Summary

Today, Michael welcomes Cesar Millan. Recognized as the Emmy-nominated host of “The Dog Whisperer” series, and as the current host of the top-rated “Better Human Better Dog,” Cesar is a household name in the world of dog training and rehabilitation. In 1998, Cesar established his Dog Psychology Center. Covering 43 acres, this facility has a pool for therapy, a dog park, an agility course, and a variety of walking trails, offering visitors a calm, nature-filled backdrop to allow focus and inspire balance. He also founded The Cesar Millan Foundation which works with organizations dedicated to animal welfare. In 2023, Cesar launched his now-popular podcast, “Better Humans, Better Planet”. 

Highlights from Cesar and Michael’s insightful conversation include:

-How watching Lassie and Rin Tin Tin on TV as a kid in Sinaloa, Mexico led Cesar to think that dogs were magical, thus sparking his interest in them 

-When Cesar’s initial desire to become a veterinarian shifted after hearing his inner voice say, “I want to become the best dog trainer,” putting him on his path 

-Cesar’s inspiring journey from an unhoused immigrant in Los Angeles who started as a dog groomer to becoming a kennel worker, dog walker, and dog rehabilitator whose successful methods earned him coverage in the LA Times and ultimately led to his popular TV show, The Dog Whisperer

-The influence of Cesar’s spirituality on his work with animals and their owners, and how animals’ spiritual balance affects their health and behavior

-The core principles of successful dog training and why people should stop humanizing their dogs and instead, learn to lead them

-How Cesar helped Oprah’s dogs; the wonderful work of the Dog Psychology Center and The Cesar Millan Foundation; Cesar’s current show, Better Human, Better Dog; and so much more!     

Next, Michael leads a meditation on the state of expanded awareness.
