Yassssss - it is going to be fabulous and I cannot wait 🔥 Getting to work on a second season of #betterhumanbetterdog was such an honor! Getting to share it with my friend @k9behaviorcollege was amazing 💙 The team of people I got to work with every day was so incredibly talented. More importantly, to me, they were dedicated to the process. They listened and did whatever was necessary to set up the dogs and their humans for success. To have a whole crew of people be like minded and in agreement was a gift, and I am so grateful for it. Thank you @cesarsway for the incredible opportunity 🙏

This is why I want a dogs go to state of mind/way of being too be calm & agreeable or low level energy-happy go lucky & agreeable; so beautiful moments like these can happen. These dogs don't know exactly what is happening, but they do know this child has a clear intention & feels good about it. Therefore they want to connect with her. They are willing to follow her lead and participate in her activity. It really is precious, but also very meaningful 💙 just sayin

It's not just transformations at TCW Fundamentals Workshops. We have a s**t ton of fun as well 🤗 #tcw #trainingcesarsway #cesarsway #dpc #dogpsychology #dog

Day One of the TCW Fundamentals 1 Workshop is in the books! There have already been transformations in people & dogs. So grateful & honored to be on this journey with the students, fellow trainers, incredible support staff & of course Cesar 🙏🧡 Let's goooo day 2! #tcw #trainingcesarsway #cesarsway #dpc #dogpsychology #dog #grateful #inspired

Fulfilled, both Thano & I 😊 The ranch is so green & beautiful. I can't wait to see it after the rain we get tomorrow. Please 🙏 take the time to fulfill yourselves. You DESERVE it...tell em Heather said so 🧡 The more fulfilled you are, the more you will be able to fulfill your dog. If your well is empty, you can't give anyone or anything else a drink 😉

Fulfillment! It is essential for you. It is essential for your dog. Discover what fulfills you and allow yourself to experience it. Do the same for your dog. It does not have to be something extravagant, and often times it isn't. I have been working 7 days a week, often 10-14 hour days, for awhile. I love being a Consulting Producer for Better Human Better Dog and The Director of Training for Halo, but I was definitely ready for a day off! One of my absolute favorite things about living in California, is having the ability to go to the beach, mountains behind me, listen to the ocean waves, watch a sunset, and see the first stars in the night sky. Adding my sweet boy Biscuit to that equation, just makes the experience even more special. I wish I could do this every night, but if I could, maybe it would not be as special. Just knowing that I can have the experience puts a smile on my face and lights me up from the inside out. I don't NEED it every day. Just knowing the experience is there for me to enjoy, is enough. I know I can be fulfilled, and that gives me balance. Biscuit loves to walk. It does not have to be a super long walk. He just likes to be out and about experiencing the world. I make sure the walk is structured, so he is getting both mental & physical exercise/fulfillment. I love throwing in some urban agility, placework, recall, tricks, obedience, & even off leash walking when it is safe. Are there days when I can't walk Biscuit? Yes! But, I find a way to still fulfill him in some way. Working breeds especially need to be fulfilled. Do you have a herding dog who is nipping? Find a way for the dog to fulfill it's natural & instinctual behavior. Often times we make dogs wrong for being themselves...who WE as humans...bred them to be. We only suppress their behavior, instead of giving them a healthy way to express it. Knowing when they can use their instinctual skill set and when they can't, gives them understanding, peace of mind, & balance. F

This one has me totally teary eyed and nostalgic this morning. When I would go home to Michigan to visit family, my neice @karsynkastl14 & nephew @kalebkastl Would run up to me at the airport and give me the biggest most sweetest hugs ever❣ Even running right by security. It was the absolute best 🥰 They are 16 & 14 now and they still greet me at the airport with the best hugs...and it is still...and always will be the best part of my trip 🧡 Kasryn & Kaleb, even when you are in your 50s & I am in my 80s, please greet me at the airport with those priceless hugs! I love you more than any words can describe 😘 *** 🙏 @goodnews_movement Cuteness alert! She checked with the guard first then it was auntie time. 😊 #auntie #family #love #heart #grateful #michigan #priceless

I LOVE this @thedodo post! It features two of my favorite animals 🧡 The capacity of dogs to make connections is so beautiful. If we pay attention, they can teach us how to be a true friend and love life 🧡 I know I am EXPONENTIALLY a better person because of the work I do with dogs and their people 💯 *** 40-year-old wild dolphin @jojothedolphin has been best friends with his favorite dog @zyzzraham for almost a decade — watch him introduce his tiny baby dolphin to him too 😍💙 (🐬: special thanks to @waketowaketc)

This is where I spent the last two weeks. *** I had the absolute pleasure of teaching and learning from some pretty incredible students, fellow trainers, support staff, dogs and of course Cesar. The willingness of each and every person to open up and be vulnerable in order to move past obstacles that have been blocking them from achieving the life they want with their dogs, and also just in general, was incredibly inspiring🔥 *** I am home now and am feeling so very grateful for the opportunity to make such deep connections with people. *** Thank you @cesarsway & @trainingcesarsway for trusting me and giving me this life changing opportunity🙏 I can't believe we have been working together since 2013! 8 years!! Time does truly fly when you are having fun 😊 *** Thank you to all of the remarkable students. Please always remember, you are so very deserving of pursuing your passions and living your dreams. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me be a part of your life changing journies 🧡 *** To my fellow trainers and the incredible support staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support. I really enjoy collaborating with all of you to create Better Humans, Better Dogs, Better Planet 💯 *** Last but definitely not least, thank you to the precious dogs, and the humans who rescue & foster them @outtathecage @hitlivingfoundation @queensbeststumpydogrescue Without you, none of this would be possible. 🎥 @art.ortiz @dogfitdallas 🔥🔥🔥

What an honor, privilege, and a joy it was to work with Cesar and the amazing team that made this show possible 💯 Thank you @cesarsway for having faith in me and giving me such an incredible opportunity 🙏 I am so excited! It is only 2 weeks away. Reposted from @cesarsway Be one with your pack. ❤️ if you agree. Cesar Millan: #BetterHumanBetterDog Premieres Friday, July 30 at 9/8c on @NatGeoTV

What is love/affection to a dog? Simple, anything they need/want in any given moment. This means we can give love/affection to our dogs all day long, whether we make it a conscious choice is entirely up to us. The act of feeding and giving water to our dogs is an act of love/affection. It is a very basic primal need, but also a very important one. One that they used to have to work for and is directly linked to survival. Animals are hard wired to do whatever they need to survive, and since food and water directly relate to that survival, they are high value resources. Anything associated with these resources is going to be very important to a dog. If you associate excitement, tension, anxiousness, a scarcity mindset, impatience, and/or entitlement with food and water, you are essentially telling your dog this is the mindset you want them to be in to get get anything they need/want (affection). If you associate a calm, agreeable, happy-go-lucky state of mind with food and water, you are essentially telling your dog this is the mindset you want them to be in to get get anything they need/want (affection). Now imagine you set this association every time you give food and water to your dog. This means you are solidifying a mindset and behavior habit every single day and least once a day. You are educating your dog, perhaps unconsciously, but you are educating them. The longer you educate them in this manner, the higher the level of education/degree they receive. Before you know it, your dog will have a PHD in whatever state of mind you are rewarding or whatever state of mind you are literally feeding in this example. YOU educated them, so if they embody this state of mind in any other area of their life, it is thanks to you and your teaching. It is not fair for you to get upset with your dog for getting excited and jumping on people when you were the one to teach them an excited mind gets them everything they need/want. It is not fair for you to get upset with your dog

This my friend Anne and her son River. River is so lucky to have such a wonderful Mom and I am so blessed to have her as a friend. I am sharing Anne's Mother's Day message because her heartfelt words resonated with me and I think it is an important message to get out there Anne. Thanks for letting me share this Anne. Love ya 🧡🙏 #Repost @anne.river.dogs (@get_repost) ・・・ Mother’s Day... a day celebrated by most and dreaded by many.⁣ ⁣ I think it’s a wonderful way to honor our mothers and celebrate them for who they are and all they’ve done for us. Mothers are incredible. The world would be nothing without mothers. From birthing children to nurturing them, helping them become adults to being a friend, adviser, manager... mothers do it all.⁣ ⁣ I am lucky that I had my fabulous mom as a child. I am lucky that I still have her in my life at this point and that we have both an amazing mother-daughter relationship and friendship. I am lucky that I am a mom myself now which is something I’ve always wanted to be. I am very grateful for it all, and I don’t take any of it for granted.⁣ ⁣ At the same time I also know that there are many out there who don’t look forward to Mother’s Day. Those that have lost a mother, those that want nothing more than to be a mother but are struggling (that was me), those that have lost a child, those that didn’t have a great mother or no mother at all, those that have a bitter relationship with their mother, those that never wanted to be a mother and people keep questioning that decision, those that feel like they’re a bad mother.⁣ ⁣ I’ve always known that there’s both good and bad but have recently come to understand it better that there’s no positive without a negative (thanks, Linn!). When I was struggling to become a mother all I saw was everyone else get pregnant and that made me sad. That was the negative. The positive was that other women became mothers and that’s so wonderful. I was also happy for them. I now am a mother but also feel fo

@tonybakercomedy is a genius! I love his stuff but this recent one is so fantastic I just had to repost. @tonybakercomedy thanks for providing me with laughs every day, especially now. Tje6 are priceless 💕🙏 #TonyBakerComedy #TonyBakerVO

Watch the whole video @nasa * I really wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger. I decided I was going to join the navy to become a fighter pilot and then an astronaut. Back then there were more opportunities to be a fighter pilot in the navy. Any way then I found out I could not be a fighter pilot because I have horrible vision and have to wear contacts.

I ADORE all of these incredible women. They are each beautiful from the inside out. Even when my life is at its darkest, they can always help me find the light. Spending time with them feeds my soul 🧡 Having kick ass, strong, determined, dedicated, inspiring, crazy talented, motivating, supportive, big-hearted women in my life, that I get to call friends, is one of the most cherished gifts the universe has given me. I will celebrate each and every one of you to the ends of time. @brandyfriedlanderphotography @trotsdogs @packlife_la @pasadenapaws @caninealpha #womensupportingwomen #cherish #grateful #love #liveyourbestlife #friends #strongwomen #beautiful #celebrate #gifts #wonderwomen @shethority @theabbeyweho

I am so grateful for this little guy! Every day Biscuit reminds me that it is a new day and it is a day to celebrate simply being alive. He allows me to be mindful and present in the moment. Find that ray of sunshine and bask in it. Our dogs teach us so much if we are willing to listen and learn.
