What was said
"What I help people with is I put them in the cold plunge. And once they go through the fightlight avoidance, they want to see and they get to the calm surrender. What are you thinking? I'm thinking nothing. That's exactly what a clear mind looks like. So through that cold plunge experience, the human gets to understand breath, patience, confidence and not to think anything because you're doing this with your spirit and your instinct and your heart."
Milan uses cold plunge therapy as a teaching tool to help dog owners experience the mental state of 'calm surrender' that dogs need from their handlers. By forcing clients through the initial panic response into stillness, they learn firsthand what a clear, non-thinking mind feels like—the exact energy state that creates trust and obedience in dogs.
