Millán: "I'm naturally a loud person. It can be a bit overpowering."

Millán: "I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning."

Millán: "Children are becoming disobedient... why, because of the lack of rules boundaries and limitations."

Millán: "When I was old enough, I was 21 years of age, I decided to come to America. I did it illegally, so I jumped the border. I didn't speak any English."

Millán: "I think my life has everything, you know; it has comedy, has drama, has action."

Millán: "I was blessed to grow up on a farm, and when you're a farm boy, exercise is part of your lifestyle. Like it or not, that environment makes you work out. On the farm, nature is your gym. You walk and run and swim and have to do a lot of work with animals too."

Millán: "It's an up and down thing, the human goals, because the human is always an explorer, an adventurist."

Millán: "A lot of people, for example, live an anxious life. They don't realize they have a super-high level of anxiety. So we're gonna work on really writing down how anxious you feel at the moment you wake up. There's nothing wrong with it; the point is you learn to evaluate yourself and regulate yourself."

Millán: "Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order."

Millán: "Aggression is not a breed thing. It's a state of mind, and it comes from how the human is with the dog. There are four levels of energy, regardless of the breed: low, medium, high, very high. The idea is to get a dog in your same level or lower than you."

Millán: "Dogs don't rationalize. They don't hold anything against a person. They don't see the outside of a human but the inside of a human."

Millán: "We're the only species who follow unstable leaders. This is true - it has little to do with America - around the world, pack leaders are unstable. Animals don't follow that."

Millán: "The dog is a reflection of your energy, of your behavior. You have to ask, 'What am I doing?' That's the right question to ask."

Millán: "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."

Millán: "A dog is a vehicle, you know; a dog is a window to Mother Nature, and that's the closest species we have."

Millán: "I am not brutal or cruel to animals. My mission has always been to save dogs - especially troubled and abandoned dogs. I've dedicated my life to this."

Millán: "People say I train dogs, but in many ways I train people."

Millán: "The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you."

Millán: "Change takes effort. And the reality is, most people don't want to put in effort to better their life."

Millán: "Oprah is a wealthy person, pack leader of the human world. So many see her as the dominant one, as the authority figure. The way I view her energy, seeing her on TV, is a very calm, quiet energy. You need, in order to gain control, higher energy than your dog."

Millán: "I have never met a dog I couldn't help; however, I have met humans who weren't willing to change."
