Emilio Rivera: The Dog That Saved My Life | Walking with Cesar Ep. 15

Most pit bulls, or most fighting dogs, they're really good with a different species. Not with his own. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. Not with his own. Look at the humans. The humans are good to dogs, but not to humans. You know, I didn't get my first dog till I was 32 years old. 32? Okay, you know, we were poor growing up. Lower the hand. So it was more, I learned the mouth to feed. Uh-huh. So we had to have a dog. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that dog changed my whole life around. It's easy to love them, but it's fun to lead them. It's funny, because you can take them everywhere. Yeah, well. When you just love them, you say, I can't go to the beach because my dog is gonna kill everybody. We're from the desert. We're not from the hood, man. We're from the desert. But only a pack leader can make ---- happen. And I'm the pack leader. You have to. You have no choice. You're already paying for the food, so might as well take the position. This is Emilio Rivera. This is the Duke right here. Been watching Cesar for a long time. It's finally gonna be great to meet him. Here we go. Emilio! How you doing, brother? Doing good, man. What a pleasure, man. Oh, look, it's hunting, it's hunting. Stand off just a little bit. Be careful, yeah, it's hunting. You got your pack over here. It's hunting. Look at that. Yeah, so, you know, when a dog goes in front, what happens is they can make decisions of pulling the trigger. So right there, he's hunting. I've never seen him that way like this. Well, it's a pack. Wow. Versus one, right? So, like when you see one guy in the street versus when you see a pack of guys in the streets. It's how you're gonna approach it. Yeah? How you're gonna approach it. Stay right there. So your dog right now is doing a mad face, mad face. Duke. First dog? No. You have many dogs? I have three more at the house. Yeah? And that's been our problem, is that he can't get along with nobody just now. But see, what happened, we lost the king. We faced him, and now the dogs won't accept him. Right. Hold on. Let me just bring it back. So, the harness is not for walking. The harness is for pulling. Hey. So, see, when you have the harness, you send them in front. Okay. When you have the leash, you send them right next to you. See? So tools, you're a guy, you're a tool guy, right? Guys, for the most part. I'm a tool guy. Right, tool. What is this tool for? So this tool is for guidance. That tool is for you to be dragged. So if you are looking for humans, money, like search and rescue, harness. But if you need to make sure that your dog doesn't, you know, behave that way in public, or, you know, you wanna go to cool places, and then you put it right next to you, right? Control. Yeah. Follow you. Even the gangs need a pack leader. Right? And so, even the motorcycle guys, even the motorcycle guys, they're in the front, they're in the back. See it? So when you're in the back. That's a great analogy, brother. That's a great analogy. When you're in the back, you are following. Right. Right, and then when you're talking and saying his name, or everything you're saying, the only thing you're doing is you're encouraging it. Okay? By saying his name. Yeah. No, hey, stop it. Hey, here. It's okay. Don't worry about it. You know what I mean? Like, because a dog is like this. And you're saying these words behind it, so it only makes them this way. Pop out his chest. Yep, yep. Only because the position that you're in. That's why your sound. Hey, chill, relax, relax. This is where you can send words, because the brain is in a different formation. So when the brain is in that formation, whatever you're saying means what he's doing in that time. They don't rationalize. Right, right. So they can't say, oh, Emilio, I'm doing good, man. I'm gonna kill this guy. And then we go home. Right, right, right, right, right. Right? So here, watch this. I'm gonna come in, stay right there. There you go. Stay right there. Hey. So instead of him facing forward, hey, I'm gonna ask him to ignore them. So he learns to tolerate. Hey, hey. And then you relax the leash. You only guide him when he wants to do eye contact. If he's relaxed, you relax. Hey. He's not trusting right now, right? That's what it is. He doesn't know how to trust the human. Hey, come on, come on. He doesn't know how to trust. So in a way, you're allowing the fighting side of them to come out. That is the dog's side of them. This is what people like about dogs, right? When they surrender to things. Right, right. But we know that dogs are predator so they can have the fighting side of them. But that's not what we want. No, no, not at all. You see it? So fight, flight, avoidance. So before they learn to be like that, they have to learn to avoid fights. So this is like the way you tell the mind. Mind, do not choose fight. Choose avoidance. But he doesn't know how to do it yet so you have to guide him. You see it? The move he makes, you're making it. When he moves away, it's because he was not doing, you know, facing the dog. He was more calm as he moves away. Get it? So it's here. This is avoidance, calm, surrender. Like when you're doing avoidance and you're calm, surrender, you're avoiding those people, but you're calm, surrender. You're not afraid. Right, right. You see what I'm saying? You're just avoiding a fight. But you're calm, surrender to here. Right? That's beautiful, man. Wow. It's a street. Yeah, I know. Dog's a street. I get it, man. You know, wow. Right? Or you fight, or you flight, or you avoid. Yeah. Or you calm, surrender. Right. Right? The calm, surrender. Calm, surrender. Yeah. We don't want fight. We have plenty of wars. Right? Plenty of wars right now in the world. 2026, plenty of wars, you know. I'm from Sinaloa. Sinaloa cartel fight. Jalisco. The new generation fight. So I come from fights. Right? But what I teach people is not to fight. Even though I come from a place that I should be really good at fighting. Right? But I chose a different way of being. Right? Where this Sinaloense guy from Culiacan teaches people to be calm, confident so the dog can be calm, surrender. And then once they practice that, they can do happy-go-lucky. That's when they play. Right. Okay? It's really weird because he plays with any human he meets. He loves it. Yeah. Most pit bulls, or most fighting dogs, they're really good with a different species. Not with his own. Right, right. I get it. You know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean. Not with his own. Look at the humans. The humans are good to dogs, but not to humans. I want you to feel the peace with a pack. Claim your spot. Claim your pace. Claim your seat. Down the street. Lower the hand. No, don't talk. Just move. Yeah. This is about silence and calmness and confidence. This is not about talking. Don't look at the floor. Bring him, you know, put him in the, the one in the, okay. You can put all of them in one side if you want. Come baby. This way. No baby talking. Oh, that's okay. Oh, really? Yeah, no, no, no baby talking. Just calm, huh? Just calm, confident. Silence. See, I'm not talking to your dog. I'm just guiding him. Listen, what it is, I guess because I baby my dogs so much. It's good. Baby, baby is good, but not right now. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, okay. If they were babies, if they were babies, we wouldn't put them on the leash. Right, yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, because my dogs would be like nine years old and I'm still there with my babies. Yeah. They gave me so much love, Cesar, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that's why I love them so much. Yes. They changed my life around. Yes, tell me about that. You know, I didn't get my first dog until I was 32 years old. 32? Because, you know, we were poor growing up. Lower the hand. So, it was more another mouth to feed. So, we're not allowed to have a dog, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm coming from. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, and I grew up in a real tough area. Lower the hand. And I was, when I was 32, I got my first dog. His name was Petey Boy. Rest in peace, Petey. Yeah. And that dog changed my whole life around. It showed me how to, I've never been loved like that. You will never learn how to love unless you get a dog. I mean, of course humans will love you, you have a wife, you have a girlfriend, whatever. But the unconditional love they give you, brother, it changes your heart. You know what I'm saying? And that's why it's a good motivation for you to give them what they need, which is your leadership. So, they need your leadership before your love. So, you needed their love from them. So, what can we do in return in order for them to be peaceful? Every pack needs a leader, every pack. And the good leaders are patient, calm, confident, not loving. That's not it. Oh, man. Direction protection is done by patience, calm, confidence. Anything in life you achieve because you're patient, calm, confident, not because you love. It's because you're patient, calm, confident. I'm glad I'm here with you today, man. Thank you, brother. You're teaching me something really important. Yeah, and look, this ranch. I know, it's so beautiful. This ranch. This ranch was built with patience, calm, confidence. Do I love what I do? Yes, I do. So, I see it. But to build this thing. I've been watching you for years, brother, and you should tell me you love what you do, man. Yeah. I love what you're doing with my duke, you know? Yeah. So, right now, we're burning this excited energy, right? Slowly, it's gonna let it go, right? Oh, sorry. Don't worry. Oh, come on. So, something like that, would I apologize like I just did right now? Apologize once he relaxes. Don't apologize when he has the pain, because then you did it. Oh, okay, right, okay, right. Like, do apologize, but wait until the discomfort goes away, and then you can say, listen, what I did over there, I'm sorry. But listen to this. Okay. Because you step on a dog, the dog is gonna go, ouch! And then you say, I'm sorry. You did it. Oh, okay. But so, I mean, apologize because among each other, they hurt each other all the time. They never apologize. So, they don't need an apology. I never thought of it that way. Right, they never. You're saying when your dogs, when they hurt each other, they don't come back and apologize, right? Right. So, walking with a dog is about feeling your spirit, your instinct, your heart, and the last thing is your mind. Here, it's not about thinking. Here, it's about feeling. Feeling your calm, confident. Now, think you're calm, confident, and your body says this. Look, claim your spot. Make sure your pack is on line. Then you just move. See it? This pack stays here and this guy stays here. The pack rehabilitates him. So, by him doing these activities, eventually his pack-oriented behavior will come in. Your human-oriented behavior is not to be alone. Your human-oriented behavior is to be in a group, in a pack. Even in jail, people are in a pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is beautiful. First time I've seen Duke walk in a pack. Right? So, earlier, that's how I rehabilitate dogs. I rehabilitate dogs because I put them in a pack. A dog by himself, he doesn't know how to be in a group, so he needs a pack to reteach him. And anybody would think, you know, a guy that looks as tough as you look would think he has everything under control. Now, when you do it from the heart. Well, you know, you start losing a little bit when you have the heart, man. You start feeling too much, you know what I'm saying? Look, first, for me, is my spirit. Second is my instinct. Third is my heart. And the last thing is my mind. First is God. Second is, oh, see? That's not your heart. That's your loyalty. My loyalty, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know, at the end of the day, brother, when I was in my last in my room. Yeah. That's why I fell off. Yeah. You are spirit before you learn about the heart. Right? If you don't have spirit, that means you have no life. So, you can even talk about heart if you don't have God. Second is your body. That's your instinct. Right? You need to have a body where this life is house. Then you come to earth and you learn about love and about goals, missions, and dreams. And then it's up to you to make it happen. You know, most people have it backwards. I know. Like you said right now, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Until you go the way, the order you said right now, that's when it happens. Yeah, come here. That's it. Grab this thing. Don't think about it. Go. Don't think about it. Go, go. There you go. Very well said, very well said. Look at this, huh? There you go. And once in a while, he'll want to come across and I just pull him hard, you know? No. No, you just pull up and relax. And that's it. Right there. And I always heard about the colors like this, but then I always go, that's mean. For me, that would be mean, you know? And I don't want to be mean. Let me have it, let me have it. No, I understand. That's when you don't know how to use the tool. Because the tool is not to be mean, the tool is to guide. Now, have you seen dog shows? I have. Best in show? Yes, of course. From a Chihuahua to a Gray Dane to the French Bulldog, they all have the leash in the same place, all the way in the top. I'll tell you why. Because the leash all the way in the top removes the nose away from the ground and keeps the eyes focused. That's why. You have no choice. Right, right, right, right. You see it? So when you see it as a form of cruelty, tell you the truth, that's what I always see it as, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. But you know what I see cruelty? When the human is not patient, when the human is not calm, when the human doesn't have knowledge, that's cruelty. Because that's how they come out with all these conclusions. You see it? So then dogs in America develop aggression. Why? People are so loving. Why would a dog in America develop aggression when they love him so much? In America, dog is number one. Not God, it's dog. In Mexico, God is number one. You see it? American dog is number one. Everything has a formula. So just look at the formula you follow, that's why you have the outcome. That's why formulas are made, so we can see it with our eyes and think it with our mind and then make a decision. Do you wanna go a good human or a bad human? There is formula to become a chapo. What's your son's name? Is that your son? This is Rocco. Rocco! Come here. How old are you? 19? Come here. Put the backpack on. Hold it right here. He walks him every day, bro. Relax. Always with a harness though, you know? Yeah. Head high, shoulders up. Let's go. Teaching a kid how to walk a dog, it also teaches body language. It teaches to be quiet. It teaches to be calm. Don't let him drag you to the right. You stay in the middle. There you go. Relax the arm. Boom, that's it. Yeah, shoulders up, head high. See, body language is important. Relax the arm. That's it. I guess we change the Duke's leash when we get home, you know? Yep. Right? Now give him the pack so he can feel the gentleness of the pack. Grab the pack. Okay, grab the pack. This is a father and son activity. Relax, shoulders up, head high. Don't look at the ground. Go. Just move. Don't hesitate. In life, we have to learn not to hesitate, especially when we're trying to create what we want. The way you make things happen is that you're patient, calm, confident, and you move. When I jumped the border, that's exactly what happened. I was patient, calm, confident. I run. Full of faith, full of instincts, full of passion, and the mind cannot be fearful because if you become fearful or hesitate, you lose your faith. Right, that's right. You see it? That's right. So, faith is the last thing which you ever lose because God never lose faith on us, so there's no need for us to lose faith on him. You see it? And how can we accomplish that, Cesar? Walk dogs. Because dog is God backwards. That's right. You see it? So, the same thing as required to be with God is required to be with a dog. It's just with God you follow and a dog you lead. I'm a big believer in that, brother. I mean, as far as God is a dog. Just hold, just hold. All right. Shoulders up, shoulders up. Always showing the basket, huh? Boy, you're lucky. You're the father. Right. You're the father. You got to lead by example, brother. You have no choice. Once you enter into, I brought a kid into the world, you're responsible of this. His spirit is into his heart, right? Once you bring a dog into your life, you're responsible of the spirit, the instinct, and the heart. Not just the mind. And it's an order. Spirit first. Because spirit is about honest, integrity, loyalty. How's it feel? It feels pretty good. I know. This is medicine. If you need me, I'll go get a piece like this, okay? No, no, I'll give it to you. Oh, yeah, okay. Gracias, brother. Gracias. Thank you. So now, the Frenchie is going down because the weather. See, this is when Mother Nature is helping you. It's hot. So now, instead of using his energy for fight, he uses his energy for walking. Here, let me have it. Is it okay the way he's panting right now? No, we won't. Yeah? Well, it's good. We can use it against it. It's like making gorditos, you know, run. Wow, dude got a kind of gordito. What's going on? We thought we were buff. We thought he was buff, brother. He's out of shape. He's a gordo out of shape. And if he ever gets like a little hot or getting overheated, never wet the top. We always do it here at the bottom, right? Here and the paws. And the paws come in? Yeah. Okay. That's the cooling system. You hear that, man? We knew this part, right? Right here, the belly. And the paws. Put it up right here, man. Yeah, also right there. Yeah. Put it down here. Put it out right there. Yeah. Good boy, Duke. Yeah, this is a perfect time if you want to talk. Because he's not fighting. Don't talk when he's fighting. Don't talk when he's misbehaving. Fix the problem, remove him from that state of mind, and then you can go back to talking. You know what it was? Right before Christmas, we had a dog named King. We had to rescue him as well. And he got along with the other dogs so good. Then King passed away unexpectedly. And he broke a heart, you know? It just so happened that a friend of mine put up a post that this dog's going to be put to sleep. Uh-huh. I forgot, wherever my heart plays, and he had 10 minutes to live for that. So she couldn't get there. Oh, they were going to put him down or what? They were going to put him down. Okay, yeah. And she couldn't get there in time, so she sent somebody over there. Yeah. And they saved him. They brought him to my friend. He fostered him, and he put him. My dog died the next day. He was on Instagram. And he looked just like my dog. Yeah. See, I'm a firm believer, and it's true. It has to be true. When you lose a dog, I know it hurts back. But get another one, loco. You know why? Because I swear to God, that spirit comes into them. You just find a different body. That's all it is. Remember that movie, Dog's Purpose? Yeah. That's what makes me feel better when I, I hate to lose an animal. But when they passed, now I feel better that he's coming back. You know what I'm saying? And King came back into the Duke. Huh? You know what I'm saying? There you go. Everybody has a soft side, baby. Everybody has a soft side. They made me softer. Yeah, that's good. I was a hard man. That's good. And the dog changed my life. Now, you know. Now, just balance it. Balance it. And instead of hard, come confident. Okay, good. Instead of, you know, patient, come confident. With the love and the joy. Because they're going to still love you, right? You know, regardless. Mas. Mas, right? Yeah. Porque as animal. So, you know, I'm always, I baby them like crazy. Yeah, yeah. But you see, when you're a little bit more like the leader, then they love you more. Yeah. You dig what I'm saying? Makes sense. Yeah, because you can give direction, protection. Right now, you couldn't give it. Your dog is going to be anti-social his whole life. He's never going to meet an emu. He's never going to meet a chicken. So, when you give leadership, they create more friends. It's not like you have a police dog or personal protection dog. He's a Frenchie. He's not supposed to try to kill people or animals. You see what I mean? So, you don't have a breed or a dog that you got for that particular purpose. But yet, your dog is practicing aggression. Right. So, why would a dog that is loved this much practice aggression? Because he doesn't have a pack leader. That's why. Only pack leaders can make things happen. Right. Only. The shot caller, right? The shot caller, baby. Pretty much, yeah. That's right. That's the shot. So many titles in the dog world is pack leader. Pack leader, okay. And the human is the presidente. Jefe. It's the jefe, el patron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, check this out. So, when I go home, because I have three other dogs at home that he doesn't get along with, I should start doing this. More often, walking with them. Yeah, they don't have to, you know, play and explore together, but they can certainly walk together. Here, grab this again. Now your brain knows how to do it. Go ahead. Relax. Yeah, go for it. So, on the other one, because they're so well behaved, do I put this kind of issues on them, too? Well, if they stay behind you or next to you, you're okay. But you can't have dogs in the front and then one in the back. They have to be side by side. Yeah, it's a pack. A pack, yeah, yeah. I'm learning more in 30 minutes than I have in 30 years, brother, to tell you the truth, right now. That's what happens when you get older and you use time wisely. Right, right. You can teach people in three minutes what they need to know, you know, so they don't skip 30 years. Relax the arm. This way, this way. Good boy. You're a good boy, Duke. Good boy. You're so calm right here, huh? So, that's exercise discipline. What we did was, first of all, to block the mind from fighting, all right? And so, a stranger comes and immediately assess and evaluate that, right? And then he's, oh ----, fight is not allowed. What is allowed? Ignore, calm surrender, which is something that you don't ask the brain often. Right, right, right, right. Because your priority is to love them, not to lead them. So, now you need to lead them and then love them. Love them after they follow you, right? So, you can accomplish this. I love it, man. Since I've had them, as long as it's Christmas time, we haven't been having them with no dogs. Isolation. Maximum security, isolation. Right, right. Right now you're trying to fight the donkey, loco. When they're in a fight state of mind, they fight anything. Okay, okay. Anything, anything. Chickens, rabbits, everything. I told you that donkey has a back kick that you don't want to get hit with. They turn into a killer. Right. Right? So, you don't mind the competitive or the dominant because in competition, they don't kill each other. It's when the predatorial side opens up, right? But these guys, I only let them compete. I don't let them dominate each other. Certainly not what he was trying to do. That's it. A human can compete, dominate, or kill. See that? So, it's good to be competitive. It's good at one point to take the dominant position, that's leadership. But it's never good to kill because you have to pay for that soul. You gotta pay for it. If you don't pay for it, your family will pay for it. That's what karma. Right? So, only good karma, not bad karma. I mean, the fact that you save him 10 minutes before, you just saved his life. How lucky was I? But look, how can you put water on his feet? He was lucky. How beautiful was he? 10 million dogs die every year. Come on, I know. 10 million. It's so sad. 10 million. More humans though. That's my heart. More humans die every year. But we're so used to it. No. That we need to practice a good heart with somebody else. And so, human chooses a dog. But we should be in the business of saving lives. All the time, brother. You know? I do rides for the animals. Of course, they pay the ride, but then they bring food, too. And blankets all the time, you know what I'm saying? They save my life, brother. Yeah. That's how you gotta save theirs. They save my life, right? Or they make my life who I became. Mine saved my life. Yeah, literally. Yeah, yeah. It's easy to love them. But it's fun to lead them. I'm gonna have more fun now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's fun, because you can take them everywhere. When you just love them, you say, I can't go to the beach because my dog is gonna kill everybody. That's what we do at nighttime, Cardinal. You know what our favorite pastime is? I get in my troca, and we get all the dogs, and we take them for rides. Namaste with the windows down. That's what we do. How do I go? Cruise. That's what we do, brother. Just cruising. And they love it, man. Yeah, of course. They love to go somewhere. Yeah. You know, the human has cars, so it's like, I guess this is how we're living. We go down all the windows, and there they are, you know? Chilling. Relax the arm. There you go. It's okay, Duke, it's okay. So now you gotta do some weight, Duke. You're out of shape. We thought you were buffed. We thought he was buffed. Well, it's, you know, the Frenchies. But how's it feel, this? This is good. I love this. Would it be too soon to try this tonight with my dogs? You want three? No. Just give them away? Just do one dog at a time. One at a time? Yeah, because you're not familiar to doing this, and so with your dogs, you have an emotional disposition. My dogs, you don't know them. You love dogs, but you don't love my dogs yet. You see, it's easier for you to just do this. Right, right, right, right. In the middle. Claim your spot. Claim your position. Remember, claim the land, claim the position. Push them away, pull them away if I have to. Well, just claim in the space. You're not pushing them. Your energy alone pushed them away. That's when you claim the spot. Relax the arm. Somebody have to remind you to relax the arm. I'm always tense, I've always been that way. He's hot. So once they're hot, they're not looking to fight, they're looking to cool. And so those little moments, those are perfect time to drop the leash and just let him have a freedom because his level of energy is at zero. You need energy to fight. You can't fight when you're hot or when you're tired. You see it? You can block if he's going towards the animals. There he goes. So the humans. He wants to just shade. He wants shade now. Just bring the leash here. Grab it, Gaetano, and bring him here because we want him to chill here. Dookie, Dook, Dook. There you go. Come on, Dook. Right here, come on, Dook. Right there, right there. Drop the leash. There you go. Yeah, he's looking for a place to. Sit, Dook, sit. Dook, sit. Sit. There you go. Good boy, Dook. There you go. Now, he has to learn to chill right here. With me? Yeah, because for safety purposes, he can't go too far because then the environment can also influence him to do the wrong thing, right? So then why would he go with me right now if he's so tired? Oh, because he doesn't have rules, bans, and limitations. Right, okay. Yeah. Only leaders do that. Lovers don't do it. The energy of love does not create rules, bans, and limitations. The energy of love nurtures what is already there. Love is to nurture. Love is not to lead. Tell me what jail leads with love. None of them. Tell me what Hollywood person leads with love. None of them. They have to lead. Tell me what politician. I mean, it would be nice. At one point, they have love for the people. So right now, a stranger is blocking him. It's really good because for social skills, it's good that he takes directions from other people that keep your dog safe, right? Because where I'm from, the lady three houses away from our house, you know, go home. And they go. And they go home. So the community, it takes a village to raise a child. This is, it takes a community to raise a dog. But he takes him for a good walk every day. It's almost like a three quarters of a mile walk every day where we live at, you know? Uphill, downhill. Yeah, but when he's in front of you, he's scouting. Yeah, no, it's true, it's true. He's always pulling, man. Yeah, he's pulling and scouting. Yeah, and so that is not a good walk because it's not a peaceful walk. You want to do peaceful walks. What we did is a peaceful walk. Let's say one day you want to put a stroller. You grab it with his hand and the dog still follow the stroller. And then you make the stroller, the baby in the stroller, the pack leader. That's how people should be introducing their babies to the dog, not like this. You know, first is you hold the baby and then the dog has to give you a circle. They have to give you distance. Then they have to bow down to the baby. And so when they do that ritual, they're showing respect to the baby versus when people go, here's your baby brother. Right, right, right. So you're feeding this thing into the, some dogs can run away, some dogs can do that. You know, some dogs can ignore it. They get jealous too, no? No. Oh, they don't get jealous? That concept is because humans are using the priority. You know, oh, I don't want, most of the time the dog is before the human, right? So then the person feels bad that the human is going to come in and they have to behave like a normal human being, right? The baby is priority. And so, oh my God, I have to give affection to the dog so he doesn't feel jealous. That's created by the human. Why would a dog feel jealous when it's a new member to the pack? The bigger the pack, the better. Really? Yeah. Is that the way they think? Yeah. They love the pack. They don't love the one thing. They love the pack. So right there, you find the cool spot while the dogs are here. You're just pulling out. Yeah, pulling out. That's why I say, trap the leash. You know, why? Because I know that the mind is going to do that. See, all dogs do the same. Obviously, your dog is different because I never work on it. But as soon as I see the same signals, okay, he's about to do that. Yeah, you called it. You see it? Yeah. You gotta call it. You said he did. Yeah, and so that is a moment where, okay, that feels good. That when a dog is not trying to fight the dogs, that's the energy I want. And that's what goes into your memory. So you start creating more of that trust energy. When they're walking next to you, when they're away from you, then the dog learned that what you want is a trust energy that is led by respect. And then you love, trust, respect, love. That's what the big sign over there is. Trust, respect, love. That's beautiful, man. Not because you love somebody, you trust them. No, no, no, no. You see what I mean? No, no, no, we know that. You see? We know that, yeah. So not because the dog loves you, he trusts you or respects you. Not because you trust somebody, you love them. I mean, by the way. There you go, yeah, yeah. This is a good workout for him. He's gonna recover, blah, blah, blah. No, what it is that he walks in very early in the morning so it's not so hot, you know what I mean? Or in the evening time, you know what I mean? Just to make him more comfortable. Yeah. And sometimes when you don't have enough time, do it in a little bit hot because the heat challenges like the cold plunge. You don't have to be there in the cold plunge 30 minutes. With three minutes, you have plenty of challenge. Right, right, right. Oh, wow. You see what I mean? So the heat is also a tool, right? And you can use mother nature to accelerate the challenge process. It's natural, simple, profound. Just go after, okay, what do I need to do? Natural stuff, simple things, profound things. Profound is your spirit. Natural is your instinct. And simple is to love. Natural, simple, profound. Just do things that are in that category. Yeah, so they didn't get tired because they're used to it, okay. That's right. That's what it is, huh? Yeah. We're from the desert. We're not from the hood, man. We're from the desert. This is perfect because one of the things that I like to do is I like to get them super tired and then I expose them to the area they normally fixate and then I start interrupting them. So every time they fixate, I interrupt them. And so I stop the mind for focusing. You see it? But I don't have to do hard because the body is so soft that with a little bit of that, I interrupt the fixation. And then they learn. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying, don't look at the animal. I'm just saying, don't look at him that way. Don't look at him that way, don't give him the hard look. Yeah, right? So what you taught me now with the duke, I'm gonna go home and teach Mia what you taught me with him. Yeah. This is beautiful. And it wasn't that hard, you know? Now, this is something that everybody can learn really fast. Right. This is faster than learning English or faster than learning Spanish. You know what I'm saying? It's just so- This is so simple. It's just how you train the mind so fast. Yeah, that's it. But we're ready. So this way you can position your family okay, you over there stay in the back. And if he looks at this way, tap him, right? And then he sees not only you don't want him to do that but the whole family, you know, is in agreement. So everybody, you know, pitches in, you know? Well, see, this is what really worries me. Okay, so what happens? There, there you go. That was it. That was a tap. Oh, you see that Rocco? That was a tap. We need to do that, you heard? And it's better if they don't see you doing it. So they feel this because they look at the animal something happens in the back. So they don't rationalize. They don't say, oh, you know, the human did it. No, they have to see you to know you did it. That's what the element of surprise is so important. Yeah. Oh man, this is, man, Jesus. My pleasure. Gracias, brother. My pleasure. You know, the whole thing was, you know we've had him raised since December and, and we separate him. Like the feed dogs have play time. Then he comes down, we sweep him around. We want him to get along. Yeah. But only a pack leader can make ---- happen. And I'm the pack leader. You have to, you have no choice. You're already paying for the food. So might as well take the position. See, now he's recovering. Now he's energy back. And then he goes back to his old habit. Yeah. So what I do for a living, I rehabilitate that, right? The aggression that dogs develop, you know, I get rid of it. Like, like if, if like when people go to jail and most of the time they've sent the aggressive ones, right? If they get rehabilitated, they will go back to come surrender, happy-go-lucky, calm, confident. So use your aggression for calm, confident, not for aggression. You see it? All right. So use it for good. So when people are aggressive, they use it for bad. But when people are calm, confident, they use it for good. They're both leaders, but one is angry and the other one is not. There you go. See? There you go. Boom. There you go. See? That's a, that's a girl telling your dog what to do. So then, and then he learns, oh, women or men tell me what to do. Right. Like I said, you don't have a personal protection dog and then a dog that needs to defend anything. You have a friendship. No, no. I use the bark. I'll protect them. You know what I'm talking about? The bark, I'll protect the house. You know what I'm saying? Just put a picture of you outside and people will go, ----. Oh, ----. So what do you learn today? I learned today that I'm the pack leader. Yeah. We're running a pack, but I'm the pack leader. And I'm the one that controls how they're going to act. You know what I'm saying? I was too, I mean, I'm always going to love them. I'm always going to be nice, but I got to be more firm now. And Cesar, thank you so much for that, man. I mean, like I said, I learned more in 30 minutes than I did in 30 years with my dogs. You know what I mean? And I'm going to be a better pack leader. That's right. I'm going to be a better pack leader. Loyalty, leadership, love, life. That is the four L's. The animals, the farm animals are there. The new pack is here. And you got to understand, when we first got here, he went to go attack the donkey. He went to attack the donkey. Fear is your classic bulldozer. The donkey will kick you, bro. Get back. Yeah, there you go, right. And now he is over here with the pack. This is a good beginning. This is a good image to have in your mind. What's possible. People need to see it's possible, right? And then of course, nothing becomes permanent or actually accomplish the goal if we don't follow through. That's why homeworks are so important. So the follow through, agreement, commitment, follow through. See, the follow through is really where the homework is. You do this every day, every day to accomplish exactly what your goal, your dreams or your mission is. I got to tell you, Cesar, since December, when we first got him, this is the first time that he's been close to any dog. We have three dogs at home and we have to separate them. I've never seen him do this. So this is day one. So if you would have done this from day one, by now you would have like this. Nice to meet you, brother. Thank you for coming with your dad. Brother, thank you. Yeah, Emilio in the house, baby. Yes, sir. To Latinos! That's right.
