HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT DOG FOR YOU! BY CESAR MILLAN!

[@maryapatterson]

This should be made into a poster and placed in every dog shelter. Then all the staff should be trained. The shelters are overflowing and people are still picking dogs because they look good!

[@arneb3818]

I have been involved in German Shepherd rescue for over twenty years. Too many people have dogs and do little training and do not understand what they need, especially in terms of providing discipline and leadership.

[@lilylin1805]

@@arneb3818 So many people think that dogs are stupid whereas, in reality, they are the stupid ones! They don't understand dogs and do not provide their dog leadership. There should be a law that all those who want to adopt a dog should receive training so that they understand their dog(s)!

[@arneb3818]

@s1lo To locate a local German Shepherd rescue group, I recommend doing an internet search. Search using your local town’s name and German Shepherd. See what comes up. If nothing is found, list other local cities and try again. Good luck.

[@m.denonsens]

And big posters in the lobby and adopting areas for the prospective pet parents!

[@maryapatterson]

If you put a good training package together. Each potential adopter could do a tick list sheet. So you would ask questions in terms of size of dog, Potential breed, function of dog, age of dog, then energies, etc etc which would hopefully match you up with a couple of ideal dogs. Now of course there are going to be errors and not fool proof. If you adopt a child, the rules are very strict. You have to visits etc etc We know cats and dogs have their own personalities. Yet you can literally walk into shelter and literally walk out with an animal you know very little about.

I love how he doesn't talk about what breed is best for you but what temperment or dog level is right for you😍

[@electradollheart]

The right thing to teach to people who are planning to have a dog. ❤️

[@fungamesonly6521]

But this is wrong. If I am allergic to dogs, it's better not to have a golden retriever. If I can't afford to feed a St. Bernard but can afford a poodle, then I will get the poodle. Breeds DO matter.

I have two huskies at first I thought I couldn't handle them because of their energy. They're both happy go lucky and have a lot of energy. instead of complaining about them I adapted to them and now they help me stay fit.

[@mannycalavera2335]

Same! A tired dog is a happy dog. If your dog is high energy for example, consider jogging, hiking and getting out the house more. You can't exactly expect a high energy dog to "chill". But you can, instead, take a step in their direction and it is likely to be a healthy one.

[@shavaunaronan3188]

Excellent video! My dog of choice was a Shitz-U who I absolutely adore. I am quite active and was attacked from behind while running alone. I didn't run for 2 years. I heard about a large black male working line GSD that was going to be put down and without hesitation said I would take him home. I was his third home. He is highly intelligent, fearful of nothing, quite protective but very stable in his disposition. I did hire a trainer, wish I could have had Cesar! This was the dog I was meant to have, we are perfectly matched. He is active and because of him I am back running again with no fear of being attacked. People may not respect me but they do respect my GSD.

[@jeffreychapfiwa599]

When I was 9 years old my Grandma's dog gave birth to 8 puppies and my parents picked one for me. I remember meeting him for the first time and he just ran to me all happy and full of love so I named him Scooby because of his "happy go lucky" personality and brown fur. He was never violent just an abnormally happy and a clumsy fella😂, he'd literally wait for me till I came back from school everytime and I'd always play with him so much that I'd forget that I had home due the next day🤣. The best dog/best friend a kid could ask for. He died in 2009 cause of a venomous snake bite. I miss you bro🐕❤❤❤

[@justcallmpeter]

Fuck dude he died from a snake bite? Bad way to go. My dog died a week ago. He got attacked by another dog and died at the vet.

He sounds like he was awesome. My Aussie gave birth three weeks ago and we have a brown one in the litter called Scooby. He’s a little bit autistic but he’s so sweet. Came to this video because I can’t even choose ice cream flavors and now I have to pick one to keep out of nine puppies

That is a great video! Anyone wanting a dog needs to watch this. I know people who have gotten Australian Shepherds and live in tiny apartments and don’t walk their dogs. Then they get upset that the dog is having destructive behaviors. It’s not the dog’s fault, just the wrong situation for them both. 😔

[@freeanimals594]

I know exactly what you're saying about Aussies. It's one of the first dogs I had the pleasure of walking. After the walk we would play in the backyard and then a little in the house before I left. She was a bundle of energy.

[@Yosetime]

That is so true! Cesar had a client once who had a pitbull. Right away the female owner said "I don't like to walk him because I don't want to get tired". Red Flag there. Then she tells us that they live on an actual boat in the harbour! A boat! No yard, not place to go, no exercise. Huge red flag again. Then she says she picked the dog out at the shelter because he looked cute to her. OMG!! This couple should not have a pitbull! They were literally driving this dog crazy with frustration from his living environment alone. These people need NO dogs or a lap dog. I don't know what they were thinking forcing a dog like that to live on a boat, literally trapped in there 24 hours a day. It's so unnatural. People can be so narrow minded and selfish sometimes.

[@southernsass2937]

What part ppl just don't understand? 😢 This makes me furious. Also some will get a dog just for show.

[@erickmarquet]

That’s actually how I adopted my Aussie, it was with a family that never took him outside, the first year of his life he only knew his house and his garden! of course he became destructive and noisy. Now we do live in a flat but we exercise together for at least two hours and we are training for agility, he’s the best dog ever, the only thing he needed was exercise/job and leadership

[@baylee_baby_]

Back of the pack dogs definitely feed off your energy.

[@josiewoodrose7616]

I have found that the best thing you can do for what we used to call a "shy" dog is to be the leader and protector. For example, teach them to heel and know you go first. First out the door and in the lead when walking them. Letting them lead the way makes them think they have to protect you. Start off your puppy by holding the food bowl until they settle down, touch the food with your hands and then present it to the dog. Be their leader and they will be secure in your ability to protect both yourself and them.

[@kryki_cha6206]

Thanks to you, we picked the perfect dog for our first! I'd say she's medium-low energy, middle of the pack. She's always ready to go and do things, and has amazing endurance, but it doesn't take much to satisfy her. I feel like she matches me so well!!

We live in a city and socialize a lot and it's working well. But yes, he is not friends with everyone. I think more important is knowing what kind of dog you have and that they don't mean to act any certain way. They are always honest. And even a front of the pack dog can be sensitive. I think if I had met my dog's confidence with harshness/anger he would have lost trust in me quickly. He truly is a "worker" and best is to work together with him!

That is truly sad. After being raised with dogs and helping other people with dogs, helping train two Labs from the day they came home I finally got my own dog in my 60s. . I have always had good intuition around dogs to the point that people from time to time said I was a dog whisperer, many friends who had dogs said that their dog did things with me that nobody else could do. I just recently got my own dog, a rehomed Bernedoodle 15 months old, he had been well treated and had good manners and behaviour. I was interviewed and I interviewed the dog over two days. He told me who he was and I guess the owner figured out me and on the third day I took him home. He is a middle of the pack dog with a lot of intelligence, is very calm, not easily started, gentle, good towards people and animals and in moderately energetic and a quick learner. He is perfect in social settings. I am recovering from a knee injury and was at a point where I needed a lot of walking, he learned my gait and is a pleasure to walk, his owner was a runner, I ain't, in 2 weeks he knew the program. He gets an early morning ball play, a good workout for him, late morning he gets a walk and again in the evening. The walks can be 30 minutes to 60 minutes. I knew when I got him this would be our life. He has not disappointed me. He gives me love all day long.

My best dog ever was the runt. He was the perfect dog, just needed a little time to develop under a good owner. He shut off a german shepherd in full attack mode with one strike. Other dogs immediately respected him and he was always looking to make me proud. Was not afraid of thunder or fireworks etc.

[@DerekOfRivia]

Sure doesn't sound like the runt.

[@Anoiny]

@@DerekOfRivia dunno, but it seems that with the right owner runts can become almost front-of-the-pack types of dogs. But they'll likely be one-person dogs. My boy was described by the breeder as "last of the litter". The smallest. He outgrew the maximum height of the breed standard by 2 cm and was one of the best dogs ever. Muscular, beautiful, with great character and highly self sufficient. He was a total kitten mama and he naturally protected the small and the weak (kids, women, other small pets etc.). He naturally knew which animals are not to be harmed and which are (he hunted rodents and rats on our property). He was never the aggressor but always could put other dogs in their place. But he definitely was a sensitive dog. We jokingly called him "neurotic". He had some funny fears but with HIS person he put those fears aside. Don't underestimate the runts. But they need a really good owner.

Asks me to take the dog until she can return it to the people she got it from and all I see is a puppy that has not been worked with in anyway shape or form and after 2 days she comes and takes the dog and when the new owners takes the baby they say, " We thought it would be more out of control, she's very tame and knows a few commands. " 2 months ago my mom got a new puppy I went to check her puppy out and I suggested she get it checked for hearing lose cause that's a whole different level of training she will need to seek out. Well she did finally take the puppy to the vet, she is 3 lb's & deaf and last weekend I visited my mom and again she tried to get me to bring the puppy home and I declined.

My neighbors have a back of pack they don’t know how to manage. They let this dog bark it’s head off as soon it sees a person outside. Everything Cesar said describes it perfectly. They’ve let him become nervous, anxious, aggressive. He comes right up to the fence and starts barking at anyone who is outside trying to enjoy their own backyard in peace. When it starts barking they say stop! Stop! (Doesn’t listen) And then pick it up in their arms like a baby and go back inside. I thought I hated dogs for a long time until I met a calm dog that never barked. Then we became friends and she even slept on the couch with me! I realized it’s not that I don’t like dogs, I don’t like crazy dogs that always bark. Cesar is helping me realize it’s not the dog, it’s the owner’s leadership of the dog enabling it to be crazy

This is so stupid! Living on a farm does not cure badly behaved dogs. In fact, behaviour may escalate and that leads to a gunshot in many cases. You have to address the behaviour. Having the freedom to run loose on a farm when the dog has no idea how to behave is a death sentence. I wish Cesar could bring clarity to this mindset. He addressed it briefly in this video. But it needs a lot more clarity to help people make the right decision for their dogs sake.

Jag har aldrig ägt en hund, men älskar att se Cesars alla hans program . Han är en fantastisk hundpratare.

Lol I love all dogs I can go with any breeds but chiuahuahs has always been apart of my Grandma's family. I have chiuahuahs.

[@thingsthatmakemego-ooh]

I have a mid pack, shihtzu. She is the best girl. Happy and best friend, still like a funny puppy at 10. And I just love her ❤ I definitely chose well. She has my energy .

[@iartistdotme]

SOOOOO much information at one time - to learn and remember and then act upon. I need to watch many times to absorb! What is good source for learning the history of the breeds? (what they were bred for)

[@kimlavery4886]

Thank you for your wisdom Cesar and for being such an amazing ambassador for dogs 🐕

[@damianblonko2957]

I s got the runt and she has been amazing 17 weeks old no food agression social anxiety likes to socialize family friendly able to open feed or time feed shes amazing

[@tiad.9536]

I always pick back of the pack when I'd get my new service dog/working dog pups. My brand new puppy in training is completely different, he's head of the pack and a very big boy. I had the breeder pick him for me based on temperament and it just happened to be the biggest top puppy. My rough collie boy had a totally different mindset. So confident about everything, bomb proof personality. Extremely nurturing with everyone in our home.

[@rubypowell3959]

I’ve always had runts and they’ve always been the happiest loving little things

[@Tayjahbaby8371]

Great information bc most of us pick a dog bc its cute or we wanna rescue it or its a certain breed...

[@GeoEstes]

I had a border collie who was a low-energy, back-of-the-pack type. We got along great and hiked all over the place. She didn't much care for other dogs, but she loved people.

[@foppo100]

I'm surprised that Ceasar didn't mention that the majority of people would be better off with a bitch.Dogs are always on the look out.Bitches only twice a year when they are in season.

[@aravis_]

I am informing myself to how to pick the right puppy for me and this was really helpful as it’d be my first dog! Thanks for making this easy to understand, so that I don’t have to break my head over which furry friend to pick when I get to a litter!

[@SuzyQuzy926]

I have a German shepherd/ husky mix that used to be fine with other dogs and somebody brought his dog in heat for a couple weeks (dog park) and my dog's personality has completely changed. He's aggressive. My whole life style has changed. I thought he would go back to normal......this is his new normal and I can't socialize him anymore. I honestly don't know what to do. He's 7 and 110 pounds. A rescue that was not treated well. I've had him for 6 years. HELP CESAR!! Lol

[@arneb3818]

The most important thing a German Shepherd requires from an owner is leadership. A leader is firm, but fair and communicates using energy and body language far more than words. If your dog used to be fine with other dogs and isn’t any longer, you might need to consult with a professional. There are a couple other KZbin channels that you may want to check out: Robert Cabral and Upstate Canine Academy.

[@MairiVoorhees]

I really would have needed Cesar's help almost 4 years ago. 2017 I had to let my Greyhound Ben go. He was perfect, very calm and quiet and secure. A month after his death, I got Dodger a then 2,5-year-old Greyhound. He brought me to the brink of desperation. That puppy was terrified of everything. He would not allow me to touch him, would not stay in the same room and if I got to close he would pee himself. I really did not know how to handle it. I was very close to giving up on him. I had difficult dogs before, but those were all bordering on red-zone cases (and a different breed of course) Dodger is 6 now and is doing fine :D

[@SchuriTheShiba]

This video makes me realize how lucky we were that our personalities meshed so well with Schuri. All of this information is brand new to us! I suppose it wasn't all luck and more so the breeder matching Schuri's personality with ours, but this information is still amazing to know.

[@jasmineyew9239]

*Thank you for all these sensible advices*

[@brittanyrose6388]

The best dog I've ever owned was a mutt(lab beagle mix) she was the runt of the litter. I passed on her from our first encounter because she showed me no attention. But while I was looking at the others, she just randomly ran up to me and started loving on me. I knew then she was the one. She has been my bff ever sense. She is now 13 years old. She doesn't care for other dogs (not aggressive just doesn't care) but loves all people and is so amazingly smart and was easy to train. I still say It was almost like she picked me!

[@carolwright2234]

This is really good information, I had no idea about the Front, Middle and Back of each pack and how to tell by watching at feeding time. I think my Lab is Middle to Back as he is great but has a few issues.

[@ratbones620]

Cesar I’m reading your book “Cesar’s Way” it has definitely challenged my beliefs about dogs and dog training (but in a good way!). I hope to start applying what I’ve learned to my 8 year old Labrador Retriever.

[@Bear-down72]

Cesar Milan is my favorite dog whisper

[@mayankwangu219]

I’m from India , sir great videos , I used to watch your videos on discovery channel , today I search ur name and I got yuer KZbin channel. Sir make videos for which dogs are suitable for Indian subcontinent, Good luck sir for future

[@DogSpeak]

This is good information for people. In my rescue shelter I get mostly back of the pack dogs that have been misunderstood. These are the dogs that are hardest to place and stay the longest. They may have developed insecurities and can exhibit fear, fear aggression. Uncertainty. And insecure dominant behaviors. The second would be the front of the pack dogs that have been misunderstood. These dogs can act dominant or controlling but their confidence can be an admirable trade IMO. Don’t get me wrong I love both personality types and if if not misled can be fantastic dogs. The middles don’t get surrendered as much and if they do are usually quickly placed. They are easiest if you already have pets and are looking to add a new friend to your life. Also don’t forget that some of these dogs need what you have learned from your experience. If it fits into your life and you have the patience and time, why not help one of the dogs in need. Great info Cesar!

[@bernardoMG1]

Pure gold in every word on this video.

[@Виктория-щ7е9о]

Thank you so much for your help with the dogs 😘We have rescued Rottweilers from the shelter and your videos helped a lot in their training

[@danielaterra3271]

Hi. I just realize I have a back of the pack with high energy level (very challenging to get her in a calm state of mind) and a front of the pack with low energy. Two rescued females: a kelpie mix and a miniature poodle.

[@lisamarr9116]

I have always loved the runt of the littler puppies. I was 4 years old when I picked my first puppy...the runt. He lived to be 16 years old, my best friend and the most amazing dog. I still miss him and I am 56 yrs old. My sweetheart girl now, the runt of the litter, is now 15 years old. She is a jewel and has never had behaviour problems. Even in her old age, she is so loving and gentkecwith my grandchildren.

[@helloismartin6322]

Yes! German Shepherd puppy!

[@sametimes3235]

I love the 3 rules 😊 I had my German Shepard for 18 yrs & now I followed cesar’s 3 rules to find a new pup for my new lifestyle after having my Nala for so long 🙏🏼 Now after following Cesars 3 rules I have found my little Peanut who is a tiny jug & completely won my heart ❤️ Thank you Cesar 🙏🏼 You helped me see maybe a smaller breed was what suits my lifestyle ☺️ Thank you Cesar 🙏🏼❤️

[@felipevilches7128]

Hola César! Me encantó el video. Muchas gracias a ti, y a tu equipo. Un abrazo.

[@tracywheeler1227]

You truly have a gift Cesar !! I have never heard Anyone, Anywhere speak to the psychology of animal's & to Understand & Read People & their dogs the way you do & so effortlessly. It's all Greek to me, I think it's really a different approach & method. One that certainly works or you would not be Cesar Millan. I love you videos & I will keep watching. TY

[@natalieJe10]

As a person who thought they adopted a back if the pack puppy (he was like this for about 9-10 months) He magically turned to a high energy social butterfly in a blink of an eye... Idk what happened but I'm all for it😂 made him so much more interested in out training lessons.

[@imlateagain22]

I always love the runt of the litter. But then, I’m ready to dote on them, love on them, reassure them and I think they’re the most wonderful and beautiful dog in the world.

[@sarahbowman7566]

Cesar is the best source of insight for connecting in general but hearing his take on dogs and how it relates to my instincts and interactions fuels me to create and become leader of my own pack soon.

[@JenniferPearsonJP7]

It would be great to have a video about circumstances when people shouldn't have dogs even if they love them and even if they have had them in the past, such as developing a disability or beyond a certain age (diminished strength) or certain lifestyles.

[@LLewis-vu9qf]

Hmm, let me see. I'm 71 and disabled (no balance and I need a walking aid). So reading your post, I maybe shouldn't have a dog. But I DO have a dog. Knowing my limitations, I got a young adult Pomeranian. He was already housebroken and past the 'chewing everything in sight' stage. He is affectionate, playful but willing to chill until time for an adventure. Being small he doesn't need long walks. Since walking is difficult for me, he gets much of his exercise by chasing a flirt pole. I realize some disabilities are more severe than others but if someone really believes he/she can handle a dog, maybe they should try. Where there's a will, there's a way.

[@jeromemcintyre6120]

Thank you again, Ceasar. This was broken down nicely and very insightful

[@CesarMillanOfficial]

Thank you 😊

[@amandamorton-king2112]

SUCH an interesting video ie to hear dogs still have individual genetic dispositions despite their breed. I'd never heard of a low energy collie for instance although it makes perfect sense. Love to learn with Cesar Millan.

[@PavanKumar-bj7mo]

Thank you for educating people 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Megan.Adrianna.]

We have been graced with the honor of a Toffee, she's a lab/retriever and she's amazing. The most chill dog ever even as a puppy. Important not to over feed them, she developed 2 lumps we needed to remove cause my Dad kept giving her food from his dinners. I finally got him to stop and she's a healthy and happy 14yr old. They are very special dogs. We were lucky cause when she's home cause she's very low energy at home but when she's out walking in the woods where we live, she goes for hours. A very calm happy quiet dog. Now that she's older we just do around 30mins most days. And for those wanting a dog to feel safe... they're a great choice, she's got a very powerful bark when people come to the door. They're the best all rounder dog I've ever come across. I cuddle with her every night, don't know what I'll do without her ❤ They shed alot but it's beyond worth it 😅
