When I go and work with people, I never say, 'Your dog is changed for the rest of its life.' It's like a diet. You've got to maintain a discipline and ritual in your life to keep a certain figure.

On walks, make sure that your dog is not in front of you, pulling you down the street. Instead, keep your dog to your side or behind you. This will also demonstrate to your dog that you are the alpha figure.

Any time you're working in the world of taming animals, you're going to get hurt. But it's a rush that we get.

You don't always get the dog you want, but you get the dog that you need.

Birth, life, death is a cycle. And they're all beautiful, you celebrate all of them. Animals do grieve, but they move on. That's the lesson behind animals.

I wish my kid would act like my dog sometimes. My dog listens to me and does what I tell him to do.

The more you think you have to use physical force to control life, the less you control life.
