    I LOVE that Cesar never laughed or acted like he was being irrational or made fun of his fear. Making fun of people's fear doesn't help them.

      The fear isn't irrational. Especially since, historically; black people's fear of dogs has been passed down from generation to generation. Slave owners used dogs to catch escaping slaves. Law Enforcement used dogs to attack peaceful Black protestors during the 60s.
      I was bitten 6 times before I was 10years because of irresponsible dog owners and some neglectful parents.
      I don't hate dogs but I don't trust those mofos until they prove to me that they're cool. If they have chill energy then I will pet them and play catch but at first meeting I don't even interact with them.

      Irrational? It's not irrational at all.
      If this man's experiences with dogs are little and have only been negative, how is it wrong for him to be afraid? A lot of us are used to dogs and interact with them, but this man obviously isn't.
      If you saw a snake handler with something like a python and he told you to come up and hold it, you telling me you wouldn't be even slightly afraid?
      That being said, at least your comment isn't making fun of the interviewer like other jackasses...

      Irrational isnt the word. To you or me, we know Junior wont hurt him. But in his mind, dogs are untrustworthy. It will take time and alot of experience with dogs to form new memories and positive reinforcment. It may never completly overtake his fear of dogs, but it also might if he kept practice.
      However, Im not so sure this gentlemen's goal is to get over his fear beyond this video segment.

      I'm not insulting the guy or saying he's irrational. That wasn't my intention and I apologize to anyone who took it that way and was offended. I meant it more like...Cesar isn't afraid of dogs. So to him the fear could be seen as irrational to him. But he didn't make fun of the man or laugh at any point. He took him seriously the whole time. Everyone's fear is valid. I've just seen a lot of people laugh at others who are afraid of things like dogs or bugs but Cesar didn't do that. That's the point I'm trying to make.

      @@RubyWorthington Hello, I adopted my dog, Pantxo, around nine years ago. I found out quite fast that some of my friends had fear of dogs, specially big ones like my baby (54kg-110 pounds Pitbull, Bulldog, Boxer mix) so I had to find ways to introduce them with both of them being safe and comfortable.
      What I learned is that you need to find a good introduction moment for both of you. You can't bring a nervous and high energy dog to meet an even more nervous person, but you can't also bring a nervous and scared person to a dog without the dog already being in a state of mind that is submissive or relaxed. So try to find a dog trainer or vet or someone you know that has a really well behaved dog, someone who understands how it works and preferably knows you, and talk about it with them. Let them help you. In my experience, dogs tend to behave better in those type of introductions than humans do, so try to keep yourself as much calm and relaxed as you can, if you need help with it, talk with the owner, they will help you. Dogs tend to pay more attention to the owner than the new person anyway, specially if they see you like the leader of the pack. Find your best state of mind possible and if you don't think you're ready, don't rush it.
      What helped us the most was go out for walks together. You don't need to talk, touch or interact that much with the dog until both of you get used to each other presence, and then, if the owner finds you both to be in a good state of mind, you can introduce yourself. If not, don't worry, you can repeat it and the next time it will be easier for both of you. Maybe you find it difficult to walk with a dog that you don't know or you're scared of, in that case maybe it's better if the dog is already in a low energy level or relaxed. Maybe find a breed of dog that don't scare you as much or that you feel more comfortable around.
      I highly recommend you to give it a try. It's unfortunately quite a common fear and you can both learn and enjoy so much from each other. But don't rush it, don't push yourself too hard or the dog will not vibe with your energy.
      I hope this helped, feel free to reply if you need more help or if you just want to talk about it. I'm sure we can find a way to help you overcome your fear or atleast make it easier =)

      Yup. Honestly I think Cesar is a great person and would still do this for free. But he needs to live and eat like the rest of us. The fact he can get paid by the networks and news sites for doing what he loves means he can devote more time to it and help more people.

    • @holohulolo
      @holohulolo 8 лет назад +8

      WonderfulAkari I'm all for people earning more and more money, even when they have enough, they have the right to do so.
      "...he needs to live and eat like the rest of us."
      I'm pretty sure he has more than enough to just live and eat. I believe he would do it for less, or even free, because he already has more than enough to live by.
      I'm guessing if he were eking out a living, he would've charged too. That's when the,"...he needs to live and eat like the rest of us." applies.
      Let's not romanticise successful people as being selfless, generous and generally better than other people. Billionaires can donate $100k, but let's not forget the people who donated $5 when they only have $20.

    • @WonderfulAkari
      @WonderfulAkari 8 лет назад +3

      Okay so where would his income come from if he did this for free? If he did this as charity he would do less of it in order to take on a job so he could have an income. Meaning instead of helping a lot of people he is only helping some. If he can get paid for doing this he can devote more time to it. I'm not praising him for being finacialy successful I'm praising him for doing good. Are you saying doctors and therapists who are paid to vastly change other people's lives shouldn't be praised for pursueing a profession that aids people just because they can also make money? Being finacoally successful and making more money than you isn't a sin, also do you keep tabs on what he does with his money? For all you know he does donate it. I'd rather be quick to praise then quick to cast doubt.

    • @holohulolo
      @holohulolo 8 лет назад +2

      WonderfulAkari We are talking about this one particular interview. Of course he has other income, he made a show, he own his own shop. Did you think doing interviews is the only way he get money? His show was very successful, he must've gotten a lot of money from that too. The way you say it sounds like this interview is so significant for him to eat and live. It's not. I'm pretty sure with the success he had in his past show he has accumulated enough wealth, and he invested it in owning his own pet shop.
      Don't twist my words, I didn't say don't praise him for doing good. Besides, did you not read my comment, the first thing I mentioned is, "I'm all for people earning more and more money, even when they have enough, they have the right to do so. "
      I never said it's not good or it's a sin or evil to earn more money when you already have enough. I said the exact opposite.
      The reason why I was saying what I was saying, is because people tend to idolise or romanticise celebrities or well known successful people when they do some charity or good deed, that it tends to make people think a little less about themselves because they are not like that.
      Bill Gates donating hundreds of millions of dollars is great, it's very generous of him, but if you think of the percentage of his total net worth that's almost like someone who has a net worth of $10k donating $10.
      Sure the $100m dollar, is worth more and can do more good, but the person donating $10 is just as generous considering the relative ration to his total net worth. Not to mention that 10$ is worth more to the person, because Bill Gates is so rich, that even if he gives up 90% of his wealth he's doing a lot better than just to live and eat, but not the other guy who has only 10k
      You may not be giving people free advice on on overcoming fear of dog on TV or something to that scale, but maybe you thought a child from a non English speaking country the alphabets, you're just as kind and generous.
      I'm not doubting his sincerity, I'm saying it's easier to give when you have more.

    Cesar Millan is in my opinion the nearest thing to the Buddha we have on television. He understands people as well as he does dogs. He reads his new clients(people) very quickly, and always with empathy, sometimes he is even over-effected by the feelings of others, but he knows how to absorb them and then find a way through. A marvellous man. This stuff outranks any amount of psychology theory.

    So, if I'm correct, the problem isn't usually dogs when someone is afraid of dogs. It's not the dogs fault either though. It's the dog's owner who is not correcting excited, nervous, and anxious behavior when faced with meeting people, and so teaching the dogs that it's alright to act the way they are.

    I used to be so terrified of dogs. I thought that every dog who comes up to me wants to bite me. I never understood dog's body languages and was afraid of walking alone in the street with dogs. Then I got a puppy to help me with my phobia and was scared to hold it at first. Then I started to understand a dog's behavior and the reason behind their behavior. Now I am not scared of any dogs no matter how big they are & in fact I've turned into a dog lover. Anyone who has fear of dogs should really try to have some closure with dogs instead of running away.

    I can testify to the truthfulness of this process. After being afraid of dogs for decades, my sister got a Rottweiler and trained her to be very stable. Chloe, the Rottie, would see me afraid and would give me looks like saying, "why are you scared?" When I could live all my fears with Chloe without any bad reaction from her part, my brain created new memories and now I can love dogs like never before. From time to time, I still get reactive and scared, but I am 99% better. Thanks to everyone who made this show possible.

    When I was a very little girl I was viciously torn up by a doberman pinscher. It's an experience that will never forget and it was the grace of God that my uncle noticed and got the dog off me. I don't have a fear of dogs though and I never really did. I hear people with stories like mine and I completely understand their fears. I am sure that the only reason I do not fear dogs after that traumatic experience is that my family still had all sorts of dogs in my life growing up. Even today I have a great love of my furbabies 💕 exposure will help this man out. He should get a dog to love and his fear of dogs will diminish naturally.

      @@tallisinwonderland4724 I am so sorry this happened to you. Yes I too have always been gentle with animals and I did nothing to provoke the dog that attacked me. This is just my thoughts but I do believe there is truth to this observation of mine, I do believe that some dogs are just born with something seriously wrong with them. Something genetic that doesn't go right. There are humans born like this too i.e. Jeffrey Dommer. I am okay with humanly putting down any dog that can not properly conduct themselves as I feel they are a strain and of no use. I wish we would start doing the same with these useless humans as well. Unfortunately we are stuck with the human kind though.

    I commend Lee Hawkins for his openness about his fear of dogs. I grew up terrified of dogs, also because of my father, a mailman that was himself scared of dogs. I remember him yelling and screaming at me for being scared of dogs. I have been treated horribly over the years by people who refuse to understand the absolute terror I would feel.
    Caesar Milan is a breath of fresh air and has helped my understanding of dogs tremendously. A small runt of the litter that nobody wanted also helped me tremendously. His name was Cricket, a Bichon & Poodle mix, and he changed my life. I grieve the years I was terrified of all the lovely creatures that I am now so fond of. Dogs are really amazing. I am still terrified of some breeds, like Pitbulls, but I try.
    Thank you Caesar, Daddy (RIP❤️) & Junior(RIP❤️). ❣️

    • @TheSamuraiGoomba
      @TheSamuraiGoomba 6 лет назад +14

      It's understandable to avoid dogs that are not being controlled. When I walk my dog and I see a strange dog in a yard or on a leash, if I think that dog is not in a safe or controlled mindset, I just avoid it. I'm not going to expose my dog, who is behaving, to a dog that might be aggressive and not properly handled by the owner.
      I think it's also important to ask people about their dogs before you approach. When someone says their dog is fearful of strangers or standoffish, always respect that.

      Running is one of the worst things you can do. It just triggers their desire to chase you. Even really friendly dogs... when I run to encourage my dogs to play tag with me. So even if they aren't thinking like a predator if a friend took off running they would think it was a game of tag and take off after them. Confronting is safer in most cases unless they are actually trained to attack.

I told them the next time, I will club his fuckin' ass since nobody cares enough to cage him while guests who normally aren't in your home stop by.

      You are a troll looking to start a fight. If you were not a troll you would not want to kill the dog.

      Beerrunner81 dude relax. Pick a fight? Kill a dog? So much for open dialogue. Carry on.

      That's perfect cuz it's important for you to decide when to stop playing and interacting with dogs. Even dogs need their own me time, just like humans.

    Beautiful. The absolute honesty of the interviewer, was striking to me. I really appreciate his willingness to speak the truth about his serious and deep fear of dogs. Bravo sir! Bravo! Certainly you reached some human who sincerely experiences the same fear of dogs, and desire to overcome that fear. Very well done.

    Any kind of dog is adorable! I find Cesar's daddy pit just adorable (RIP) cuz he's always so calm & obedient. Shame on idiots who use them for so-called "sports"! Running away from a dog is the worst you can do. Try to remain calm backing away slowly. Also dont hesitate around a dog- they'll look @ you weirdly. They just want love & if theyre jumpy & aggressive, NEVER blame the dog but his/her owner! The poor dog may just need excercise. They are big (or huge lol) puppies that deserve love & attention.

      NOW THATS insane! Put down? Humans need to be put down for overbreeding like infested smelly roaches & breeding the innocent animals.
      Sounds like you're bragging your stupidity to everyone.
