My business life takes a big chunk of time, but I still put exercise in my schedule. I'm up at 5 A.M. and get up and stretch and go for a run in Runyon Canyon with all five of my dogs.

Always walk out the door ahead of your dog when leaving the house. This will show your dog who is in the leadership role.

Love is leading. People think it has to be two different roles but it is the same.

Dogs do know how comfortable you are with yourself, how happy you are, how fearful you are, and what is missing inside of you.

Just being with dogs, I learned their ways and began to appreciate things from their point of view.

I used to be called 'a Mexican guy who can walk a pack of dogs.' Now the world calls me 'The Dog Whisperer'.

All dogs can become aggressive, but the difference between an aggressive Chihuahua and an aggressive pit bull is that the pit bull can do more damage. That's why it's important to make sure you are a hundred percent ready for the responsibility if you own a 'power' breed, like a pit bull, German shepherd, or Rottweiler.
