pull the leash
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: up and then the brains stopped like a statue. Never
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: pull the leach back because that engaged the pull.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Oh I never pulled it up.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I do pull it back, yeah, And so at the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: moment it's a reaction of the brain. So how you
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: pull the react But if you do this, they stop.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: That's why in a dog show they pull up with
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: two fingers from a Chihuahua to a great day. Best
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: in show wins because the guy guided or the girl
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: guided the right way.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, pull up. I've never tried that ever.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Before you pull because what you want to inject through
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it it's calmness, no brody, Yes, that's about it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I've done that before, except for I pulled back. Yes,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I've been very irritated.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, because the dog is not listening. The
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: dog is not listening because the strategy is not good.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, I knew that the failure was on my part.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: It just wasn't clear how I was failing. But now
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: I understand.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: So all those.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Dogs we see on New York City streets and we
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: look and say, man, what's wrong with that dog? The
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: question is what's wrong with that?
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Correct? The dogs? The business is to train humans, smart humans.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: So most of my clans are very smart, Harbor graduated,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: but they can't go Chiwawa.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: It's funny because I thought, well, I know how to parent,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I know how to be a good mom, But somehow
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: that didn't translate into being as effective as I want
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: it to be as a dog owner.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need the words. You can know the
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: certainty of what you want. Right. So the reason why
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you are good mind because you know what you want
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: and you know how to deliver the message. But the
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: human needs to hear what you want. The dogs don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: need to hear, they just need to feel it, so
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: they can literally do it with their eyes closed.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Is it fair to say that every you mentioned Central Park,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I mean everybody we see you walking your dog is
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: looking at their phone or doing something else. Would you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: recommend anybody walking your dog don't do that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: When you are connected to the to the phone, you're
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: connected to mental things, right, So it's intellectual connection that
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you have. When you are connected with the dog, you're
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: connected to your spirit, to your instinct and your heart.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Trisrespect love where your mind is off. So when you're
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: walking the dog, you don't want to think. You want
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: to feel. What do you want to feel? You want
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to feel happiness, you want to feel health, and you
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: want to feel love. So for an hour, that's what
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: you're feeling, and then the people around will get this
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: energy from you versus this. So the human is like this,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: and the dog is with the tall labs like what's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: what the human shoulders is like this here, So the
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: dog goes here and the human shrink and then the
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: leash is the only reason why the dog is there
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: is because as a leash, Because they're disconnected. It's like
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a couple walking and the guys looking.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: We see that too.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: He's not on the phone, he's somewhere else.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I'm always amazing, girl, you just made a point. I'm
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: amazed when I see sometimes somebody walking down the street
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: with a dog without a leash, and the dog stays
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: right next to them.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: They're connected homeless people, homeless people in La. We have
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of homeless people in La. Nine out of
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: ten they have a pit bull off leash. I'm from Mexico.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Every don't have a leash, right, So dogs in Mexico
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: are skinny, but they don't have psychological problems. Dogs in
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: America are junking. I get to have a TV show.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Is there a single biggest mistake that dog owners make?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Well? Not to check on their energy, not to understand
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the philosophy they're practicing and the actions they're doing right,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Because a dog needs three things right, like a kid.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of kids right now walking around
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: with their nannies and stuff like that. So what are
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: they doing. They're following, where are they going to play?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: And explore? Follow play, explore? So those three activities is
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: how you influence the mind of a child or a dog,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: because that's how we all learn. We follow our parents,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: We play with our parents and explore, follow, play, explore.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: So how does animals teach other their own? They follow,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: they play and explore. But there's rules, boundaries and limitations.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It's not just oh yes, play whatever you want, as
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: long as you want, whoever you want, pick up whatever
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you going, No, no, no no. Within any activity, there
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: is rules, banded limitations because that organizes, it makes you discipline.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Rules, boundaries, limitations.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: What about rewards, Well, the reward is that you're a
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: good human. That's a good reward. Right. Your patience is
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: a reward. Your communists, your knowledge is a reward. So
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: don't think the reward is only food. That means you
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: just have extra money to share, but the biggest food.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Because you want to feed the spirit. How do you
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: feed the spirit? Would you bring your best spirit? How
