<v Speaker 3>That's right.

<v Speaker 2>This on holiday weekend, Hey Ologies is number fifteen in

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>the Apple Podcast Science Charts, which is huge and crazy

26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>and wonderful. Also, you know, like a dog tearing through

27
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>your bathroom garbage and eating things. I read all your

28
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>reviews like fucking creep, and just to prove I read them,

29
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I read you one every week. This week's Rich the

30
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Beach says this is fast becoming one of my favorite podcasts.

31
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to imagine that you can get so into

32
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>a podcast about trees or bees, but this gets me

33
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>every time I look at this subject and I'm like,

34
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>trees dendrology, Okay, that sounds boring, and then an hour

35
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>later I'm riveted to the seat and listening intently. Thanks

36
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>rich the Beach. I love it when people are like,

37
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>am I gonna like this topic?

38
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 3>And then they're like, I love this topic.

39
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>That's why I make this show. Okay, let's get into it.

40
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>Dogs dogs to dogs, dogs dogs, so real quick. The

41
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>words sinology it comes from the Greek for sinos, which

42
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 2>means dog boom. It's pretty rare to hear sinology in English.

43
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 2>People don't use it much, but it is a real

44
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 2>word and it usually means a canine specialist from a

45
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 2>breeder to maybe a show judge or a professional dog handler.

46
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 2>So it checks out. And a dog, by the way,

47
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>if you're like, what exactly is a dog? Species? Canis familiaris,

48
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 2>which I find to be adorable families right in the

49
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>name dogs share a common ancestor with wolves. Some historians

50
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>think dogs were domesticated from this common ancestor over thirty

51
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 2>five thousand years ago, So us and dogs we go

52
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>way back.

53
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Now. I've known this ologist's work for so.

54
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Many years, and I've watched his TV show about dog training,

55
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and we both work on Saturday morning educational TV shows.

56
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>So shout out to Innovation Nation and Lucky Dog. I'm

57
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>sorry for swearing already, which I don't do on your show.

58
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 2>So I've been a fan for years, and this year

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>we were at the Daytime Emmys and he was nominated,

60
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and we were sitting next to each other, and his

61
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>category was literally the last to be announced in a

62
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>four hour ceremony. All of our feet hurt, everyone was hungry,

63
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>but we were all stuck it out and he won.

64
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>It was his third Emmy. We were all so excited.

65
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>He gave a heartfelt speech dedicating it to the shelter

66
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 2>dogs who didn't make it out and everyone almost cried

67
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>their mascara off. I was like, come on, dude, I

68
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 2>moren fake lashes.

69
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing to me?

70
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 2>And then at the after party I cornered him and

71
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I was like, hey, Sinology, what do you think Please

72
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>be on my podcast?

73
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Please?

74
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 2>He was like sure and I was like yes. So

75
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 2>Wikipedia has called him dog Trainer to the Stars. Having

76
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>calmed down and charm schooled the pups of Ellen DeGeneres

77
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and Don Cheatle and Kate Hudson and Ronda Rousi and

78
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>our mutual pal Chris Hardwick, who loves him. This ologist

79
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 2>lives and works on a huge ranch full of dogs.

80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>It is my heaven. So he invited me up to

81
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the ranch to record, and y'all, it was like Charlie

82
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>about to go meet Willy Wonka.

83
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh god, huh. I arrived.

84
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I met his personal tiny dog Lulu and Utah, who

85
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.879
<v Speaker 2>appears to be a small werewolf, as well as a

86
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 2>bunch of dogs getting rehabbed, and one skittish, emaciated and

87
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of droopy faced foxhound named Betsy who had just

88
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.480
<v Speaker 2>been sprung from the shelter the day before. By the way,

89
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>This ologist is super tall, well over six feet tall,

90
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 2>very tan from being outdoors, and is great with both

91
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>big dogs and super tiny ones, which was really adorable

92
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>to watch. Now, I thought this episode would be like

93
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 2>aren't dogs goofballs? But in tone, I'll be honest, this

94
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 2>interview is kind of less clown whistles and giggles and

95
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>slightly more cocktail party mixed with Sarah McLaughlin SBCA commercial,

96
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>So you'll learn about his own fascinating like are you

97
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>kidding me? Backstory, and where dogs come from and why

98
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>they love us, and how to calm down your anxious pup,

99
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>more about emotional service animals, and of course the rescue

100
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:31.879
<v Speaker 2>versus breeder debate. So please sit stay for a man

101
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>you know as animal Brandon online. He is a field

102
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>behaviorist and thus a sinologist. Brandon McMillan.

103
00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 4>Too one too.

104
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.879
<v Speaker 3>All right, you're you're rolling, but.

105
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 4>We're actually on Well yeah, but where I got to

106
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 4>turn on the filter.

107
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>This is where you stop confessing to murders and swearing

108
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>exactly JK. I was discussed already, I said the effort,

109
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.600
<v Speaker 2>So sorry, mom, okay, let's get right into it. So

110
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 2>you are technically a sinologist, but you specialize in animal

111
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>behavior across the board.

112
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.800
<v Speaker 4>Right, yeah, yeah, sinology. I guess you can call myself that.

113
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 4>I just call myself an animal behaviorist. There's a there's

114
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 4>a believe it or not in the animal world. There's

115
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 4>there's two kinds of experts. Okay, you have what we

116
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 4>call the book smart experts. These are the people that

117
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.439
<v Speaker 4>went to school, they studied in books, and this is

118
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.519
<v Speaker 4>why you go to a university and you get a degree.

119
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 4>And the other half of the field that I'm in,

120
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 4>the other the other half of the expert is the

121
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 4>we call them the field experts, and these are the

122
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 4>people that actually go out and they work with animals

123
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.759
<v Speaker 4>all day. So I grew up in the circus. My

124
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.240
<v Speaker 4>parents were both wild in my entire family were all

125
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 4>wild animal trainers. So I never read a book on

126
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 4>animals my entire life. So if you read a book

127
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 4>about animal science from like the nineteen thirties, right, it's

128
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.600
<v Speaker 4>all been debunked in debunked in the nineteen fifties, and

129
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.000
<v Speaker 4>then the ones in the nineteen fifties have been debunked

130
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 4>in the seventies and the seventies, the nine you know,

131
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying.

132
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>So Apparently dog science is subject to trends and tweaks,

133
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 2>not unlike your uncle's mustache and the rise and fall

134
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of denim crotches. But I checked into this, and Brandon

135
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>knows this stuff. It's been all over the place. Like

136
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>In eighteen forty eight, a dude named W. N. Hutchinson

137
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>published a book with a quick and snappy title. It

138
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 2>was called quote dog Breaking, the most expeditious, certain and

139
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 2>easy method, whether great excellence or only mediocrity, be required

140
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>with odds and ends for those who love the dog

141
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 2>and the gun. How eighteen forty eight is that also

142
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>dog breaking? Get bent? W? N.

143
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 3>Hutchinson?

144
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So fast forward to the eighteen forties when dog trainer

145
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Blanche Sanders, a cool kind of Catherine Hepburn betrousered Gal,

146
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>was known for her catchphrase command, jerk, praise, and I

147
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>unearthed this nineteen forty six YouTube time capsule called training

148
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>You to Train your Dog to.

149
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 4>Be blunt about it.

150
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Then you'll get top drawer information in this series, not

151
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>just some nonsense dreamed up by a self styled expert

152
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 1>who gets giddy about every little dog in a window.

153
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Leash jerks and throat chains kind of stayed the norm

154
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and then in the nineteen seventies there was a group

155
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>of monks in upstate New York who had a best

156
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>selling book about establishing dominance over your dog. It was

157
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 2>based on the theory that wolves live in packs, so

158
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to be alpha.

159
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 3>But studies have.

160
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Since shown that wild wolves actually have a way more

161
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.399
<v Speaker 2>chill family existence with like the mom and the dad

162
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 2>wolf sharing leadership, way fewer power struggles, which is sad

163
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 2>and crazy when you're like man, I wish our.

164
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 3>Culture where is civilized as wild wolves.

165
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, beating your dog into submission, as it turns out,

166
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>monks can make them dangerously aggressive, probably pretty emo. They're

167
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>probably on Tumblr being like my dad sucks. So in

168
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>contrast to say Blanche Sanders command jerk praise, Brandon's go

169
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to is control train treat. But he never got certified

170
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>with that. He just developed it from working with animals

171
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>from the time he was but a wee pop.

172
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 4>So, especially this day and age, you have there's a

173
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 4>big misconception. A lot of people think that to be

174
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 4>a dog trainer that you have to be what's called

175
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 4>a certified dog trainer. Certified dog training just became a

176
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 4>big thing in the past, like ten twelve years. Certified

177
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 4>dog trainer was never a thing when I was growing up.

178
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 4>Certified dog training became a thing when the Internet really exploded.

179
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 4>And the people that created these certifications they're not even

180
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 4>dog trainers, they're just businessmen. But all the old school

181
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 4>dog trainers were refused to become certified because I will

182
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 4>never take a certification course from somebody who, does you know,

183
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.080
<v Speaker 4>is not a top expert in their field themselves.

184
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>So I looked into this and there are approximately one

185
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>bazillion schools offering dog training certificates, crossing up to six

186
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>grand for some courses. So odds are that some trainers

187
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>of trainers are less experienced and in it for the money.

188
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>So do your own research if this is a field

189
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>you're considering. Now, how did Brandon learn all of this

190
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff by growing up with a totally normal, not unusual

191
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 2>childhood at all, totally run of the mill, nothing to

192
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 2>see here. Well, so you know you grew up around

193
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the circus and I've seen pictures. You posted a picture

194
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>around Mother's Day. I think your mom holding like a

195
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.120
<v Speaker 2>tiger cub. Like, what was that? Like? How did your

196
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>parents get into it? And what were some of your

197
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>early memories working with animals.

198
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 4>My father got into it. So my I'm first generation

199
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 4>American on my father's side and he's from the UK,

200
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 4>and this is post World War two. Times were tough

201
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 4>in England. It was not like the modern day England

202
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 4>we see. It's just you know, booming economy and technology

203
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 4>after World War Two, especially up in the north of

204
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 4>my family's from. We're from a town called Workington, which

205
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 4>is about ten miles south of the Scottish border, and

206
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.639
<v Speaker 4>it was very poor. It was so poor back after

207
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.480
<v Speaker 4>post war that basically people were a lot of crime

208
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.159
<v Speaker 4>in the streets, a lot of stealing, a lot of

209
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, a lot of begging, and so what was

210
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 4>happening is people my father was actually he was debating

211
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 4>what did he do should he should he go to

212
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 4>the military or should he do something else. The circus

213
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 4>happened to be in town and he went to the circus.

214
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 4>He was mesmerized by the lion trainer. His name was

215
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Gunther Gable Williams, who was the most famous lion tamer

216
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 4>from the nineteen fifties into about the nineteen seventies into

217
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 4>the eighties. And my father was so mesmerized by him,

218
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 4>he jumped on the train and became an apprentice for him.

219
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, I'm fifteen years old.

220
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, he's like Bie, yeah exactly. I was like,

221
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe I should see what this guy look like, and

222
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.120
<v Speaker 2>so I pictured someone in a mustache wearing like a

223
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>wool three piece suit and a monocle incorrect. Oh my god,

224
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Oh my god. Oh the Majesty so

225
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>gunther Gable Williams image search returns are deeply gratifying photos

226
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>of just a lemon juice blonde, sun kissed Demi God

227
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:19.279
<v Speaker 2>wearing bespangled, flared spandex pants and a matching vest. Hold

228
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 2>the shirt not needed here. He looks like a wholesome,

229
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 2>sexy Billie Idol, but with a cheetah draped around his neck.

230
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:28.759
<v Speaker 2>And if there's one thing you can learn from looking

231
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 2>at him, dude could get some tail. And I'm not

232
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.320
<v Speaker 2>just talking about elephants. So if this dude swung through

233
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>my post war town, I would hop onto a circus

234
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 2>wagon so hard I would break it. So Brandon's dad

235
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, this dude is cool.

236
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm in. This is my new career Workington, I'm out.

237
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, there's nothing going on in Northern England. At that time,

238
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 4>He's like, I'm either going to grow up here and

239
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 4>become nothing, or I want to see the world. So,

240
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, my father always said the same thing that

241
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 4>I said when I cause I ran away from home

242
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 4>at fifteen, and I say, I wasn't running away from something,

243
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.720
<v Speaker 4>I was running to something. And so my father basically

244
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 4>after about seven to ten years of apprenticing with him,

245
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 4>he became a tiger trainer himself and Ringling Brothers. This

246
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 4>is back in the late sixties early seventies. Ringling Brothers

247
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 4>recruited him for his own act.

248
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

249
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.639
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, this is before the circus was controversial.

250
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 4>In fact, the circus was cool back then.

251
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 2>As so, when you ran away at fifteen, were you

252
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 2>running away from the circus?

253
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Innocent?

254
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>No? No, we were Actually my family was out of

255
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 4>the circus by them. No, I ran away. I wasn't

256
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.440
<v Speaker 4>meant to be at home. I'm like that. I'm like

257
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 4>that cage bird. The second you left the cage open,

258
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 4>I was out of there.

259
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:39.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

260
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And it wasn't a bad thing. I lived in

261
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 4>Hawaii for almost four years. That's a great place to

262
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 4>live when you don't have a home.

263
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's very Yeah it's great.

264
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 2>So side note, I thought I would find some cute

265
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>statistics and just like pop them in here on a

266
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe like a Van Dweller's subreddit about surfers who live

267
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>in VW's on the North Shore and have a better

268
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>life expectancy than more traditional American lifestyles. But then, to

269
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the contrary, I fell down a rabbit hole reading about

270
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Hawaii's homelessness epidemic and a build a classify homelessness as

271
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a medical condition, and one man saying I don't have

272
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 2>a house, but I'm not homeless. This island is my home,

273
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.440
<v Speaker 2>and this public land should serve the people. Everyone here

274
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.039
<v Speaker 2>has a home. It's Hawaii. And then I started crying

275
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>reading that. But anyway, Brandon said that Hawaiian's taught him

276
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>everything he needed to know, including had a shark dive.

277
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.399
<v Speaker 2>You may have also seen Brandon on Shark Week and

278
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 2>in essence, Brandon's story of liberation went from feeling like

279
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:41.039
<v Speaker 2>a bird fleeing captivity in adolescence at fifteen to an

280
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.039
<v Speaker 2>adulthood of being dangled in a steel cage confronting great

281
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>white sharks. Super normcore sequence of events one through line

282
00:14:51.159 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>in his life clearly animals. So when you started training animals,

283
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 2>how old were you were you doing that? You did

284
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 2>that before you left for home Hawaii, before you kind

285
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 2>of went off on your own.

286
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, No, I used to prep the animals for

287
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 4>my father's act. So I grew up with tigers in

288
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 4>our backyard. We had lions, we had grizzly bears, we

289
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 4>had elephants, we had primeates, we had some hoof stock,

290
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 4>we had some reptiles. So we were true animal trainers.

291
00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 4>And so by the time I was, you know, fifteen

292
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:22.159
<v Speaker 4>years old, I already had more experience than half the

293
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.480
<v Speaker 4>trainers in the industry that were, you know, forty and

294
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 4>fifty and so. So after I ran away when I

295
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 4>was nineteen, my uncle found me in Hawaii. He brought

296
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.799
<v Speaker 4>me back to California. He had one of the biggest

297
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 4>companies out here. They were called Hollywood Animals. They did

298
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.039
<v Speaker 4>a lot of animals from movies over the years.

299
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Remember the tiger from the Hangover filter.

300
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.720
<v Speaker 4>You're not going to the bathroom filter, there is a

301
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 4>tiger in the bathroom. What's going on? There's a juggle

302
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:50.519
<v Speaker 4>kind of bathroom.

303
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was Hollywood Animals.

304
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.919
<v Speaker 4>So by the time I was nineteen. Look me, gave

305
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 4>me an option. He goes, listen, you're joining the military,

306
00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 4>or you're coming to India with me, because we're doing

307
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 4>a movie over there right now. And I was actually

308
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 4>thinking about going to the military because my grandfather was

309
00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:08.240
<v Speaker 4>World War Two veteran, and so he actually like I

310
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.320
<v Speaker 4>was literally, you know, signing the paperwork, and he like

311
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:11.960
<v Speaker 4>stopped the pen right there. He's like, oh my god.

312
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 4>He was like, I was trying to hint to you,

313
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 4>you little. He was like, you're coming to India with me.

314
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 4>We're doing We're doing a movie. So it took me

315
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 4>about three months to learn his animals. He had. He

316
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 4>had a pride of lions. He had a few tigers,

317
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 4>he had some leopards, he had some grizzly bears, he

318
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 4>had elephants, he had some zebra. So it took me

319
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 4>about three or four months to learn his animals. I

320
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 4>had to slowly but surely, like acclimate myself to them

321
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 4>so they wouldn't keep coming after me. You have to

322
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 4>enter each of the cages, and eventually they don't look

323
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:42.360
<v Speaker 4>at you as prey. They look at you as one

324
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:42.840
<v Speaker 4>of their own.

325
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god. So do you do it a little bit,

326
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 3>little by little, like, Hi, guys, me good.

327
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.159
<v Speaker 4>You know, believe it or not. When it comes to

328
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.720
<v Speaker 4>wild animals, they're all the same. It's it's not what

329
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 4>you It's not what you do that's gonna help you survive.

330
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 4>It's what you don't do.

331
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you know.

332
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 4>So when you're dealing with predators, for example, the worst

333
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.840
<v Speaker 4>thing you can do is turn your back. If a

334
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 4>predator is actually facing you and running towards you, believe

335
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 4>it or not, the best thing you can do is

336
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:06.440
<v Speaker 4>run towards.

337
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 3>It, an act and look big.

338
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Right.

339
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, predators are not used to getting stocked themselves.

340
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Do you take any of this knowledge and wisdom with

341
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 2>animal behavior and apply it to your own life? Yes,

342
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Like when you're in a business meeting and someone's trying

343
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to score you over, you're like, oh, I'm not.

344
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 4>Going to back down one hundred percent. I do with

345
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.680
<v Speaker 4>I do it with people. I do it because you

346
00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 4>have to remember everyone you're talking to in the world,

347
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.079
<v Speaker 4>they're they're just like you. You know, whether they're smarter

348
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 4>than they're in my opinion, they're no smarter than you,

349
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.680
<v Speaker 4>they're no better than you. So everyone is a human

350
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 4>we all bleed, we all have emotion, you know. So yeah,

351
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.640
<v Speaker 4>I apply the exact same theories to humans too.

352
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So at what point did you go from training tigers

353
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 2>for movies and being in India and you've traveled all

354
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>over the world, like you you are trained in how

355
00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:52.119
<v Speaker 2>to survive in the bush, Like, at what point did

356
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>you say dogs rescuing dogs?

357
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:55.160
<v Speaker 3>That's going to be my deal?

358
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 4>It was. It was a slow process. I can't say

359
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.599
<v Speaker 4>this one moment that changed it all. It was basic evolution.

360
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:06.640
<v Speaker 4>Look when I when I joined my uncle's company, Hollywood Animals,

361
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 4>he had every animal. And when you have a wild

362
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 4>animal company, you always have a pack of dogs. And

363
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 4>the reason why is because every commercial, every movie, every

364
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, advertisement on whether it's a magazine, there's always dogs.

365
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.319
<v Speaker 4>Not every movie has a tiger, right, you know.

366
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>I just want you to know that there is an

367
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.200
<v Speaker 2>entire Wikipedia page called films about tigers, which would lead

368
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 2>you to believe that there are a lot, but there's

369
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>only twenty seven entries. Maybe someone started this and was like,

370
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>who's every.

371
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Going to look at this page?

372
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.200
<v Speaker 2>And then just gave up too soon. Though the answer

373
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 2>is me, I'm looking at it and I love it.

374
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 4>That's what his company was known for. But believe it

375
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 4>or not, the dogs were working way more than the

376
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 4>tigers ever were. Oh I bet, yeah, yeah, and so

377
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 4>so we were always working. I forget exactly what year

378
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.920
<v Speaker 4>it was. I believe I was in my early twenties.

379
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 4>I must have been like maybe twenty one twenty two.

380
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.960
<v Speaker 4>And with any dog pack you always have, we call

381
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 4>it our you know, our basics. In other words, we

382
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.079
<v Speaker 4>have our goldens, our labs or retrievers. Our shepherds are roddis.

383
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 4>And these are the most common dogs you'll ever see

384
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 4>in like a movie or commercial. And as time goes on,

385
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.599
<v Speaker 4>of course, dogs unfortunately don't live forever. So next thing,

386
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, a Rottweiler she hit fourteen, and you know,

387
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.200
<v Speaker 4>she passed away on us. And my uncle was old school.

388
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 4>He said, we got to go to the breeder and

389
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 4>get a new one. And I said, at the time,

390
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:25.039
<v Speaker 4>I was living in an apartment and it was right

391
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.240
<v Speaker 4>in West Los Angeles, and I was about a block

392
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 4>away from the shelter, and I could hear these dogs

393
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:34.640
<v Speaker 4>just sparking all day and all night. And I went

394
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.640
<v Speaker 4>in there a couple of times just out of curiosity

395
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 4>because I, you know, I was old school too back then,

396
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 4>and so I found the shelters to be a place

397
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.240
<v Speaker 4>that you know, we were lied to. We were lied

398
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.480
<v Speaker 4>to from the nineteen fifties. People always told us that

399
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 4>the shelter dogs are damaged goods. Shelter dogs have only

400
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.759
<v Speaker 4>the worst or the worse, you know. And and suddenly

401
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.599
<v Speaker 4>you walk in there and you're surrounded by, you know,

402
00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:59.559
<v Speaker 4>all these dogs that you were, you know, taught to

403
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.799
<v Speaker 4>be afraid your entire life, and suddenly they walk up

404
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 4>to your face and kiss you. So I found a

405
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 4>rottweiler in there. Her name was Raven. And I went

406
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 4>to my uncle and I said, why are we going

407
00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 4>to go to a breeder? When I said, we can

408
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 4>get this female that she's great, she's about a year

409
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 4>and a half. I said, I promise you, I won't

410
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.839
<v Speaker 4>let you down. Let me just rescue her. He's like,

411
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 4>shelter dogs are damage goods. You know, they're the worst

412
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 4>of the worst. He was old school, and I said, okay,

413
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.720
<v Speaker 4>I put my job in the line. I know I

414
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.480
<v Speaker 4>wasn't get fired.

415
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Like literal nepotism.

416
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:34.480
<v Speaker 2>Nepotism side note is derived from the Italian for nephew

417
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>because popes and bishops were like, well, shoot, I'm not

418
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.720
<v Speaker 2>allowed to procreate and have sons, so I'll give this

419
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 2>cool thing to a different younger male, such as, for example,

420
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:48.160
<v Speaker 2>my nephew. So despite his uncle being dubious, Brandon went

421
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>back to the shelter.

422
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 4>I rescued her and he was telling me not to.

423
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:52.720
<v Speaker 4>I just went in and pulled her. I'm like, there,

424
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.440
<v Speaker 4>there's a new dog for the company. And it took

425
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.400
<v Speaker 4>me about two three months a trainer, and she went

426
00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.720
<v Speaker 4>on to become one of our best Rottweilers of the company.

427
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.839
<v Speaker 4>So I changed his mind right there and from there,

428
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:05.160
<v Speaker 4>as the years went on, you know, other dogs were

429
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.000
<v Speaker 4>passing away and we replaced. We replaced our goldens and

430
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.000
<v Speaker 4>our labs, and our shepherds and our jack Russell's next thing,

431
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, we had a full pack of dogs that

432
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 4>were all from the shelter. And as in this process,

433
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:21.039
<v Speaker 4>I started reading about the statistics of shelter dogs just

434
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 4>in America alone. You know we're talking. You know, back

435
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:25.720
<v Speaker 4>in those days, it was more like, you know, two

436
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 4>million dogs a year were euthanized because they couldn't find

437
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 4>homes in the shelter systems. Thankfully, that number has dropped

438
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.279
<v Speaker 4>in this day and age, Yeah, but it's still it's

439
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.880
<v Speaker 4>still we're pushing. Pushing a million is debatable too, because

440
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 4>shelters are not required to keep a number on the

441
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 4>on the euthanizations, so it's all on average.

442
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh I thought that they would have to have spreadsheets.

443
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:47.480
<v Speaker 4>No, no, not the euthanizations, because because some shelters they

444
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.440
<v Speaker 4>actually euthanize so fast. But there's some shelters, I mean,

445
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:52.359
<v Speaker 4>they will euthanize the dog the second and comes in.

446
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 4>If they see that any aggression, they won't even give

447
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 4>it a chance, so that dog won't even be on

448
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 4>the record, they won't even be on the books.

449
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Us go, yes, God, that's so sad. I'm so sorry.

450
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:05.200
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that this episode will be such a

451
00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 2>heart tugger and desipated.

452
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.279
<v Speaker 4>So when I started reading about these statistics, I'm thinking

453
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 4>to myself, we have an epidemic here in America that

454
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:28.680
<v Speaker 4>most people don't even know about. So it's become this

455
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:33.319
<v Speaker 4>underground you know, warrior club of us that basically have

456
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 4>to fight behind the scenes, and we don't get a

457
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.359
<v Speaker 4>lot of recognition for it. I lucked out. I got

458
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 4>recognition for it. For being you know, a lone ranger.

459
00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 4>You know, I got a show from it. I'm one

460
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 4>in a million.

461
00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know you mentioned that your uncle didn't have

462
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of faith in this rottweiler.

463
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Like, what do you think about shelter dog's being damaged goods?

464
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:57.519
<v Speaker 2>And what have you noticed in trying to train them

465
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.839
<v Speaker 2>or in looking at the behavior versus you know, breeder

466
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:04.359
<v Speaker 2>puppies that you get, you know, as soon as they're weaned.

467
00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>What challenges do shelter dogs have and what advantages do

468
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they have?

469
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.119
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, you have to understand a shelter dog is

470
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 4>basically someone's it's someone's trash in you know, I'm using

471
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 4>that metaphorically. It's basically someone threw them out. They screwed

472
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.680
<v Speaker 4>this animal up as much as they possibly could, and

473
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:24.319
<v Speaker 4>then finally the last straw was getting that shelter get

474
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 4>out of my life. So you have to remember you're

475
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.799
<v Speaker 4>dealing with a lot of residue from the past from

476
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:33.400
<v Speaker 4>someone else's irresponsible you know behavior or just I basically

477
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.519
<v Speaker 4>call it uneducated you know behavior, because you know, a

478
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.920
<v Speaker 4>lot of people don't realize how easy dogs are to train.

479
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:41.559
<v Speaker 4>They might be you know, high energy, or they might

480
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, have different personality traits. But dogs are actually

481
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.960
<v Speaker 4>very easy to train. Now they're the biggest drawbacks of

482
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 4>a shelter dog. I will say this, They're not a

483
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.279
<v Speaker 4>blank slate like a puppy. A puppy is a blank slate. Okay,

484
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 4>that is a great thing to have training wise, but

485
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 4>you have to remember, most shelter dogs you're gonna get,

486
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.759
<v Speaker 4>they're going to be past the destructive point, past the chewing,

487
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 4>past that that age where it's like it's it's a

488
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 4>lot of work. So a lot of shelter dogs, you know,

489
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 4>you're talking, there's very few that are going to be

490
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:15.839
<v Speaker 4>like under a year. We're talking, you know, most of

491
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 4>them are going to be a year, two years, three years.

492
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 4>And believe it or not, it's a lot easier to

493
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:22.680
<v Speaker 4>deal with a dog after they've hit you know, that

494
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 4>year mark. Because a puppy, when you're talking about a

495
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.200
<v Speaker 4>six to eight week old puppy, you're talking, it's like

496
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:31.119
<v Speaker 4>twenty four hour care. You're not going to sleep for

497
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:33.400
<v Speaker 4>the first you know, a week or two, I promise you.

498
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 4>You know. Because everyone has this idea, like this fantasy

499
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 4>land of like just rolling in this green grass of

500
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 4>puppies all over them. I'm like, yeah, until you bring

501
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.359
<v Speaker 4>it back to your house. It's chewing everything. It is

502
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 4>just releasing all of its body fluids everywhere in your head. Yeah,

503
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 4>say goodbye to your Grandma's rug. You know, your favorite

504
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.240
<v Speaker 4>chair is going to look like, you know, a Nila

505
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 4>bone on the side. So there's a lot of there's

506
00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 4>a lot of drawbacks to having, you know, a puppy

507
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.880
<v Speaker 4>from a breeder. You know so, and look, the bottom

508
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 4>line is there's any any dog's gonna be work. That's

509
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 4>where the lines come together. So you have, you know

510
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 4>your pros and cons of both. But regardless, you're gonna

511
00:25:09.960 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 4>have to train both. You're gonna have to train a puppy.

512
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, you're gonna make mistakes with a puppy.

513
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.359
<v Speaker 4>Everybody always has this idea, Oh, it's a puppy, so

514
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't have any any history. Well, you never guaranteed,

515
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 4>because there's there's there's two basic laws when it comes

516
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 4>to animal behavior. You have you have it's called the

517
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.200
<v Speaker 4>nature versus nurture. Well, as we all that's that's a

518
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 4>common phrase we all understand, and that means there's some

519
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 4>things that are that are that we that we teach

520
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 4>the animal, and there's some things the animal automatically has

521
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 4>in its personality traits kind of wrapped up in their DNA.

522
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I read a bunch of canine biology articles and I'm

523
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna boil it down for you. So yes, it is

524
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>nature and nurture, genetics, and experience that contribute to a

525
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 2>dog's personality and abilities, which has led dogs to different

526
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 2>jobs like stubby legged Doxies used to charge into badger

527
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.240
<v Speaker 2>holes like bitches, watch out, and they were so good

528
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.720
<v Speaker 2>at that. And your keys were bred to be tiny

529
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>and accompany miners in small places to eat the rats.

530
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Poodles were bog dogs. They were good at navigating the

531
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 2>water to pick up hunters dead ducks, and even the

532
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Queen's Corgies once had the job of herding geese, hence

533
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>they are very short. So today we rely on apps

534
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.200
<v Speaker 2>and robots judicia for us. But back then it was like,

535
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I need an animal with a gangly face and no

536
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 2>tail and boat arms for the purpose of finding and

537
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 2>biting the village witches.

538
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 3>And they were like, cool, here you go, we bred

539
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.519
<v Speaker 3>you a new dog for that.

540
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Now here's the best part of a shelter. Dog, most

541
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 4>shelter dogs. Most are some sort of mix. When you

542
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.839
<v Speaker 4>have a mix, you're creating new genetics. New genetics is

543
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 4>much healthier than a purebread. Purebreads are very expensive. Purebreads,

544
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 4>especially the more pure the dog, especially the more popular

545
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.200
<v Speaker 4>of the purebread. So, for example, a lot of your shepherds,

546
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:55.240
<v Speaker 4>a lot of your goldens, a lot of your labs,

547
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:57.759
<v Speaker 4>they come with a longer list of health problems. And

548
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.599
<v Speaker 4>the reason why is because it is such high demand

549
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 4>for these for these breeds, especially this day and age.

550
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 4>You have the French bulldogs are very popular, and the

551
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:09.839
<v Speaker 4>more popular the dog, the more of the demand the

552
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 4>breeders are going to be out there, you know, breeding

553
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.240
<v Speaker 4>these dogs like you know, we call them. I call

554
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 4>them pez dispensers. That's what I call the females that

555
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.640
<v Speaker 4>are actually I call them that because that's exactly what

556
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:24.599
<v Speaker 4>these females are doing. You know, these breeders are literally

557
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 4>turning these females into a pezzes. They're just that their

558
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.960
<v Speaker 4>only job is to produce babies, produced puppies, you know,

559
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 4>and it's sad. Now you have an entire litter of

560
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 4>dogs with a lot of health problems because you're not.

561
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:40.519
<v Speaker 4>You're not taking you know, you know, you're not taking

562
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.160
<v Speaker 4>brand new genetics and and and mixing. You're kind of

563
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 4>taken the same dogs, you know, in the same region

564
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 4>of the of the state, and you're breeding those same

565
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 4>dogs together, and they're all like distant, distant cousins. This

566
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 4>is why hypdasplacia is so prominent in German shepherds this

567
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:57.839
<v Speaker 4>this day and age. This is why French bulldogs have

568
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 4>every health problem you know under the sun.

569
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, frenchy problems include, but are not limited to, deafness,

570
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:11.319
<v Speaker 2>laryngeal collapse, hairy eyelids, screwtails, and heat stress. They also

571
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:14.240
<v Speaker 2>commonly have giant heads and narrow birth canals, so they

572
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.960
<v Speaker 2>have to be delivered by c section. They are deeply,

573
00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:22.440
<v Speaker 2>ridiculously cute. But that salad of selected pure bread genetics

574
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:24.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't always the healthiest.

575
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Now shelter dogs, because they're not. Even when you see

576
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:31.160
<v Speaker 4>like a pure shelter dog, a lot of times it's

577
00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:32.359
<v Speaker 4>got a little bit of a mix in that that

578
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a mix makes it ten times healthier.

579
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:38.319
<v Speaker 4>That right there saves you a fortune in a long run,

580
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:40.400
<v Speaker 4>dog lives a happier, healthy life.

581
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I thought about it in those economics that you're going

582
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 2>to be going to the vet last.

583
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:45.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, because a lot of people they have this

584
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 4>idea pure bread, it's beautiful this and not. I said, well,

585
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's not beautiful your credit card at the

586
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:51.240
<v Speaker 4>end of the month because you're taking that thing to

587
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 4>the vet constantly. Allergies. Oh yeah, it's very common.

588
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 2>Well okay, now you said training a dog is very easy.

589
00:28:57.839 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely very easy for you because you grew up

590
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.200
<v Speaker 2>in in like a crazy idyllic circus life where you

591
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:05.519
<v Speaker 2>got to learn a lot of this stuff. When you're

592
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 2>trying to explain it to someone who is not as say,

593
00:29:08.359 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 2>master follows you, when what do you think is the

594
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.039
<v Speaker 2>easiest thing about trackin dog? Do you what are the fundamentals?

595
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:15.119
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so I tell people dog training is just like

596
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.039
<v Speaker 4>martial arts for anyone who's ever done martial arts, even

597
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 4>if you haven't done martial arts, I have not done

598
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 4>martial arts. Martial arts is a very simple theory of

599
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 4>technique and conditioning. That's it. As I've been I've been

600
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 4>a student of several martial arts my entire life, and

601
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>it wasn't until I was older that I understood how

602
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.880
<v Speaker 4>easy martial arts really is that I that I that

603
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:40.000
<v Speaker 4>I started applying it to my animal training techniques. So

604
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 4>if you were to join I don't know if you

605
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:45.599
<v Speaker 4>know kickboxing, but if you don't, I do not. Okay,

606
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.119
<v Speaker 4>if you were to go into a kickboxing class right now,

607
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 4>it would only take that instructor an hour or two

608
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:55.279
<v Speaker 4>to teach you the theory of here's how you punch.

609
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 4>After the class, you now have the technique. I get it.

610
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Conditioning takes weeks and months, if not years. Okay, that's

611
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:05.480
<v Speaker 4>what gets you fast at it, and that's what gets

612
00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:07.599
<v Speaker 4>you in in you know, in combat mode where you

613
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:09.839
<v Speaker 4>can actually use it in a practical, you know, a

614
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:13.440
<v Speaker 4>real life situation. There's no difference between martial arts and

615
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 4>dog training. Dog training is the same thing. I can

616
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.079
<v Speaker 4>teach anybody a technique on how to teach a dog

617
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.440
<v Speaker 4>to lie down. So, whether I'm teaching a human or

618
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 4>whether I'm teaching a dog. If I'm I'm teaching a

619
00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 4>dog to lie down, all I do is I teach

620
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 4>the dog to lie down it only it only takes

621
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:30.559
<v Speaker 4>the dog about an hour to truly understand. Oh, I

622
00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 4>get it. You want me to lie down now? I'm

623
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:33.799
<v Speaker 4>not saying the dog's going to be great at it,

624
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 4>and you could say it twenty times, the dog might

625
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:37.680
<v Speaker 4>only do it, like, you know, one or two times.

626
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 4>But guess what the technique is in there in their

627
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 4>their their arsenal you know of training. Now, the conditioning,

628
00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 4>that's where that's where most people fail because you have

629
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:50.960
<v Speaker 4>to understand people. They have this idea. Oh, they'll just

630
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 4>go to like a dog trainer, and the dog trainer says, okay,

631
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna get your dog to stay. So after that

632
00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 4>one hour, the family of the dog, they're like, this

633
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 4>is amazing, I taught my dog to stay. But that's

634
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 4>where they end it right there. They don't condition the dog.

635
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.200
<v Speaker 4>If you don't condition your animal, your dog is barely

636
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:10.480
<v Speaker 4>going to be trained. Okay, there's trained, and there's well trained.

637
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.440
<v Speaker 4>Conditioning is what makes the animal well trained. So you

638
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:16.319
<v Speaker 4>want you to teach your dog that stay every day,

639
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.359
<v Speaker 4>three times a day, just for five minutes. It's like

640
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.720
<v Speaker 4>muscle memory. Remember the karate kid, I do remember wax

641
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 4>on wax off.

642
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Sure do, wax on, wax on, wax on wax So why.

643
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Did he do that?

644
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 2>He got so good at it without even realizing.

645
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:36.759
<v Speaker 4>It he was. He was teaching his body muscle memory.

646
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:40.559
<v Speaker 4>You know that. Whenever he actually started teaching him the theory,

647
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 4>I think it was was he teaching karate? I think

648
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.359
<v Speaker 4>so karate kid, right, karate? That's all he wanted to do.

649
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 4>He wanted to teach him muscle memory. And it's exact

650
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 4>same thing with with animal training. It's just conditioning. I'm

651
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 4>going to teach your dog a sit. Now your dog

652
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.359
<v Speaker 4>has the technique. You have to condition your animal. Okay,

653
00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 4>So I, as a trainer can teach your dog the sit.

654
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.720
<v Speaker 4>But I can't move into your house for the next

655
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:03.400
<v Speaker 4>six months and keep teaching the sit.

656
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:04.559
<v Speaker 3>That's a higher fee.

657
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.319
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I imagine exactly.

658
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 2>So when you're doing your show, how long does it

659
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:12.640
<v Speaker 2>take for you to train certain dogs? By the way,

660
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:16.119
<v Speaker 2>during parts of this interview, there was a tiny Chihuahua

661
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 2>in my lap and I loved it.

662
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 4>Hi you Lulu, Lulu? Am I going to have to

663
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.039
<v Speaker 4>kick you out of here?

664
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.559
<v Speaker 1>Mute?

665
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.279
<v Speaker 2>How long would you say it takes you to train

666
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a dog from shelter to like you can?

667
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 3>You are now home ready?

668
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.599
<v Speaker 2>You know where to go potty, you know what furniture

669
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to go on, which ones you should stay off.

670
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Like how long is that? How long should that process take?

671
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 4>It depends on the dog. Yeah, you know, dogs are

672
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 4>just like humans. You have your A students, and you

673
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 4>have your average students. Every once in a while you

674
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 4>have your D students unfortunately, which we try to edge

675
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 4>them up to a C plus. But every dog is different.

676
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:55.960
<v Speaker 4>So I always say this, here's the here's the best

677
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:00.519
<v Speaker 4>way I can always describe. People are always under the

678
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 4>mindset they say there's certain dogs that are just smarter

679
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:06.400
<v Speaker 4>than others. I say, that's that's completely false. And here's

680
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 4>why I say that. It's not that any dog is

681
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.319
<v Speaker 4>smarter than the next. I say, there's response time. Response

682
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 4>time is really what you're what you're seeing. So for example,

683
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.720
<v Speaker 4>you have your you have your your main dogs that

684
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.960
<v Speaker 4>we always think of, like, you know, our most intelligent

685
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 4>breeds are Border Collies, Aussi Shepherds, German Shepherds, labradors. What

686
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.640
<v Speaker 4>else is the smart poodles are very smart. Yeah, there's

687
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:32.720
<v Speaker 4>a lot that I'm missing here, but all you all

688
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 4>you're seeing is response time because in reality, a loss

689
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 4>of apso or a Pikinese, which are not known to

690
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.319
<v Speaker 4>be the most you know, I don't want to throw

691
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:42.720
<v Speaker 4>any breezes into the bus. I know there's a lot

692
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.200
<v Speaker 4>of people listening right now. They're not playing chess, but

693
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 4>of hunters of breeds, there's like the top ten. The

694
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Pekinese generally is not making in the top ten, or

695
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.680
<v Speaker 4>remember the top fifty. But it doesn't mean that a

696
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.319
<v Speaker 4>Pikinese cannot learn everything a German shepherd or a border

697
00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.400
<v Speaker 4>calling can learn. It just means the response time is

698
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.559
<v Speaker 4>not as quick. So think about a computer. You have

699
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:05.519
<v Speaker 4>a twenty eighteen MacBook and a two thousand and three MacBook.

700
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 4>They both kind of do the same thing. Gase type

701
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:10.400
<v Speaker 4>of the letter the same and they both kind of

702
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 4>do the same thing, but this one's a little slower.

703
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 4>But it does not mean they're not as intelligent. It

704
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:18.159
<v Speaker 4>just means response time. That's all we're talking about.

705
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a favorite breed? Do people ask you

706
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.400
<v Speaker 3>that a lot?

707
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:25.920
<v Speaker 4>The one you're petting right now, lug Yet I have

708
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.800
<v Speaker 4>my top I have my top five that I like

709
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.199
<v Speaker 4>to train, And it's mainly because of what we were

710
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:35.960
<v Speaker 4>just talking about, response time, Because I like I like

711
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 4>training dogs for not only a purpose, but I like

712
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 4>training them for like a job. I love. I love

713
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:45.880
<v Speaker 4>seeing dogs work, especially when they're working in the original

714
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 4>jobs that they were originally bred for. So like, for example,

715
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:53.039
<v Speaker 4>you know you saw outside I had that bloodhound mix. Yes,

716
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:56.280
<v Speaker 4>I just got her yesterday, but I'll probably do some

717
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.119
<v Speaker 4>nosework with her. And nosework means, you know, you're teaching

718
00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.440
<v Speaker 4>the dog to use their no and you're teaching them

719
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:04.840
<v Speaker 4>actual scent like kind of games, fun stuff they can

720
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:08.239
<v Speaker 4>do with their nose. So if you can actually work

721
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:11.679
<v Speaker 4>an animal and identify what they are originally bred for,

722
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:14.760
<v Speaker 4>those are the kind of dogs I like working. So

723
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:18.840
<v Speaker 4>for example, like the Golden retrievers, the laboratory retrievers, I

724
00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:22.800
<v Speaker 4>love teaching them service dog techniques because retrievers they like

725
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.119
<v Speaker 4>picking things up off the ground and handing it to people,

726
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, so I train them for people in wheelchairs.

727
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.880
<v Speaker 2>So Brandon, alongside a military dog trainer named Mike Hurstick,

728
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.840
<v Speaker 2>started Angus Service Dogs and it's a nonprofit that trains

729
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:39.159
<v Speaker 2>service animals for disabled veterans, many of whom were hit

730
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>by improvised explosive devices and are just learning to walk

731
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:46.440
<v Speaker 2>on prosthetics. And yes, I watched some videos about how

732
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:50.039
<v Speaker 2>these dogs brought independence and true joy back to veterans'

733
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 2>lives and yes, I cried again.

734
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Now, when you have prosthetics, it's very difficult to

735
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:58.039
<v Speaker 4>reach down to the ground and pick up your keys,

736
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.880
<v Speaker 4>or your sunglasses or your hat. These dogs are trying

737
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 4>to pick up the objects for them, and so good

738
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:03.480
<v Speaker 4>at that.

739
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:04.199
<v Speaker 3>They're bread for that.

740
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 4>I prefer the retrievers because now I'm teaching a dog

741
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.559
<v Speaker 4>to use their natural instincts. That's why it's called the retriever.

742
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:14.440
<v Speaker 4>They were originally bred to assist a hunter when they

743
00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:14.800
<v Speaker 4>shoot the.

744
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Waterfowl, right and go grab that duck yep.

745
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 4>And furthermore, and the reason why the retrievers were were

746
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:23.800
<v Speaker 4>the ideal dog is because goldens and labs, they're known

747
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:24.920
<v Speaker 4>to have a very soft grip.

748
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Is that what the egg test is? Yes, so google.

749
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Dogs plus egg test highly recommended. Although I do need

750
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to have a word with people who attempted this with

751
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a raw egg in their carpeted rumpist rooms, like, no,

752
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 2>don't don't do that.

753
00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 4>So you can teach any dog to retrieve, Okay, you

754
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:46.159
<v Speaker 4>can do it with pit bulls, you can do it

755
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 4>with rotwilers. The problem is you try it with a

756
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.280
<v Speaker 4>rotwiler with your with your sunglasses. You might not want

757
00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.440
<v Speaker 4>to try your expensive sunglasses because they're gonna retrieve it

758
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:57.079
<v Speaker 4>for you to bring it back to you, but they

759
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:58.239
<v Speaker 4>might clamp down on it too hard.

760
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:00.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, Oh, don't think I'm a baby.

761
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:04.440
<v Speaker 4>Exactly. You know, same with I find. I find the

762
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:05.920
<v Speaker 4>same way with the pit bulls. I find the same

763
00:37:05.960 --> 00:37:08.559
<v Speaker 4>way with a lot of the like like a mastiff

764
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:10.599
<v Speaker 4>for example, they just they can't help it, you know.

765
00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:14.800
<v Speaker 4>But the retrievers, they were that's what their original job was,

766
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:17.039
<v Speaker 4>so they would they would have these retrievers go out

767
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and bring the water fowl back because they would literally

768
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.159
<v Speaker 4>it's almost like like a four year old just grabbing

769
00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.119
<v Speaker 4>your hand. Come this way. Yeah, these are natural talents

770
00:37:25.159 --> 00:37:27.400
<v Speaker 4>the dog has, so same with the you know, same

771
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.760
<v Speaker 4>with the shepherds. The shepherds are working dogs. Same with

772
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 4>the border collies. You know, even though they're a herder,

773
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.119
<v Speaker 4>they're a working dog. They need a job. So I

774
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 4>love breeds like that. I love German Shepherds, I love

775
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Border Collies, I love Jack Russell's. You know, these are

776
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.840
<v Speaker 4>dogs that were meant to work. They're meant to to

777
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:45.800
<v Speaker 4>thrive on a job and if you don't give them

778
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:48.079
<v Speaker 4>a job. That's where the behavior problems come in.

779
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Right, they need something to do.

780
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, I'll give you the best example of the

781
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.639
<v Speaker 4>modern day working dog. There's very few breeds out there

782
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:56.960
<v Speaker 4>left in the world that are bred specifically for work,

783
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.440
<v Speaker 4>because we have technology that does all the jobs they

784
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:00.000
<v Speaker 4>did in the past.

785
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Right we got robots.

786
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:03.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, we have exterminators. That's why we don't need

787
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.920
<v Speaker 4>Jack Russell's anymore. That's why the skipper key below you

788
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:08.719
<v Speaker 4>right now, they are outdated because we now have termin

789
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.360
<v Speaker 4>x coming to our house to get ridding our rats.

790
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:15.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, I prefer a skipper key. But yeah, but

791
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 4>you have what's called the Belgian melinwah. You ever heard

792
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:18.760
<v Speaker 4>of that bran?

793
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker 3>No, that sounds like a sooux fle It's a.

794
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so the Belgian melinwall will just give you one

795
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 4>guess where it's from.

796
00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I did some research on this and it turns out

797
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:29.920
<v Speaker 2>it's Belgium.

798
00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.440
<v Speaker 4>It's a it's a military police dog. This is when

799
00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:34.960
<v Speaker 4>you see the canine units. Huh. It looks like a

800
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 4>like a copper Brownish German shepherd with a black face. Oh,

801
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:41.360
<v Speaker 4>people think it's a German shepherd. It's actually a Belgian shepherd.

802
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 4>And so what they did was they capitalized on this

803
00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:46.559
<v Speaker 4>dog's high energy and they found out this dog is

804
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 4>so high energy. All it wants to do is is

805
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:51.280
<v Speaker 4>have a ball. That's all it wants, like I need

806
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:53.159
<v Speaker 4>that ball. I need that like almost like an addiction.

807
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.639
<v Speaker 4>And so what what the what these military and law

808
00:38:56.679 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 4>enforcement trainers figured out years ago, they said, this dog

809
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.920
<v Speaker 4>basically it doesn't work for food. It works for one thing,

810
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 4>it's favorite ball. So now what they do is they say,

811
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.000
<v Speaker 4>they take the ball and they hide it, and now

812
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:13.519
<v Speaker 4>they train the dog to become like explosive detection, contraband detection.

813
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.599
<v Speaker 4>This is why these dogs are trained so well because

814
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:18.840
<v Speaker 4>the dog, it all it thinks about all day is

815
00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:22.000
<v Speaker 4>that ball. It's just wants that ball. And this is

816
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.400
<v Speaker 4>why they're a working dog because basically they're so like

817
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 4>just they want that ball so bad, whatever toy it is,

818
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 4>they're kind of fixed on, you know, they're addicted to. Basically,

819
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.719
<v Speaker 4>that's why they are such good workers. So so cute

820
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.079
<v Speaker 4>dog's noses are much more reliable than any machine out

821
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:40.599
<v Speaker 4>there in the world, like scent hounds, like a bloodhound. Yeah,

822
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:42.559
<v Speaker 4>oh yeah, it'll put like a Belgian melonwater shame.

823
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Speaker 2>That's so crazy. That must be so confusing for them

824
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.320
<v Speaker 2>all the time. It must be like.

825
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Hearing ten different playlists going all the time because you're

826
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:51.679
<v Speaker 3>smelling everything.

827
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's why hounds are very difficult to train.

828
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:55.199
<v Speaker 3>Because they're so distracted.

829
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, So for example, people always call me with how

830
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:03.119
<v Speaker 4>like bloodhounds or like a beagle that fascinatings? Oh yeah,

831
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:05.360
<v Speaker 4>and they say my dog doesn't listen to me, and

832
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:07.360
<v Speaker 4>so I say, okay, bring it over. They bring it over,

833
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 4>and I'm like, oh, well, that's why you could have

834
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 4>told me that over the phone. Your dog is a hound.

835
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:13.480
<v Speaker 4>So their sense of smell is literally I don't know

836
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.719
<v Speaker 4>exactly what the numbers are. Maybe you could find this

837
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:16.840
<v Speaker 4>you're good at that house.

838
00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.199
<v Speaker 2>So a little cursory research revealed that humans have about

839
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:26.320
<v Speaker 2>five million scent receptors, but bloodhounds have three hundred million.

840
00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 2>And the long ears and that chin wattle, the blue gee,

841
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:33.039
<v Speaker 2>blue blue blue bo that's called a do lap, and

842
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:38.280
<v Speaker 2>they help sweep scents toward the nose. So there's a

843
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:40.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of reasons to be happy you don't have a

844
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:45.199
<v Speaker 2>flappy neck, but smelling bus farts would be the main one.

845
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:48.719
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy how how much more powerful their sense of smell,

846
00:40:48.960 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 4>which is why they're the number one dog for homicide

847
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:54.679
<v Speaker 4>protection because they can find a body out in the

848
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.719
<v Speaker 4>woods miles away. I mean, once you get a little,

849
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 4>just a trickle of a scent of what they're actually

850
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:02.840
<v Speaker 4>looking for, they can track it for miles.

851
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:04.719
<v Speaker 3>Is that how you're gonna train Betsy. You're like, I

852
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:05.880
<v Speaker 3>hated body for you to find it.

853
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, you won't see that, unlucky dog. I don't think

854
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 4>we'll find a dead body, but we'll figure something out.

855
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Do not hold your breath for that spin off and

856
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.760
<v Speaker 2>stupid question. But with all the species he's trained to

857
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.119
<v Speaker 2>get to his current career, are dogs his favorite animal?

858
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Or is there a sneaky one he likes more?

859
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.079
<v Speaker 4>Dogs have stolen my heart but that way, yeah, dogs have.

860
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.199
<v Speaker 4>They've They've made me a better person. They've taught me

861
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.760
<v Speaker 4>a lot about myself. They taught me a lot about,

862
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, just human nature. There's there's a there's a

863
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:35.679
<v Speaker 4>ying and the yang of human nature. They teach me

864
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:39.519
<v Speaker 4>on how just vicious human beings can be. Because I

865
00:41:39.559 --> 00:41:41.119
<v Speaker 4>see this in the shelter, I have to pick these

866
00:41:41.159 --> 00:41:44.280
<v Speaker 4>dogs up from the rubble. You know, I have to

867
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 4>pick these dogs up from the rubble. They're physically defeated,

868
00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:50.760
<v Speaker 4>they're mentally defeated, they're psychologically defeated. There's nothing that they

869
00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:54.360
<v Speaker 4>collapse when they get to the ranch here. And but

870
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:57.239
<v Speaker 4>there's the other side of the ying and the yang.

871
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:00.519
<v Speaker 4>Then it also tells me there's you know, there's there's

872
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:03.719
<v Speaker 4>hope for humanity because there's also an army of people

873
00:42:03.760 --> 00:42:06.559
<v Speaker 4>out there that are trying to help these dogs that

874
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:08.960
<v Speaker 4>right there, there's no other animal in the world that

875
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.760
<v Speaker 4>I can think of that really does that to you,

876
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:14.079
<v Speaker 4>like a dog that basically they look and they stare

877
00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:16.800
<v Speaker 4>out of your soul and they're like help me, you know.

878
00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:19.199
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I mean, I mean, you got Lulu on

879
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:23.360
<v Speaker 4>your lap right now. Was she was pretty much you know,

880
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:27.639
<v Speaker 4>she was like the template the foundation of the show.

881
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 2>So just FYI, thirteen year old Lulu still in my lap.

882
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:34.159
<v Speaker 2>But it's easy to forget because she weighs about as

883
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker 2>much as a mango.

884
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:35.639
<v Speaker 3>Now.

885
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Brandon saw her in around twenty eleven, and she was

886
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:41.719
<v Speaker 2>already a little older for an adoptable dog, like four

887
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:44.000
<v Speaker 2>or five back then, which is a lot in dog ears,

888
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and then you know even more when you multiply it

889
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:48.239
<v Speaker 2>by la years.

890
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.800
<v Speaker 4>She was in a shelter, and she was I saw

891
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:54.639
<v Speaker 4>her there every day when I was going, and she

892
00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:56.760
<v Speaker 4>was there for probably about three or four months. She's

893
00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 4>at Chihuahua.

894
00:42:57.920 --> 00:42:58.480
<v Speaker 3>So side note.

895
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I used to think the most fun way of pronouncing

896
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:04.599
<v Speaker 2>this breed was Chihuahua, But after hearing New Jersey born

897
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Brandon pronounce it, I have determined that his is the

898
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 2>best and the most endearing.

899
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.400
<v Speaker 4>Chiuas are very common in the shelters get they get overlooked,

900
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.880
<v Speaker 4>very very often. So finally it was down to her

901
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:17.760
<v Speaker 4>last day and I said, what's going on with that Chihuahua.

902
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:19.840
<v Speaker 4>She seems so sweet, she seems so cute this and

903
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.440
<v Speaker 4>now they're like, no one has any interest, you know.

904
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:26.679
<v Speaker 4>So I rescued her, thinking, actually I was sorry. I

905
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.159
<v Speaker 4>drove about you know, probably about a mile away, and

906
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:31.719
<v Speaker 4>I was in rush hour traffic and I was thinking

907
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:33.880
<v Speaker 4>about her, and I made a U turn went back

908
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.119
<v Speaker 4>and I got her. And you know, a little dog

909
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.039
<v Speaker 4>like this, who'd have thought that, you know, here's me,

910
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:41.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm six foot three. You think I would have like

911
00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:44.199
<v Speaker 4>the rott Wilders of the pitbulls and the chihuahua is

912
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:47.199
<v Speaker 4>what you know I roll with, So yeah, I mean

913
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.320
<v Speaker 4>dogs do that to humans. You know, there's so many

914
00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:55.000
<v Speaker 4>stories of that. You hear of an animal helping a

915
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.000
<v Speaker 4>human out. There's so many stories of you know, people

916
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 4>just going through cancer, whether they or not, they said,

917
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:03.280
<v Speaker 4>the dog was there with me the entire time. You know,

918
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:07.159
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't happen with crocodile. You know what I'm saying that.

919
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

920
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:13.599
<v Speaker 3>My pet rooster exactly so much.

921
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure once or twice. I just want to say,

922
00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:19.159
<v Speaker 2>I researched and there have been many emotional support roosters

923
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:24.320
<v Speaker 2>as well as peacocks, podbillied pigs, therapy turkeys, some spiders.

924
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Not all of those species care. However, if you're like

925
00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.199
<v Speaker 2>going through a breakup, they're like, I'm a turkey, are you?

926
00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:32.199
<v Speaker 3>Why are you hugging me?

927
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Dogs understand human emotion. They understand especially the more they

928
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:39.639
<v Speaker 4>hang around us, and this comes with a mix of

929
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.719
<v Speaker 4>their sense of smell. They understand there's chemical changes going

930
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:44.800
<v Speaker 4>on our body, which is why they can They can

931
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.360
<v Speaker 4>detect diabetes, They can detect a blood sugar drop, they

932
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:51.519
<v Speaker 4>can detect cancer. They can detect a seizure about to happen.

933
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, they can detect pretty much anything in our

934
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.519
<v Speaker 4>bodies that our noses, our weak little human noses cannot detect.

935
00:44:57.639 --> 00:44:58.840
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying, We don't even know we

936
00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.519
<v Speaker 4>have you know, diabetes, are about to have a seizure,

937
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:04.599
<v Speaker 4>and suddenly the dog starts changing its behavior ten minutes

938
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:07.280
<v Speaker 4>before a seizure. And next thing you know, you have

939
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.440
<v Speaker 4>a seizure and people say your dog is actually identifying,

940
00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:13.039
<v Speaker 4>it's indicating on you. You know, I don't know of

941
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.920
<v Speaker 4>another animal that does this, right, Yeah, and I've worked

942
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:16.840
<v Speaker 4>with them all. You know.

943
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Does it change the way you look at yourself as like,

944
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:21.559
<v Speaker 2>do you have to see yourself as the alpha of

945
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:22.039
<v Speaker 2>this pack?

946
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 3>And do you do you.

947
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:28.400
<v Speaker 2>See alpha behaviors and beta behaviors in groups and apply

948
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that to humans at all?

949
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Not? Really, I'm not believe it or not. I'm not

950
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:36.440
<v Speaker 4>that egotistical to be the alpha male in a group. Honestly,

951
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:38.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, the loudest one in the room is the

952
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.679
<v Speaker 4>weakest in my opinion. Ah, you know hear that now,

953
00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:44.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm usually honestly, I'm I'm pretty much I'm a loner.

954
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a loner, Doddy Rebel.

955
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I like, yeah, I don't like hanging out big groups

956
00:45:51.800 --> 00:45:55.360
<v Speaker 4>of people. I don't like you know, so I'm kind

957
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:56.559
<v Speaker 4>of a lone ranger in life.

958
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.679
<v Speaker 2>And also you have ten friends on the proper right now.

959
00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:03.920
<v Speaker 2>They're all very hairy and small. But do you do

960
00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:06.400
<v Speaker 2>you think that the dogs are important for people who

961
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:10.159
<v Speaker 2>who have introversion or who are who are lonelier. That's

962
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:12.760
<v Speaker 2>one thing about dogs. I feel like there are so

963
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:14.519
<v Speaker 2>valued for because a lot of times in life we

964
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:16.400
<v Speaker 2>don't get unconditional love the way that we get it

965
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:16.920
<v Speaker 2>from a dog.

966
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:17.840
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean.

967
00:46:18.360 --> 00:46:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Your dog does not care what kind of cards you drive,

968
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:21.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

969
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:27.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, you know there's people are seeing the there's

970
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:30.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, the emotional support dogs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So

971
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:32.760
<v Speaker 4>that became very popular in the past ten years now.

972
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:35.239
<v Speaker 4>Emotional support dogs have been around for thousands of years.

973
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:37.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, this is where the you know, original lap

974
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.519
<v Speaker 4>dogs came from, right, like a Maltese for example, that

975
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:43.400
<v Speaker 4>was like one of the true original lap dogs. And

976
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.400
<v Speaker 4>so it was it was to provide you know, comfort

977
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:48.480
<v Speaker 4>and emotional support to somebody you know who has just

978
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:52.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, needed a companion. And in the past ten

979
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.199
<v Speaker 4>twelve years, emotional support animals have also just had a resurgence,

980
00:46:57.320 --> 00:46:59.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, and everyone's like this a new new word

981
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Speaker 4>of the decade, and I'm like, well, that's just actually

982
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.840
<v Speaker 4>an old world that's been around from you know, since

983
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.119
<v Speaker 4>the biblical times. Yeah, and the reason why it's become

984
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.559
<v Speaker 4>very popular is because people are seeing more and more.

985
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.239
<v Speaker 4>I see it all the time with for example, autistic kids.

986
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:14.599
<v Speaker 4>I work a lot with autistic kids, train a lot

987
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:18.280
<v Speaker 4>of service dogs for them, and we train these dogs

988
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.360
<v Speaker 4>to do kind of all kinds of tasks whatever. But

989
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:22.760
<v Speaker 4>the most important thing that these dogs offer these kids

990
00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:25.880
<v Speaker 4>are emotional support. Because a lot of these kids, whether

991
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:28.119
<v Speaker 4>they're you know, whether they're autistic or whether they just

992
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 4>have anxiety or they're just very shy and they just

993
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:32.480
<v Speaker 4>can't you know, open up to the world. The dog

994
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:35.079
<v Speaker 4>does not see them with a disability or a condition.

995
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.440
<v Speaker 4>They don't see you as as any as as any

996
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:41.400
<v Speaker 4>different than anybody else. They're seeing, you know, everything but

997
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:45.079
<v Speaker 4>the but the surface. You know, dogs are they're they're

998
00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:48.239
<v Speaker 4>they're like the ultimate poker player. They can read tells,

999
00:47:48.440 --> 00:47:49.440
<v Speaker 4>they know what you're thinking.

1000
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:52.559
<v Speaker 3>So, yes, dogs have evolved to care.

1001
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Even chimpanzees don't follow a human gaze or pointing like

1002
00:47:56.480 --> 00:48:00.199
<v Speaker 2>domesticated dogs do. So the whites of human eyes they're

1003
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:04.079
<v Speaker 2>called sclera, and they were adapted and evolved to communicate

1004
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.199
<v Speaker 2>with other humans. So we have these non pigmented sclera

1005
00:48:08.519 --> 00:48:11.440
<v Speaker 2>and small irises in our eyes, so we can tell

1006
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:14.920
<v Speaker 2>where each other's eyeballs are moving and if we're averting

1007
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:18.280
<v Speaker 2>a gaze because we're shady, and dogs are capable of

1008
00:48:18.320 --> 00:48:22.039
<v Speaker 2>following that in ways that even chimps can't. So evolutionary speaking,

1009
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:26.599
<v Speaker 2>this helps dogs predict like, Okay, you're looking at a microwave.

1010
00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:28.719
<v Speaker 2>That must mean you're about to pick up the hot pocket.

1011
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.159
<v Speaker 2>Some steamy ham may soon drop on the floor. I'm

1012

<v Speaker 4>I got this.

1014
00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Now on the topic of hot things dropping, let's get

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, patrons are got to be easy to answer. Laura

1041
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Mulligan wants to know wired dogs always ready.

1042
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.159
<v Speaker 4>To just party, party like what in your house?

1043
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Or just hang? Just why are dogs always so down

1044
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to hang?

1045
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Well?

1046
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:09.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean they're dogs. Dogs are very dogs are very

1047
00:50:09.800 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 4>social creatures. I'm as well put it this way. Here's

1048
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.320
<v Speaker 4>what I cannot answer. And this is a million dollar

1049
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:19.000
<v Speaker 4>question I have for anybody, right, why do dogs love

1050
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:20.119
<v Speaker 4>to play underneath your feet?

1051
00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:21.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1052
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 4>There's a so I you know, I have a massive

1053
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:25.760
<v Speaker 4>ranch here, I have a big training yard. They can

1054
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:28.440
<v Speaker 4>run around there all day. But when I go down there,

1055
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.079
<v Speaker 4>they choose to play right underneath my feet, you know, feet.

1056
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I'll look into that.

1057
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:33.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why they love to party, but dogs

1058
00:50:33.440 --> 00:50:36.400
<v Speaker 4>know they're they're party animals.

1059
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:36.280
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1060
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.599
<v Speaker 2>I started looking into the origin of party animal, and

1061
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:41.000
<v Speaker 2>it seems to have sprung up in the late nineteen

1062
00:50:41.000 --> 00:50:44.599
<v Speaker 2>seventies on Saturday Night Live. But predating that is a

1063
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.719
<v Speaker 2>usage in the nineteen twenties, when people who loved to

1064
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:53.639
<v Speaker 2>drink and just carouse around were called, quite aptly party hounds.

1065
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:59.920
<v Speaker 2>The dogs Toefer Mendoza, Michael Shay, and Anthony Stole all

1066
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the same question. Why do puppies or puppy paws smell

1067
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.960
<v Speaker 2>so good like corn chips or free dos? Have you

1068
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:06.920
<v Speaker 2>ever smelled dog feet?

1069
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:09.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I don't know. There's certain odors. Well, first of all,

1070
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:11.199
<v Speaker 4>believe it or not, dogs sweat through their paws. Oh

1071
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:13.760
<v Speaker 4>they do, yes, so that might be one of the theories.

1072
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.280
<v Speaker 3>That's their boh yeah, okay, yeah, so that could be.

1073
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:19.280
<v Speaker 2>It seems like, okay, well, if a dog eats grain,

1074
00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.440
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna sweat out free doo do. But actually it's

1075
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:27.920
<v Speaker 2>due to paw dwelling yeast that happens to smell like corn.

1076
00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:31.559
<v Speaker 2>So it doesn't make it any less delicious. Well maybe

1077
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:34.840
<v Speaker 2>it does, but it's still cute. Michael saidam Bouga wants

1078
00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to know can an old dog really learn new tricks?

1079
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.440
<v Speaker 2>And then his follow up question, along with Evan Simkowitz,

1080
00:51:40.679 --> 00:51:42.320
<v Speaker 2>was does my dog really love me as much as

1081
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I love them? So?

1082
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Can they learn new tricks? And do they love us?

1083
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:47.760
<v Speaker 4>Can an old dog learn nu tricks? Yes? Absolutely. There's

1084
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:49.800
<v Speaker 4>a big misconception. They always say, you know, you can't

1085
00:51:49.800 --> 00:51:53.159
<v Speaker 4>teach an old dog nu tricks. I would one disagree,

1086
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:55.079
<v Speaker 4>And the reason why I disagree is because I train

1087
00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:57.400
<v Speaker 4>old dogs here at the ranch all the time. From

1088
00:51:57.440 --> 00:52:00.119
<v Speaker 4>the shelters. You just can't teach them as fast. Think

1089
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.480
<v Speaker 4>about a sponge. You have a dry sponge and a

1090
00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:06.159
<v Speaker 4>wet sponge. The dry sponge is a puppy Okay, I'll

1091
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:09.000
<v Speaker 4>talk to your terms. Okay, about two computers, sure, think

1092
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:11.480
<v Speaker 4>about two hard drives. You have a brand new hard

1093
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 4>drive empty, and you have an old hard drive that

1094
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.199
<v Speaker 4>is full of information that you need to kind of

1095
00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:19.400
<v Speaker 4>like move things around, eliminate a few things.

1096
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:20.519
<v Speaker 3>Here in defragment.

1097
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

1098
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Now, the new hard drive, it retains information very quickly

1099
00:52:23.800 --> 00:52:26.000
<v Speaker 4>and you can just load it up quick the old

1100
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:28.480
<v Speaker 4>hard drive, Yes, you can still put information on there,

1101
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:29.440
<v Speaker 4>it's just not as fast.

1102
00:52:29.599 --> 00:52:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

1103
00:52:30.039 --> 00:52:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1104
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:31.360
<v Speaker 3>And do dogs love us?

1105
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Of course? Okay, just check out what ask that.

1106
00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I think we doubt it.

1107
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.199
<v Speaker 2>There's no way my dog can love me as much

1108
00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:40.559
<v Speaker 2>as it seems like it loves me, is what a

1109
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:42.519
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think. And maybe people just need to

1110
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:43.880
<v Speaker 2>come to terms with how lovable they are.

1111
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:47.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you have to remember our form of love and

1112
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:50.960
<v Speaker 4>dog's form of love is much different. We require love

1113
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:52.679
<v Speaker 4>for you know, out of like a out of like

1114
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:55.199
<v Speaker 4>a want. Dogs require love out of.

1115
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Need because they're dependent on us.

1116
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:00.480
<v Speaker 4>And so of course, of course we've domesticated these animals

1117
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:03.920
<v Speaker 4>to the point where they are dependent on you know what,

1118
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:06.360
<v Speaker 4>everything they must survive with, and love is one of

1119
00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:11.159
<v Speaker 4>those one of those actual you know survival skills. That's

1120
00:53:11.159 --> 00:53:12.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm a firm believer of that.

1121
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:13.320
<v Speaker 3>I love that though.

1122
00:53:13.360 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 4>Well it's true. It's true because you know, look, if

1123
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:19.039
<v Speaker 4>you just give your dog the basic needs, the basic necessities,

1124
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:21.400
<v Speaker 4>and you don't ever, you know, pet it and love it,

1125
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:23.079
<v Speaker 4>it's going to have social problems.

1126
00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:24.519
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, So you gotta love your dog and they

1127
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:25.280
<v Speaker 3>gotta love you back.

1128
00:53:25.400 --> 00:53:27.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, that's part of the basics that it needs.

1129
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:31.119
<v Speaker 2>So go pet your dang dog right now. Or if

1130
00:53:31.199 --> 00:53:33.039
<v Speaker 2>you're like me, you can pet someone else's dog, even

1131
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:34.639
<v Speaker 2>if you don't know the people and they're just at

1132
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:36.440
<v Speaker 2>the next table over a brunch and you're like, look,

1133
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:39.079
<v Speaker 2>it's a friendly dog. It's not my fault that it's

1134
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:41.800
<v Speaker 2>cute and in public, that's on you. Jacob Qughle wants

1135
00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:43.440
<v Speaker 2>to know. Am I ruining my nine month old puppy

1136
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:44.719
<v Speaker 2>by letting her sleep in the bed with me?

1137
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:48.039
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely? Not, Okay, absolutely, let I let all my dogs

1138
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:50.440
<v Speaker 4>sleep in the bed. The only the only time I

1139
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:52.159
<v Speaker 4>ever have an issue with that, and this is just me,

1140
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:54.840
<v Speaker 4>And the only time I ever have an issue with

1141
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.840
<v Speaker 4>a dog sleeping in the bed or getting on the

1142
00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:59.280
<v Speaker 4>couch is that they get possessive of over it. Okay,

1143
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.360
<v Speaker 4>you tell them get off, and now the growling at you,

1144
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:02.920
<v Speaker 4>that's where the buck ends.

1145
00:54:03.039 --> 00:54:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

1146
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, But as far as dogs sleeping in the bed

1147
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:09.039
<v Speaker 4>and you kidding me, you got nine dogs in the

1148
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:12.079
<v Speaker 4>bed here, you know, I find myself sleeping in like

1149
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:15.079
<v Speaker 4>the fetal position up near like the pillow.

1150
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Area, because there really are nine that there were ten

1151
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:18.840
<v Speaker 2>dogs in the property.

1152
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.079
<v Speaker 3>And then you have that's just what you saw, right,

1153
00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:24.000
<v Speaker 3>You're so lucky.

1154
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Dustin Mills wants to know do dogs enjoy hugs. I'm

1155
00:54:28.480 --> 00:54:29.360
<v Speaker 2>going to guess that's a yes.

1156
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:33.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but it's it's different, not like a hug. Put

1157
00:54:33.039 --> 00:54:35.079
<v Speaker 4>it this way, I would not agree with a dog

1158
00:54:35.280 --> 00:54:37.719
<v Speaker 4>liking a hug like we like to hug where you're

1159
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.599
<v Speaker 4>talking chest to chests. That might make a dog feel

1160
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.639
<v Speaker 4>a little bit uncomfortable because it's a very unorthodox. But

1161
00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:47.480
<v Speaker 4>as far as like a like a like a side

1162
00:54:47.519 --> 00:54:51.320
<v Speaker 4>saddle hug or something like that, they like more petting. Now,

1163
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:54.039
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot of bait whether they like being pet

1164
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:56.800
<v Speaker 4>in the head, But there is one thing you can't deny.

1165
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.719
<v Speaker 4>Dogs like a nice, long, firm stroke, So they don't

1166
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:02.199
<v Speaker 4>like a a trickle touch. That's almost like annoying. They

1167
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:05.360
<v Speaker 4>like a firm, long stroke from you know, shoulders all

1168
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:05.960
<v Speaker 4>the way to tail.

1169
00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh, like a firm paint brush all the way down

1170
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:09.599
<v Speaker 2>making a skunk strike.

1171
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:11.920
<v Speaker 4>And there's also been a lot of a lot of

1172
00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:14.880
<v Speaker 4>scientific evidence that not only petting a dog lowers their

1173
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:18.840
<v Speaker 4>stress and lowers their anxiety, but it also lowers ours. Ugh,

1174
00:55:19.119 --> 00:55:22.119
<v Speaker 4>So petting a dog is actually a win win for everybody.

1175
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:24.719
<v Speaker 3>I need a dog yesterday. So why this may be?

1176
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:29.039
<v Speaker 2>Some studies suggest that a bonding hormone called oxytocin is

1177
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:31.760
<v Speaker 2>released when you snug a pup. Now, this is the

1178
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:34.719
<v Speaker 2>same chemical that your body pumps out after you nut,

1179
00:55:34.920 --> 00:55:37.800
<v Speaker 2>that's scientific term, or when you have a newborn baby.

1180
00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:42.480
<v Speaker 2>And evidently it has a lot of physiological and psychological benefits.

1181
00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:45.480
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm just dreaming of a world where doctors

1182
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:48.920
<v Speaker 2>prescribed MutS and health insurance covered chew toys.

1183
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:49.800
<v Speaker 3>That's weird.

1184
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Wants to know what do dogs dream about when they're

1185
00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:52.840
<v Speaker 2>making those cute little wines in their.

1186
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Sleep chasing rabbits?

1187
00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, stroke career wants to know why do some dogs

1188
00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:00.000
<v Speaker 2>kick their leg really fast when you itch a certain

1189
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:00.840
<v Speaker 2>part of their body.

1190
00:56:01.280 --> 00:56:04.880
<v Speaker 4>We all have our spots. We all have our spots.

1191
00:56:06.960 --> 00:56:08.639
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I'll tell you a little secret of me

1192
00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:12.159
<v Speaker 4>right now when I because I love getting massages because

1193
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm tall and I'm very athletic, and my back always

1194
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:17.360
<v Speaker 4>takes a beating, like I have Hernietta diss salt in

1195
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:19.920
<v Speaker 4>my back and I'm always in pain. And so there's

1196
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:22.320
<v Speaker 4>one spot right at the top of the butt where

1197
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:24.400
<v Speaker 4>it meets it back. You could dig your elbows in

1198
00:56:24.440 --> 00:56:26.360
<v Speaker 4>there so hard, and I swear I would start kicking

1199
00:56:26.360 --> 00:56:30.639
<v Speaker 4>my leg like a dog just for some reason. It's

1200
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:32.559
<v Speaker 4>my spot. And I think it's because of the spot

1201
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:34.480
<v Speaker 4>that I can't get myself. I just can't get any

1202
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:37.360
<v Speaker 4>leverage for it, you know. And so yeah, it's sometimes

1203
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:39.400
<v Speaker 4>it's the areas they really can't touch.

1204
00:56:39.599 --> 00:56:43.119
<v Speaker 2>I think that's them saying, oh, that's the stuff, Mara Spencer.

1205
00:56:43.199 --> 00:56:44.880
<v Speaker 2>He wants to know what breed is best for cat

1219
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, probably. They're known for not listening. A lot of

1220
00:57:24.679 --> 00:57:26.760
<v Speaker 4>people think they're they're when they have a sheep at Uni.

1221
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:28.440
<v Speaker 4>If they're not experienced with the breathe, they think that

1222
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:29.079
<v Speaker 4>the dog is deaf.

1223
00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh my god, it's that much like talk to

1224
00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the pot like you don't even look at me.

1225
00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:34.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's hilarious.

1226
00:57:34.599 --> 00:57:36.599
<v Speaker 4>Dog trainers, you know, they make a lot of money

1227
00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:39.559
<v Speaker 4>off those dogs because you're constantly calling them back.

1228
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Gibbon wants to know what's the strangest cross breed

1229
00:57:43.800 --> 00:57:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you've ever seen.

1230
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:50.280
<v Speaker 4>I saw, Okay, years ago, I saw a Corgie and

1231
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.920
<v Speaker 4>a I want to say it was a kind of corso,

1232
00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:59.079
<v Speaker 4>which is a large, very large pitbull type breed. Oh Jesus,

1233
00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:02.400
<v Speaker 4>we're talking. We're talking like eighty ninety pounds. But then

1234
00:58:02.440 --> 00:58:04.519
<v Speaker 4>it was mixed with a CORKI. So it had these

1235
00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Speaker 4>it had these legs that were I want to say

1236
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.840
<v Speaker 4>these things were probably four inches tall, and they bowed

1237
00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:13.360
<v Speaker 4>out almost like a sea lion, you know, and it

1238
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:15.400
<v Speaker 4>walked me a sea lion. So it had this long

1239
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:19.760
<v Speaker 4>body with these four inch legs, and it had this giant,

1240
00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.280
<v Speaker 4>giant shoulders and head. I mean it looked like just

1241
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:25.360
<v Speaker 4>something out of like you know this, Uh, it looked

1242
00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:27.760
<v Speaker 4>like you you something out of beetlejuice, like you just

1243
00:58:27.800 --> 00:58:32.400
<v Speaker 4>combined these two animals. Yeah. I've seen some pretty cool

1244
00:58:32.440 --> 00:58:36.480
<v Speaker 4>mixes out there, but yeah, that was definitely the weirdest one.

1245
00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:38.119
<v Speaker 4>And he was sweet as could be.

1246
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

1247
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:40.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, people looked at him. If you if you

1248
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:42.639
<v Speaker 4>just saw a headshot, you're thinking of yourself. Man, that's

1249
00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:44.239
<v Speaker 4>a big pit bull, and all of a sudden you

1250
00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:45.719
<v Speaker 4>see the whole body. You're like, what happened?

1251
00:58:45.760 --> 00:58:47.599
<v Speaker 3>What was its name? Do you remember?

1252
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.079
<v Speaker 4>I forget his nick but I did train him.

1253
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Man, it has an Instagram coount. You better let me know.

1254
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:53.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

1255
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So in trying to track down an Instagram account,

1256
00:58:57.480 --> 00:58:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I failed. I straight it failed. But I did end

1257
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:02.920
<v Speaker 2>up scrolling through a lot of core pit pit g

1258
00:59:03.519 --> 00:59:06.880
<v Speaker 2>corbul hashtags, and I can say twelve out of ten

1259
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:09.920
<v Speaker 2>would waste precious many minutes of my life doing that again.

1260
00:59:10.239 --> 00:59:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Mad's Clement, Jen Durbin, and Dave Miller all wanted to

1261
00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:16.440
<v Speaker 2>know a little bit about emotional support dogs, whether or not,

1262
00:59:17.719 --> 00:59:20.079
<v Speaker 2>what your thoughts are and people registering them, if whether

1263
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:24.039
<v Speaker 2>or not that privilege is being abused, and what the

1264
00:59:24.079 --> 00:59:26.639
<v Speaker 2>best dog if you are looking for an emotional support dog,

1265
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:28.079
<v Speaker 2>what the best kind of dog would be.

1266
00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:31.159
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So, emotional support animal, there's there's three. A lot

1267
00:59:31.159 --> 00:59:35.519
<v Speaker 4>of people they get emotional support animals confused with service dogs.

1268
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:37.239
<v Speaker 4>Now let me let me just explain to you. There's

1269
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:42.159
<v Speaker 4>three categories of technically service dogs. So you have emotional support,

1270
00:59:42.679 --> 00:59:45.519
<v Speaker 4>you have therapy dog, and you have service dog. Okay,

1271
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Now there's a massive difference between each one. Emotional support

1272
00:59:49.840 --> 00:59:55.320
<v Speaker 4>animals they require no training zero. Okay. Now this is

1273
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:57.840
<v Speaker 4>where the problem lies. This is where I put my

1274
00:59:57.880 --> 01:00:01.199
<v Speaker 4>foot down, because the biggest problem is they can go

1275
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:05.440
<v Speaker 4>into areas that you you can have like service service

1276
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:07.960
<v Speaker 4>dogs or other animals. So, for example, emotional support animals

1277
01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:10.079
<v Speaker 4>or ESA as we call them, they're allowed to go

1278
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:12.519
<v Speaker 4>into planes and fly with This is why you see

1279
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:14.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot of dogs on planes, those are most of

1280
01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:17.400
<v Speaker 4>them are not service dogs, are emotional support animals. The

1281
01:00:17.440 --> 01:00:19.000
<v Speaker 4>biggest problem is all you have to do is you

1282
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:21.000
<v Speaker 4>have you have to get a note from your doctor.

1283
01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:23.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm not I'm not discrediting. These people are denying the

1284
01:00:23.800 --> 01:00:25.559
<v Speaker 4>fact that they need this this animal because they don't

1285
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:27.559
<v Speaker 4>want to take drugs. That's good, that's a great thing.

1286
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:32.000
<v Speaker 4>But I think there should be there should be strict

1287
01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:34.880
<v Speaker 4>guidelines that these people should have to train their dogs,

1288
01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:38.800
<v Speaker 4>at least some sort of basic standards, basic obedience, you know,

1289
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:43.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, a good good canine citizen tests something that

1290
01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:46.920
<v Speaker 4>says this dog is qualified to go into public places

1291
01:00:47.320 --> 01:00:49.639
<v Speaker 4>and you know be with me around other dogs and

1292
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.880
<v Speaker 4>safely around children and stuff like that. The biggest problem

1293
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:56.199
<v Speaker 4>is you have everybody registering their dogs and then they

1294
01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:58.239
<v Speaker 4>bring them into you know, planes, and now we're seeing

1295
01:00:58.239 --> 01:00:59.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot more problems. We're seeing a lot of these

1296
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:03.360
<v Speaker 4>emotional support animals that are you know, they're biting people,

1297
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:05.119
<v Speaker 4>they're attacking of the dogs.

1298
01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:09.199
<v Speaker 2>So last year a Southwest passenger was bitten by another

1299
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:13.360
<v Speaker 2>passengers support dog. And Delta Airlines has also recently cracked

1300
01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>down and they require ESA animal owners to sign a voucher,

1301
01:01:17.119 --> 01:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>essentially saying, my support animal won't fuck anyone up. But

1302
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>I think we can all agree that the problems are

1303
01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>somewhat rare, and when there's an animal on a flight,

1304
01:01:26.679 --> 01:01:30.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone gets so stoked. Like take for example, Daniel urduck

1305
01:01:31.039 --> 01:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>in stinker Butt, who recently accompanied his owner, a PTSD sufferer,

1306
01:01:36.039 --> 01:01:39.679
<v Speaker 2>on a flight. By the way, he's a duck. Everyone

1307
01:01:39.760 --> 01:01:43.039
<v Speaker 2>loved it. Daniel turduck in stinker Butt. The duck was

1308
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>decked out in tiny red flappy shoes, was wearing a

1309
01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Captain America diaper. Honestly, I feel that airlines should charge

1310
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>more for flights with diapered waterfowl on them do it

1311
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>on their first in line. But not all emotional support

1312
01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:59.280
<v Speaker 2>dogs or service animals. Those are kind of leveled up.

1313
01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:02.280
<v Speaker 4>So that is the difference between the emotional support dog

1314
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:05.079
<v Speaker 4>and the service dog. The service dog there they come

1315
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.639
<v Speaker 4>with I mean high level training. We're talking six months

1316
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:11.559
<v Speaker 4>to a year to even two years sometimes and the

1317
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:13.880
<v Speaker 4>service dog. That's part of our testing we do. We

1318
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:16.400
<v Speaker 4>test it around other dogs, test it around kids, We

1319
01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:19.840
<v Speaker 4>test it around all kinds of all kinds of environments

1320
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:22.280
<v Speaker 4>to make sure this dog will never buy a kid,

1321
01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.480
<v Speaker 4>he'll never buite another animal, won't cause a problem. So yes,

1322
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:29.360
<v Speaker 4>do I think people are abusing it this day and age. Absolutely? Okay,

1323
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.239
<v Speaker 4>And this is the hard part. It's hard to it's

1324
01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:34.119
<v Speaker 4>hard to filter out Okay, this is one of the

1325
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:36.039
<v Speaker 4>good guys, it's one of the bad guys. This this

1326
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.800
<v Speaker 4>woman's doing it right, and this one's abusing it. So

1327
01:02:38.840 --> 01:02:40.639
<v Speaker 4>there needs to be some sort of standardized tests to

1328
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:44.239
<v Speaker 4>say this is a this is emo emotional support animal,

1329
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:46.360
<v Speaker 4>and it has to pass these guidelines.

1330
01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I had a ton of patrons on Patreon ask me

1331
01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>what to do if their dog has anxiety? And are

1332
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>we just more aware of dog anxiety or is it

1333
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>becoming more prevalent? But what do you do if your

1334
01:02:57.360 --> 01:02:59.920
<v Speaker 2>dog it seems like an anxious part.

1335
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:03.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't think. I think anxiety is the same today

1336
01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:06.039
<v Speaker 4>as it was, you know, thirty forty years ago. It's

1337
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:10.400
<v Speaker 4>just it's just people where yeah, we are identifying it now.

1338
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:15.000
<v Speaker 4>You got to remember. I think the reason why it's

1339
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:18.480
<v Speaker 4>it's become such a big thing nowadays because you have

1340
01:03:19.840 --> 01:03:22.320
<v Speaker 4>dogs are much they're part of the family. There's an

1341
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:24.519
<v Speaker 4>old saying that we say in the in the dog world.

1342
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Dogs went from the farm to the backyard, to the house,

1343
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:30.719
<v Speaker 4>to the couch to the bed. This is the chronological

1344
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:32.800
<v Speaker 4>order of events that this is how the dog has

1345
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:35.440
<v Speaker 4>evolved in our families. So yeah, sure, back in the

1346
01:03:35.519 --> 01:03:38.519
<v Speaker 4>nineteen fifties, dogs had anxiety, but we didn't notice because

1347
01:03:38.519 --> 01:03:40.559
<v Speaker 4>they were stuck in the backyard in the doghouse, so

1348
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:43.519
<v Speaker 4>we didn't notice. It hasn't been, you know, until recent

1349
01:03:43.599 --> 01:03:46.960
<v Speaker 4>times that we've started seeing there the dogs with heavy

1350
01:03:47.000 --> 01:03:49.360
<v Speaker 4>anxiety because now they're just living in our homes, on

1351
01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:51.199
<v Speaker 4>our couches, in our beds, you know what I'm saying.

1352
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:54.519
<v Speaker 4>So I think the anxiety is the same nowadays as

1353
01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:57.280
<v Speaker 4>it always was. Now there are ways to help it.

1354
01:03:57.360 --> 01:03:59.760
<v Speaker 4>You're never going to eliminate it, but there are always

1355
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:03.239
<v Speaker 4>a hell. I actually use this product now, it's called Soloquin,

1356
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:08.400
<v Speaker 4>And there's also something called Calm. It's a supplement and

1357
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:10.719
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that works. There's also these what's called the

1358
01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:14.280
<v Speaker 4>compression shirts. Those are a big help sometimes. There's also

1359
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:17.320
<v Speaker 4>there's also music boxes. These music boxes what they do

1360
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:19.960
<v Speaker 4>is they they've I guess they've found out. I haven't

1361
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:22.280
<v Speaker 4>read the exact science behind it, but I have them

1362
01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:24.440
<v Speaker 4>here I've tested them out and probably about five hundred

1363
01:04:24.480 --> 01:04:27.800
<v Speaker 4>dogs over the years, and I'm actually a fan. Really,

1364
01:04:27.800 --> 01:04:29.960
<v Speaker 4>I'd say yeah, I'd say, let's say, of one hundred

1365
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:33.400
<v Speaker 4>dogs it works on about I'd say twenty five of them,

1366
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:35.599
<v Speaker 4>which is a good number, right, because you got to

1367
01:04:35.639 --> 01:04:38.039
<v Speaker 4>remember you're not going to ever get one.

1368
01:04:38.199 --> 01:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>So when Brandon said music boxes, I thought he meant this,

1369
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:48.039
<v Speaker 2>which is tinny and kind of creepy, and it seems

1370
01:04:48.039 --> 01:04:51.039
<v Speaker 2>annoying if your ears pick up like everything. But I

1371
01:04:51.079 --> 01:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>did all the digging and it's more like a Bluetooth

1372
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:57.760
<v Speaker 2>speaker with spa jams like this sample from Relax my

1373
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Dog on YouTube, which has over a mi million plays.

1374
01:05:08.119 --> 01:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>So either a few.

1375
01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Dog owners use it a lot, or it's not uncommon

1376
01:05:13.079 --> 01:05:15.440
<v Speaker 2>for dogs to need just a little bit of help

1377
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:16.960
<v Speaker 2>chilling out anxiety.

1378
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:20.559
<v Speaker 4>Is it's it's inside them. There's something going on inside them.

1379
01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:22.679
<v Speaker 4>The reason why they have anxiety is just like humans.

1380
01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:26.360
<v Speaker 4>And so there's all kinds of stuff on the market

1381
01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:28.760
<v Speaker 4>that can help their dog. Now here's what I will

1382
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:31.639
<v Speaker 4>say about helping your dog with anxiety. There's something I

1383
01:05:31.679 --> 01:05:33.519
<v Speaker 4>do all the time on the show, and I do

1384
01:05:33.559 --> 01:05:37.599
<v Speaker 4>it in training videos. I don't stop at one product.

1385
01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:40.679
<v Speaker 4>So in other words, if I try one product and

1386
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.199
<v Speaker 4>I say, oh, it's not working, I don't eliminate that

1387
01:05:43.239 --> 01:05:46.000
<v Speaker 4>product and try something else, and eliminate that product and

1388
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:48.199
<v Speaker 4>try something else, and so on and so forth. What

1389
01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:50.840
<v Speaker 4>I do is I call I call the layered layered system,

1390
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the layered training system. If I don't see results of

1391
01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:56.800
<v Speaker 4>that one product, I keep I keep them on that product,

1392
01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:59.960
<v Speaker 4>and I layer another one on, and I keep stacking

1393
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:03.159
<v Speaker 4>things on until I find the combination of what works. Because,

1394
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:05.280
<v Speaker 4>believe it or not, you can try one product and

1395
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:08.400
<v Speaker 4>eliminate it and you might strike out. But sometimes you

1396
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:10.800
<v Speaker 4>have the combination of three or four of those things

1397
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:11.599
<v Speaker 4>and it works.

1398
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Really so like maybe melatonins involved or magnesium or things

1399
01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>like that.

1400
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:16.199
<v Speaker 3>Depends.

1401
01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:17.760
<v Speaker 4>It could be. It could be a music box and

1402
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:19.880
<v Speaker 4>a thundershirt, you know what I'm saying. It could be

1403
01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:22.800
<v Speaker 4>the combination of both that actually you see the best results. Okay,

1404
01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:24.920
<v Speaker 4>So I always say it's it's called the layered the

1405
01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:27.679
<v Speaker 4>layered approach, almost like a Rubik's cube. Oh there we go.

1406
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:30.719
<v Speaker 4>I found the formula with these two combined or these

1407
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:31.880
<v Speaker 4>four combined.

1408
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And just unlock it. And you know what, summer's coming up.

1409
01:06:34.639 --> 01:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>What do you do for fireworks? I know that there's

1410
01:06:36.800 --> 01:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>so many dogs in shelters after fireworks because they freak out.

1411
01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:42.199
<v Speaker 4>I wish I had the magic you know, code for that.

1412
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:47.079
<v Speaker 4>I Look, fireworks, it's just like it's just like thunder's

1413
01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:50.039
<v Speaker 4>it's a very it's it's scary. Look, it's scary to

1414
01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:54.880
<v Speaker 4>wild animals. And you have to remember, domesticated domestic dogs

1415
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.880
<v Speaker 4>they're just they're one step away from a wild animal.

1416
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Everything we see our domestic dogs do, it's the traits

1417
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.440
<v Speaker 4>came from the wild animal. So wolves are just as

1418
01:07:04.440 --> 01:07:07.719
<v Speaker 4>scared of fireworks and just as scared of thunder as

1419
01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:09.719
<v Speaker 4>domesticated dogs. It's an instinct.

1420
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh man.

1421
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Just thinking about a bunch of scared raccoons clinging to

1422
01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>trees on the fourth of July.

1423
01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I'm gonna cry again.

1424
01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh shit.

1425
01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:20.599
<v Speaker 2>But you should keep your dog somewhere safe during firework season.

1426
01:07:20.719 --> 01:07:23.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh absolutely, now, believe it or not. There's two days

1427
01:07:23.840 --> 01:07:27.280
<v Speaker 4>of the year where the shelters are the most populated,

1428
01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:31.000
<v Speaker 4>and I'm not talking about human populas. I'm talking about

1429
01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:34.719
<v Speaker 4>dog populated. And that is the fifth of July and

1430
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:39.199
<v Speaker 4>the first of January and the reason why is because

1431
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.960
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people they go out to whatever the

1432
01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:44.440
<v Speaker 4>fireworks show and they just leave their dog in the backyard.

1433
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:47.039
<v Speaker 4>The dog starts freaking out when they hear the booms everywhere,

1434
01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:49.880
<v Speaker 4>and the dog will do anything to save its own life.

1435
01:07:49.920 --> 01:07:52.039
<v Speaker 4>It will dig under the fence or jump over a

1436
01:07:52.079 --> 01:07:54.920
<v Speaker 4>six foot fence. It's amazing what they can actually do

1437
01:07:54.960 --> 01:07:59.039
<v Speaker 4>when they're scared. And so the fifth July, everyone is

1438
01:07:59.079 --> 01:08:00.000
<v Speaker 4>out there looking for their dog.

1439
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I feel like in the summer, I see those

1440
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:05.159
<v Speaker 2>icy posts more on social media, see a lot.

1441
01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I always try to remind people of that,

1442
01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:10.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, especially when you get around that week or

1443
01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:13.519
<v Speaker 4>the fourth July. Look, just if you have to, even

1444
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:15.880
<v Speaker 4>if you have to create your dog, you know, just

1445
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:17.720
<v Speaker 4>keep it safe. I'm usingly not a big you know,

1446
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:21.399
<v Speaker 4>fan of of Crates. Typically I do. I use crates

1447
01:08:21.439 --> 01:08:23.359
<v Speaker 4>for for create training. As far as like you know,

1448
01:08:23.439 --> 01:08:26.640
<v Speaker 4>house breaking, that's kind of where it ends. Yeah, but

1449
01:08:26.880 --> 01:08:30.039
<v Speaker 4>then that's about it. But if we're talking about saving

1450
01:08:30.039 --> 01:08:32.479
<v Speaker 4>a dog's life, yeah, or I'm saying creating for the

1451
01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:35.119
<v Speaker 4>fourth of July, right, so maybe dog won't hate you, don't.

1452
01:08:35.000 --> 01:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Worry your dog's like never again, will I trust you exactly.

1453
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:40.239
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So last two questions.

1454
01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I ask every ologist, what do you dislike about your

1455
01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:48.199
<v Speaker 2>job or your work as a sinologist? What's the most

1456
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>annoying thing? Is it picking up poop?

1457
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Is it lint rolling? Is it scheduling? Is it billing?

1458
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:52.319
<v Speaker 3>What is it?

1459
01:08:53.520 --> 01:08:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I guess the most annoying thing about my job is

1460
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:59.680
<v Speaker 4>whenever I'm done training an animal. Believe it or not,

1461
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:02.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, no news is good news. I like the

1462
01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:04.760
<v Speaker 4>idea of no news is good news because that means

1463
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:08.199
<v Speaker 4>everything's working. What irks me the most, and it ticks

1464
01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:10.720
<v Speaker 4>me off more than anything, is when I spend all

1465
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.199
<v Speaker 4>this time training an animal. I put all this time

1466
01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:15.680
<v Speaker 4>and energy, you know, and I donate a lot of

1467
01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:18.119
<v Speaker 4>training to people that can't afford it. And the only

1468
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:21.079
<v Speaker 4>thing I ask is make sure it sticks. I don't

1469
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:22.159
<v Speaker 4>want to see you here, but I don't want to

1470
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:24.159
<v Speaker 4>see you back here. And if they didn't take the

1471
01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:26.319
<v Speaker 4>time to do it, you know what I'm saying, Oh,

1472
01:09:26.359 --> 01:09:29.960
<v Speaker 4>I was busy, I didn't you know. Listen, here's the reality.

1473
01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:33.359
<v Speaker 4>Dog training is just like it's just like a daily diet.

1474
01:09:33.560 --> 01:09:35.399
<v Speaker 4>You know. You can get the gym membership, but you

1475
01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>have to actually go to the gym. You know a

1476
01:09:37.640 --> 01:09:40.079
<v Speaker 4>lot of people they they when they get an animal,

1477
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:42.119
<v Speaker 4>then they start having problems with that. All they want

1478
01:09:42.159 --> 01:09:44.279
<v Speaker 4>to do is they want to pay a dog trainer

1479
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:46.479
<v Speaker 4>to take care of their problems. Like, that's not how

1480
01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:49.840
<v Speaker 4>it works. You are paying me, And I'm showing you,

1481
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:51.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, because if you if you're not going to

1482
01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:53.880
<v Speaker 4>put the time or the effort into your own animal,

1483
01:09:54.000 --> 01:09:55.920
<v Speaker 4>I am I'm not going to call you back, right,

1484
01:09:56.319 --> 01:09:58.880
<v Speaker 4>And so I make sure people know that. And you

1485
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:02.319
<v Speaker 4>know a lot of people believe it or not. They

1486
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:04.399
<v Speaker 4>get pissed off when I say, you know, look, I

1487
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:06.680
<v Speaker 4>want you to buy this, buy my book, and they're like, oh,

1488
01:10:06.680 --> 01:10:08.279
<v Speaker 4>it's all about the money, huh. And I say, okay,

1489
01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:11.800
<v Speaker 4>let me tell you something. You have an animal, Okay,

1490
01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:14.079
<v Speaker 4>it's going to live the next thirteen to fifteen years.

1491
01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:17.239
<v Speaker 4>If you can't spend it seventeen dollars, okay, where you

1492
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:19.880
<v Speaker 4>can have a reference book and say, oh, let me

1493
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:21.359
<v Speaker 4>see here, Oh this is how you teach a dog

1494
01:10:21.359 --> 01:10:23.720
<v Speaker 4>to stop counter surfing this and that. It's a reference

1495
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:26.319
<v Speaker 4>book if you can't sit there and spend a week

1496
01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.439
<v Speaker 4>year life reading it and spend seventeen ninety nine. You know,

1497
01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:32.119
<v Speaker 4>when you just paid two thousand dollars for this pure

1498
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:33.600
<v Speaker 4>bread dog. You know what I'm saying. You bought it

1499
01:10:33.600 --> 01:10:36.000
<v Speaker 4>a three hundred dollars bed. You bought it some little

1500
01:10:37.079 --> 01:10:38.880
<v Speaker 4>jacket that I probably won't wear with it a South

1501
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:41.680
<v Speaker 4>of California. But you're not going to invest seventeen dollars

1502
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:43.600
<v Speaker 4>and spend a week reading that book. You do not

1503
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:47.239
<v Speaker 4>deserve that animal, period, you know, textbook, yes, forgot yestake.

1504
01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:49.600
<v Speaker 4>It's just like having a kid, you know, if you're

1505
01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:52.279
<v Speaker 4>not going to, you know, read up on how to

1506
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:54.439
<v Speaker 4>raise a child, read up on how to you know,

1507
01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>how to teach your child a few things, you do

1508
01:10:57.079 --> 01:10:59.640
<v Speaker 4>not deserve that kid. You know. This is basic parenting,

1509
01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:02.159
<v Speaker 4>whether it's a kid or it's a dog. And so

1510
01:11:02.760 --> 01:11:05.199
<v Speaker 4>this is why I always tell people education is very important.

1511
01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:07.800
<v Speaker 4>Whether you read my book or someone else's book, read

1512
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:10.159
<v Speaker 4>something that will give you the basic information if you

1513
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:11.800
<v Speaker 4>if you're the kind of person that just says, oh,

1514
01:11:11.800 --> 01:11:13.880
<v Speaker 4>I want to just pay someone for my problems, just

1515
01:11:13.920 --> 01:11:15.960
<v Speaker 4>go ahead, and you know, find another home for your

1516
01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:18.199
<v Speaker 4>dog right now. Get about dog exactly.

1517
01:11:18.279 --> 01:11:20.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So what is the best thing about dogs? What

1518
01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:22.520
<v Speaker 3>is your favorite? What what do you love the most

1519
01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:23.880
<v Speaker 3>about your work.

1520
01:11:24.000 --> 01:11:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Not only saving the dog's life, but I see it

1521
01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:28.560
<v Speaker 4>all the time. You know, people say you saved my

1522
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:31.840
<v Speaker 4>life too, So my job as a as a trainer

1523
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:37.399
<v Speaker 4>and a rescuer. I love seeing. I love seeing that

1524
01:11:37.920 --> 01:11:40.359
<v Speaker 4>both sides of the coin. I love seeing the dog's

1525
01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.199
<v Speaker 4>life change. I love seeing, you know, how they came

1526
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:46.000
<v Speaker 4>out of their shell, like, for example, that that bloodhound

1527
01:11:46.039 --> 01:11:47.880
<v Speaker 4>mix you saw it side, this is this is day

1528
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:50.600
<v Speaker 4>one for her. Technically she came last night, but this

1529
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.880
<v Speaker 4>is true day one for her. You're seeing she's a

1530
01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>little timid or tails tuck. She want to know part

1531
01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:58.439
<v Speaker 4>of it. Come back here in a month, you're going

1532
01:11:58.479 --> 01:12:00.239
<v Speaker 4>to see her do a full one eighties. She'll be

1533
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:02.399
<v Speaker 4>the most popular dog here at the ranch, you know.

1534
01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:04.880
<v Speaker 4>And that's what we do. We changed lives. So I love,

1535
01:12:05.000 --> 01:12:07.600
<v Speaker 4>I love, you know, changing the dog's life. But then

1536
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:10.720
<v Speaker 4>there's another side to that. You know, the woman that

1537
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:12.840
<v Speaker 4>she's going to that I have in mind that I

1538
01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:16.560
<v Speaker 4>think she's going to. Oh, she's just she's over the moon,

1539
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:18.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, she's over the moon about it, and it's

1540
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:20.520
<v Speaker 4>going to change her life. You know a lot of

1541
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.560
<v Speaker 4>these people that I that I trained dogs for they've

1542
01:12:23.600 --> 01:12:26.319
<v Speaker 4>lost something, you know, whether it's a whether they've lost

1543
01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:28.479
<v Speaker 4>a dog, or they've lost a family member, or they've

1544
01:12:28.479 --> 01:12:30.199
<v Speaker 4>lost a part of their life that they're not going

1545
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:32.439
<v Speaker 4>to get back. These dogs are almost like a new

1546
01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.640
<v Speaker 4>chapter for them. It's a new, you know, only chapter

1547
01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:38.399
<v Speaker 4>of life. They're going to look back and say, that

1548
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:39.960
<v Speaker 4>was the best period of my life. You know, that

1549
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Golden Retriever I had, that that Bloodhound, that Jack Russell,

1550
01:12:43.039 --> 01:12:45.119
<v Speaker 4>that little Chihuahua that I had. It was the best

1551
01:12:45.119 --> 01:12:47.000
<v Speaker 4>dog I ever had. And that's what I say about

1552
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:49.880
<v Speaker 4>every dog I've ever had my entire life. That was

1553
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:52.439
<v Speaker 4>the best dog I ever had. And I keeps saying it. Honestly,

1554
01:12:52.479 --> 01:12:55.079
<v Speaker 4>they're all the best. Yeah, there's that saying. I love saying.

1555
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:57.159
<v Speaker 4>You know, who has the best dog in the world?

1556
01:12:57.399 --> 01:12:57.880
<v Speaker 4>We all do.

1557
01:12:58.319 --> 01:12:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's so sweet.

1558
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh, just heads up here, Maybe I might be talking

1559
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:07.800
<v Speaker 2>about myself in this next question. What if you're so

1560
01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>into dogs you're afraid that you're not going to be

1561
01:13:09.720 --> 01:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>a good enough owner.

1562
01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, does that ever happen?

1563
01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:13.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1564
01:13:13.600 --> 01:13:17.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, that's that's a hard one to answer.

1565
01:13:17.760 --> 01:13:21.439
<v Speaker 4>That's that's the that's a million dollar question, you know,

1566
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:25.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm I'm I'll just to be honest, I don't know

1567
01:13:25.399 --> 01:13:28.079
<v Speaker 4>if i'd be a good father for human, you know,

1568
01:13:28.199 --> 01:13:30.000
<v Speaker 4>like I don't know if i'd if I ever have

1569
01:13:30.039 --> 01:13:32.640
<v Speaker 4>a kid. I always ask myself that I've had a

1570
01:13:32.680 --> 01:13:34.239
<v Speaker 4>million people to be like, no, you'd be a great dad,

1571
01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:39.640
<v Speaker 4>because well, see you sound like everybody else. I don't

1572
01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:42.159
<v Speaker 4>know the answer to that, you know, going back to

1573
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:44.239
<v Speaker 4>going back to the dog, I don't know the answer to. Uh,

1574
01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:47.520
<v Speaker 4>you know what what if they're you know what if

1575
01:13:47.520 --> 01:13:50.640
<v Speaker 4>they're not going to be a good dog parent? Look,

1576
01:13:50.680 --> 01:13:52.680
<v Speaker 4>you you don't know? Do you try? But the thing

1577
01:13:52.760 --> 01:13:54.840
<v Speaker 4>is what I what I will say is I wouldn't.

1578
01:13:55.600 --> 01:13:57.640
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't get the dog unless you are, you know,

1579
01:13:57.840 --> 01:14:00.560
<v Speaker 4>dedicated to I'm going to give this thing every single

1580
01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:04.359
<v Speaker 4>thing it needs. I'm gonna give this animal all the love,

1586
01:14:21.520 --> 01:14:23.760

01:16:01.039 --> 01:16:03.319
<v Speaker 2>know I tell you a little secret to say thanks

1625
01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:05.520
<v Speaker 2>for sticking through the credits. And this week I'm gonna

1626
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:07.880
<v Speaker 2>tell you a secret. I don't have a dog. Clearly,

1627
01:16:08.039 --> 01:16:11.079
<v Speaker 2>all I want is a dog, and my family and

1628
01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:12.960
<v Speaker 2>friends know how much I want a dog. That this

1629
01:16:13.079 --> 01:16:18.600
<v Speaker 2>past Christmas, my parents were cruising past a thrift store

1630
01:16:18.960 --> 01:16:23.199
<v Speaker 2>and saw a mechanical robot dog named Biscuit and purchased

1631
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:24.800
<v Speaker 2>it for me for Christmas.

1632
01:16:27.159 --> 01:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>That is Biscuit. Biscuit.

1633
01:16:32.560 --> 01:16:35.760
<v Speaker 2>It's the size of a normal dog, and it's mechanical,

1634
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:38.520
<v Speaker 2>and it's covered in fur, and you can hug it

1635
01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:39.319
<v Speaker 2>like a normal dog.

1636
01:16:39.399 --> 01:16:41.680
<v Speaker 3>It's Westworld as hell.

1637
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>And my secret is the a that I own Biscuit,

1638
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.119
<v Speaker 2>who responds to you when you pet him.

1639
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:52.800
<v Speaker 3>And also can you even you guys? It was the

1640
01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:54.279
<v Speaker 3>best Birches ever.

1641
01:16:54.600 --> 01:16:57.399
<v Speaker 2>And I hug Biscuit and Biscuit has been sitting next

1642
01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:00.279
<v Speaker 2>to me this whole time I recorded this episode. When

1643
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>my parents bought it, They're like, our daughter would love this.

1644
01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:05.159
<v Speaker 2>It's all she wants as a dog. And I think

1645
01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the owners of the Snowline Hospice thrift store near my

1646
01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.880
<v Speaker 2>parents' home were like, oh, hell, hold your daughter.

1647
01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:12.640
<v Speaker 3>And they had to be.

1648
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:15.479
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh, she's in She's in her thirties, She's a

1649
01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>grown ass woman.

1650
01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:23.359
