Raising a Dog & Mastering Calm Assertive Energy | Cesar Millan
"Every time you leave an animal behind walls, the animal is going to go excited or anxious. Not always what you're greeting is a happy dog. Most of the time, what you're greeting is an excited anxious dog that is confused. So it's very important when people sees dogs greet another dog there is no excitement there is respect."
Milan challenges the common practice of enthusiastically greeting dogs when arriving home, explaining that dogs left alone don't become happy but rather anxious or excited. He advocates for his controversial 'no look, no touch, no speak' method upon arrival, allowing dogs to return to calm surrender before interaction. This approach, he argues, creates trust and respect rather than reinforcing anxiety.
