A dog's behavior is fundamentally shaped by the owner's calm, assertive energy rather than by verbal commands.

“You want your dog to listen to your silence, to your calmness, to what's in your mind without saying a word.”

A dog owner must provide structure and clear communication through consistent training rather than humanizing the animal.

“humanizing dogs. So, you say if you treat a dog like a human, they'll treat you like a dog, right?

Applying consistent structured rituals like no look, no touch, and no speak upon returning home improves a dog's behavior and psychological state.

“I practice no look, no touch, no speak in the first um, you know, minutes of contact or coming home.”

George Kimmel believes he knows how to properly discipline a dog to get it to behave.

“I know that my theory I know how to discipline to get a dog straight I have my own theories about it”

She emphasizes that intensive professional training followed by consistent enforcement of rules is the key to well-behaved dogs.

“we um we did put a lot of effort into having them trained um we have a friend who is local and she's an incredible dog trainer um so we kind of put them through a really intensive course with her and then when they come home you have to keep up with the rules”

Training dogs should prioritize positive reinforcement to create a learning environment, using corrections only for dangerous, disrespectful, or blatant behavioral issues.

“if i'm trying to teach the dog behaviors and shape behaviors and and bridge complex uh behavioral patterns together then i want that to be a positive learning environment”

Bobby Lee believes that modern dog training should be based on mutual respect rather than outdated attempts to dominate the animal.

“I think it's about like mutual respect and that's what he goes by because especially for a guy like Julio try try saying try subduing him with with the you your usual dominating tactics I [ __ ] dare you”
