One hundred episodes! It’s a sign of both success and longevity, two things I wish for the viewers of Dog Whisperer. From the West Coast to the East Coast, everywhere I go, the fans always greet and thank me and shake my hand. Without the fans, the show would be nothing and I wouldn’t be where I am today. So thank you!

Who would have thought that a Mexican farm boy would have his own television show in the United States? This achievement has shown me how blessed I truly am.

Dog Whisperer has taken me so many places and introduced me to so many wonderful people. I’ve worked with over 300 dogs and their owners on the show and each one has taught me something new. The 100th Episode celebration included over 100 dogs coming together, creating one, calm-submissive pack. Together, we created balance. It was beautiful.

I take great pride in the fact that there are so many aspiring Dog Whisperers out there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me, trusting me, and watching the show with your families. Thank you for seeing that change is possible and not giving up on what your dog can achieve. Thank you for making your dog an active part of your life and taking the steps to create balance, one dog at a time.

When dealing with dogs, confidence means assertiveness and motivation means consistency. If you’re not projecting confidence and motivation, your dog can never move from a negative state of mind.

A dog will have a hard time trusting somebody who does not lead with confidence. Challenge yourself and your dog by creating goals, big or small, every day. Your accomplishments really depend on how badly you want it, right?

A lot of people ask how I am able to walk an entire pack of dogs with complete control. Well, in every pack, there is a source of weakness and a source of strength. The strongest source is the pack leader. That’s who I teach him to walk on the leash first.

Then, I find the more timid dog, the weaker energy. Even though he is not the strongest member of the pack, he can still affect the middle members. When I have the strongest and weakest members in the same calm, submissive state of mind, the others automatically fall in line.

The dogs already obey the leader in the house, so if I take over that position, they are going to follow me outside the house. They don’t need a lot of direction. They will see you control those states of mind and will see you represent balance.
