Welcome everybody, this is the Calm Down Podcast. 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: Hi Aaron. Hi, Aaron's gonna be weirded out. She doesn't 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: like when I do this. But Aaron was just nominated 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: for a Sports Emmy. For those of you that can't see, 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: I am clapping in a circle, long overdue. Don't say anything. 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. I'm proud of you. Then I 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: was excited, Thank you very much. I was really pumped up. 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: It's my first one by myself. I've won before, you know, 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: with College Game Day and the World Series, but never 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: I never thought I'd get nominated for Sideline Reporters. So 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: it was really special, so special that I went to 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: go shave my legs after I heard about it, and 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: I had goose bumps. And you know when you have 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: goose bumps and you're shaving your legs. Not good because 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: the hair is just growing back at the same it's 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: it's a bad combination. And then it's like it's sand 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: paper and now we've got razor burn and it's a 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: whole situation. Yeah, and and later on, not this episode, 20 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: but some other time, we have to talk about shaving 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: around the knees. I have so many patches of hair 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: and I just can't get to it. And the ankle, 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: the ankle is a very difficult spot to get to. 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Let's say about the first time I was shaving my 25 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: legs on the episode of Shaving my Legs sponsored by someone, 26 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: hopefully Kathy Thompson, walked in my legs bleeding everywhere because 27 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: I didn't use water or soaked the first time, I 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: just was hiding in my closet shaving my legs. I 29 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,639 Speaker 1: thought you were gonna shave like this with my razor 30 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: the first time I did it, slice my skin right 31 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: off on my bony legs. Well, you still have bony 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: legs right off the shin shin loss of scars there. 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say you were shaving your 34 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: legs because you're gonna get lucky tonight because you're a nominee. No, 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: there's a Home King's Game, so mom is going to 36 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: bed early. Okay, well, fair enough, all right, So we've 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: got a great episode for you. I know we tease 38 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: last week Aaron that the Ryans were coming on. But 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: our friends are very busy. They have a lot of 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: things to do. Also, I had to change in a 41 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: schedule because I did an interview yesterday with one of 42 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: our favorite receivers in the league, Davante Adams. So much fun. 43 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: So the Ryan's will be on soon enough. But we 44 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: are very very lucky because a guy that I have 45 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: been wanting to talk to since I started watching his 46 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: show on Netflix, Jaws Levrette. What a guy. His show 47 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: is Canine Intervention, and Aaron and I have a huge 48 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: affinity for our pups and all other pups out there, 49 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: so I'm really looking forward to talking to him. Yeah, 50 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: I know, I love that. So your infatuation or love 51 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: for German shepherds, you were raised with them? Is that 52 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: how that happened? I was. I had a German shepherd 53 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: growing up. His name was Hawkeye because my father loved 54 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: the show Mash and my mom did daycare for us 55 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: when we were growing up. Because my mom's like, how 56 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: am I gonna make money while watching these children? So 57 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: she had we had like a whole daycare. So there's 58 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: like ten kids. I mean, now it wouldn't be Dakode, 59 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: it would be illegal in like ten states. But the 60 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: German shepherd was like how how how it is super 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: doscile like good around kids, could like we even and 62 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: out of all of us, no problem. There are no 63 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: chance that I would let Daisy even around my own child, 64 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: which is going to be a problem. I really want 65 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: to ask Jaws about that. My dogs are not good kids. 66 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: They've never been around kids. No, I mean how he's 67 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: never been around kids either. Our issue comes from leish 68 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: aggression and things like that, but you know, around kids. 69 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: I was always kind of afraid, just because he's just 70 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: not good with dogs that get in his face and 71 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: don't give him his space. We did go to Caesar 72 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: Milan a couple of years ago. He was everything. And 73 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: what's interesting and I can't wait to see about our 74 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: interview coming up, is we learned it's all about us. 75 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: It's not about the dog. Like the dog's fine, you're 76 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: the asshole, like you have the problems. How he was overweight, 77 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: he was my firstborn. You know, I'm talking to him 78 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: like a child. I still do I give him anything 79 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: he wants to kind of train him. And what was 80 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: incredible was Caesar just looked at him and he stopped 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: what he was doing and it was like, Okay, you're 82 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: the real deal. Where it's Mommy is like, you want 83 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: me to look like and Caesar is like, well, of course, 84 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the dog's not going to listen to you or pay attention. 85 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: So in the kid area, I think we're good. We 86 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: have enough little kids that were around. He's totally plus 87 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: if a kid's holding a pringle or a cheetoh even better. 88 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: I mean I will worry about a finger or two. 89 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: But you know, we're just how can I have to 90 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: say give it to him when you goes his weight again? 91 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: You um, yeah, but I got a whole I'm gonna 92 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: need jaws for the rest of my life. I might 93 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: have to like build a house out here for him 94 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: and his family to move into because there's no chance 95 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: I trust my dogs around kids. That's the ways away though, 96 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: because I'm not having kids anytime soon. But with that, 97 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: speaking of being a kid, you you asked me about 98 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: having a German shepherd. I know the Andrews house and 99 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: their their love for retrievers. How many retrievers have you 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: guys had in you know, throughout the duration of your life. 101 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: We had Our first baby was Ashley. She was great. 102 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: She lived to about ten or two elve. All our 103 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: golden's lived to about that and then they all developed 104 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: a cancer. God love him, and you and I have 105 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: made each other cry at nights, like talking about our dogs. 106 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: That's another thing. So we had Ashley, we had Emmy 107 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: that was a rescue. Actually Emmy wasn't. Coco was a rescue. 108 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: And then my mom and dad when I left, had 109 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: Cody and share a all. Do you remember my wedding 110 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: when my parents showed up in our golden had passed 111 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 1: away when I was on the flight or my parents 112 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: were on the flight to my wedding. It's I can't imagine, 113 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: first of all, the emotion of like how close you 114 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: are with your family so that you're getting married. I 115 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: think the emotion might have been higher for the loss 116 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: of the of the dog, honestly, of course, and it 117 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: would have been for me too. I mean I talked 118 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: to you about this all the time. If I have 119 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: at least two glasses of wine, I can start making 120 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: myself ball right away about when how he dies. I'm 121 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: going to have to be buried with him, Like I 122 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: cannot go through this world without this dog. Aaron, I 123 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: was texting you because Willis was sitting on the couch 124 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: one night and I sent you a picture I'm like, 125 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 1: he's getting older, he's gonna die. And you're like, don't 126 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: say that, but it's true. We get so attached to 127 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: them and they become Oh speaking of them, look who's 128 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: just got back from the dog Walkers? Because actually, for 129 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: those of you watching on YouTube and there's Willis I, well, 130 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: it's still alive. So that's the good news. Um, I 131 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I don't know how there's the 132 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: reason that they're called me his best friend a lot 133 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: of action, um Man's best friend is because okay, so 134 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: this is maybe a bad idea to have the door open. Um, 135 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: we just love them so much and they are you know, 136 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: like you mentioned, we don't have children, and they are 137 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: our children, and so it's going to be but we don't. 138 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Let's not think about them leaving it. No, no, But 139 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: the night before we got howie you know this was 140 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: Jared and I did it before we got married, like 141 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: literally a couple of weeks before. I remember having thoughts 142 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: to myself like, I don't know if I really want 143 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: this dog. Like we're saying we want it, but I 144 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: don't know if I want it. Because my mom always 145 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: took care of the goldens and I loved them, but 146 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: like I always knew my mom loved our dogs more 147 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: than she loved us. It's just how it happened. And 148 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: now I get it. Like I love Jarrett, but Howie 149 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: is my life. And we were talking this weekend about 150 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: a story to tell about all freaking do anything for 151 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: this dog, like I will. If we're walking down the 152 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: street and there's another dog coming and it looks like 153 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: Jared's not paying attention, I'm like a full blown bouncer. 154 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm great, Like I get in front 155 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: of my dog. But we always like we're the freaking Griswolds. 156 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: We had this incident on the strand during quarantine. We're 157 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: like walking him and we see you know, you see Golden's, 158 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: you see German shepherds and you're like, oh, hey, you 159 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: feel like your family. We saw this golden behind us 160 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and he was gorgeous, really like he was kind of 161 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: far back. We were saying, maybe like a hundred yards away, 162 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: and he was really beautiful, and we just kind of 163 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: waved to the owner like, oh, your dog is so cute. 164 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: He also was huge. How he's seventy pounds. This dog 165 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: was freaking I would say a hundred ten whatever he 166 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: was massive, the dumb ass owner. Were on the strand, 167 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: there's a ton of people. Let's the dog go. The 168 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: dog is running full speed ahead towards Jarrett myself and 169 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: how how for those only for those that don't know 170 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: what the strand is, it's basically a sidewalk, so there's 171 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: this small amount of distance between that in the beach, 172 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: so you're you're in close quarters. Once that dog goes, 173 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: there's nowhere else to go. Okay, there's also bicycles coming, 174 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: people on rollerblades. Like I said to Jared the other day, 175 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: why didn't you run and hide? And he said, because 176 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: if I turned and ran with the dog, I could 177 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: have blown up somebody on rollerblades, on a bike, somebody 178 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: with a baby stroller. So all of a sudden, this 179 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: guy lets the dog go, and Jarrett and I start 180 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: screaming no, no, no, on the strand and people know 181 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: who we are. It's a small community. Our dog is 182 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: sexy like whatever. My husband's want a cup. All of 183 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: a sudden I just get like an offensive lineman. I 184 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: go fucking three point stand hands on the ground, and 185 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: this dog is coming after me and Jared's like it 186 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: could have been a massive It could have been a 187 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: pit bull. It could have been This is my child, 188 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: and I know my dog is going to go after 189 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: this dog and it's going to be a mess. So 190 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: I get down. This dog comes the strand is cement 191 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: with sand. It is very slippdy. The dog comes, I'm 192 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: in a three point stand. It wipes me out. I 193 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: flip in the air like three fucking sixty on my hip. 194 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: Playing there Thursday Night Football this year, Khalil Mack took 195 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: Tristan Worth's from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, flipped him over 196 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: his head and got to Tom Brady. I was Tristan 197 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Worth's and Tom Brady all in one. We're gonna post 198 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: that video because I was re enacting it for Troy 199 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: Aikman dead on. You sent me that. You sent me 200 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: the aftermath of that. Yeah, you have had the one 201 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: where you were getting ready to go to the NFC 202 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: Championship game. This was earlier on in the year. You 203 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: have bruises all over your legs like it's it's I 204 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: just again, this speaks to what you will do for 205 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: your dog. Yeah, I mean that could have been a 206 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: Grott Wilder and Mommy's up in it, and like we 207 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: said to the guy, nothing happened. How he lunged at 208 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: the dog, the dog backed off. Yeah that's right. Um, 209 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: but I said to the owner, what the fuck and 210 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: he goes, I thought you wanted me to let my 211 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: dog go. What you also learned there's very stupid dog owners, 212 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: but we'll get into that later. I definitely so my 213 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: dogs anyone that knows me or has been over you 214 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: included where my dogs are not friendly unless you know them. Like, 215 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: that's okay. I love that, like I've lived and again, 216 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: even Kyle lives in New York at the time, Like 217 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: my husband's not with me all the time. So I 218 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: feel super super safe because I have them, Like I 219 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: there's times where I forget to lock the door, but 220 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it because nothing's getting through this sucker. 221 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: This is totally the line from Pretty Woman. Nothing's getting 222 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: through this sucker. This is the condom of champions right here. 223 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: So nothing's getting through these doors with these dogs here. 224 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: So I do feel very safe, but it's not. They're 225 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: just not warm and friendly with people. So I get 226 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: nervous to have anybody over because it takes them a 227 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: second to But maybe that's just help me with all 228 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: of those things. So but honestly, that's one thing I 229 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: learned with Caesar dogs. Much like people have different personalities. 230 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: You have introverts, you have extroverts, Like, yes, and I 231 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: bummed my dog doesn't socialized totally. Are you bummed about 232 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: your dog and other people? Yes, But that's just the 233 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: way it is, Like I don't even care. I mean, 234 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: I'd rather him be this way and be great with 235 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: our kids, and I know that's what you want vice versa. 236 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: They will be they will, But I have never ever 237 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: felt love like this in my life. And again always 238 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: goes back to drinking. Jur Will be like, you love 239 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: this dog more than daddy, And I'm like, I walk 240 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: in and I'm like, kind of guys, I can say 241 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: hi to my dogs and then Kyld be sitting there. 242 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: He's like, do I get any love? And I'm like, oh, yeah, 243 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: you're fine. He's like, you love your dogs more than 244 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: you love me. I'm like, they were here before you, homie, 245 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,119 Speaker 1: and you know, so it's okay. It's all he understands. 246 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: We love our husbands, but we definitely have a special 247 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: place in our heart for our dogs, and especially I 248 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: mean I remember when I got willis Um. I was 249 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: actually dating someone else and he was like, don't get 250 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: that dog, and I was like, don't tell me what 251 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: to do, and so I got that dog, and that 252 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: dog has been there through it. Oh yeah, I mean 253 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm getting missy. Oh god. Yeah, Like I get how 254 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: his dad died when he was six, Like how his 255 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: dad was actually six years old. So I'm getting super panicky. 256 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: And again, glass of wine. Get me Wayne know that 257 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: because I'm psycho and we know his like he we 258 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: know his family history and when how he was overweight. 259 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: I was trying to check in on his dad's lineage, 260 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: like in his weight and everything, to see how old 261 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: his dad or how much his dad weighs. I remember this. 262 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: We're on vacation in Hawaii. Jared was taking a nap 263 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: and I looked it up. His dad's name was Sinko, 264 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: and I know and he lives in Houston, the family does. 265 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: And I looked up and I found his birth certificate 266 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: and it said born and then death and I was like, 267 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: what what what? And I immediately texted the owners because 268 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: I know them, and they were like, we're so heartbroken. 269 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Six years is not long enough. So now I'm like, 270 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: I can't handle that, like a whole genealogy for dogs, 271 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: is it still a genealogy. I'll tell you who doesn't 272 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: have that bloodline a bloodline his We know his bloodline 273 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: because the way we got him is he is related 274 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: somehow to one of my dogs growing up. My mom 275 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: is a psycho Golden retriever mom that she found the 276 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: bloodline of one of our dogs growing it up to Howie, 277 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: shut up, this is how crazy we are. Oh my god. Okay, 278 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: this is the difference. You and I have a lot 279 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: of similarities and are completely different in this regard. I 280 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: wanted to get this dog the aforementioned conversation when I 281 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: was like dating someone else, He's like, you can't get 282 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: that dog. Was like, I'm getting that dog anyways. It 283 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: was what I believe to be a fifteen pound They 284 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: called them click I was like a mini husky, and 285 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, those dogs are so cute. 286 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. I was with my friend Elizabeth, 287 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: We're in Chicago watching this dog walk across the street, 288 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, I want a dog like that. 289 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: So I go online. I find this dog. Do zero 290 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: research on anything, because that's me. I'm just an impulse fire. 291 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I bought the dog online. Six weeks later it came 292 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: from Kansas. I picked it up at the airport and 293 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you're so cute. Then he kept 294 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: growing and growing and growing. That dog is not what 295 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: the dog was that I bought online. That was a 296 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: straight bait and switch that woman from Kansas, which again 297 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: speaks to me. I never followed up with her. I 298 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: never called her. I wasn't like, hey, yo, you gave 299 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: me a coyote from the backyard. Willis is not that 300 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: dog at all that I thought I was getting. But 301 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: I just went with it, and I'm like, well, here 302 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: we are Willis. And so I did a DNA test 303 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: on him because I tried to have him trained by 304 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: a lot of dog trainers and they were like, does 305 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: he have wolf and him now, all dogs are some 306 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: sort of version of descendant from a wolf, but they're like, 307 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: over a certain percentage, then we can't train him. And 308 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, so I did. I did a 309 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: DNA test and turns out that he had seven percent 310 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: wolf or something in it, which was like a lot 311 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: I guess according to the dog trainer, I'm like, here 312 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: we are, so you wanted a toy poodle and you 313 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: got two socks from dances with wolves? What the hell? 314 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not kidding? Where is she running out 315 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: there a puppy mill? I mean god? And then again, 316 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: you know me, I felt bad. I bought the dogs 317 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: and I got Daisy and she had all kinds of issues. 318 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: But again, however you get your dog is up to 319 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: you with such a personal preference. But I just we 320 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: just love them, and I am just very impressed on 321 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: your ability to do this kind of recon with your 322 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: with your dog.

What is your story? What? Where? When? Why? How? 403 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: We're sports reporters, so that's how we like to know 404 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: how to interview people. What made you get into this? 405 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: What's the backstory with it? Well? Me, I was always 406 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: like a like one of those kids. I was like 407 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: a d H D all over the place, you know, 408 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: kind of an entertainer. I'd always be trying to like 409 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: disrupt the class and make a bunch of people laugh 410 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: and do something that was like that was like me, 411 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: Like that's how I learned, like I can't sit still 412 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: like I need to do unless I'm engaged. And that's 413 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: what it was, you know. But dogs and animals always 414 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: kept me engaged, you know, and it was something that 415 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: would catch my attention, so circle B. I mean that 416 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: was just the source from when I was young. But 417 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: then later on, you know, I ended up having dogs, 418 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, living with my mom's you know, single mother, 419 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: and the house wanted to make sure we have a 420 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: little edge edge with some protection got some pit bulls 421 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: and wanted to teach him. Really got exposed to seeing 422 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 1: protection training for the first time. So I got kind 423 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: of hooked at like eleven years old, and it was like, 424 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: I want to be gumming to my dogs. I want 425 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: to do all this stuff. I wanted to be able 426 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: to be my body guards, you know, through not no 427 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: matter what, you know, It's like it just it just 428 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: made sense to me. And then I kind of came 429 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: up and evolved, got into the cannabis industry, tapped back 430 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: into the dog said all right, well we now we 431 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: need security, you know. And I was like, all right, 432 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 1: We'm gonna train these dogs and teach them how to protect, 433 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: but then not only teach them how to protect, but 434 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: learn how to teach them how to protect, you know. 435 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: And then from there I really got involved in the 436 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: dog sports and protection training were You know that because 437 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: I played a lot of sports growing up. You know, 438 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: my athletic ability. A lot of people like, uh, as 439 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: a decoy, you get to do all the bite work, 440 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: the guy who gets bit and I was able to 441 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: just get around a lot of different circles of trainers 442 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: because you know, I had the athletic and physical ability 443 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: to work the dogs. And then, um, yeah, I just 444 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: then I was entrepreneur from Oakland, so you know, this 445 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: land of the hustlers. You know, we learned how to 446 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, make it happen, you know, from nothing. So 447 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: I watched my mom as a businesswoman, you know, you know, 448 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: I watched her hustle out of the Orange Dotson out 449 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: the trunk, you know, putting products in in the bottle 450 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: and you know, clearing people's face up and stuff. So 451 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's it's it's kind of in 452 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: my bloodline, you know, less like just the mentality of 453 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: my environment right there. Amen, And there's not enough time 454 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: for me to ask all the questions I want to 455 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: ask you. But again Aaron mentioned it like being the 456 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: sports reporters, like the background that we have. But there's 457 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 1: a lot of stories about guys. I just went down 458 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: to Miami and talked to Dalvin Cook about you know, 459 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook didn't go till the second round as a 460 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: running back and now he's, you know, arguably one of 461 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: the best, the best running back in the league coming 462 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: off the performance he had last year. But he talked 463 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: about how he slipped to that second round because of 464 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: his upbringing and he made some mistakes along the way, 465 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: and the environment in Miami. He grew up in a 466 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: in a tough neighborhood. So a lot of your story 467 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: does it's about where it is that like you come 468 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: from and seeing Marshawn and seeing you know, and and 469 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: I used to work with Gary Payton and these guys 470 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: in northern California and talking about the area that is Oakland. 471 00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: So what is it about where you grew up that 472 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: you think has made you who you are today? And 473 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: why you think it resonates with the consumer? Because again, 474 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: like now being on the platform, like there's a consumer 475 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: for your product, right, like we consume your product. Why 476 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: you think it resonates differently because of your upbringing or 477 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: because of the neighborhood you grew up. Well, I think 478 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: that Oakland is one of the places you just can't 479 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: be fake. You can't try to like be tough, you know, 480 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: unless you really are to you know. So it's like 481 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: you know all of that, you know, wanna bees, you 482 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get caught out on that.

And when that 507 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: is when people see that, because the world is so 508 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: full of nonsense and fakeness, and when people see that, 509 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: they really, you know, I think he gravitates to that. 510 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: So that's all we're trying to do is give you 511 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: all a piece of um. Just what like you know, 512 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: it's like an urban entrepreneur. You know, we're trying to 513 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: like be It's bigger than just being be smaller being 514 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: Gary Payton, like with hustlers in different kind of ways, 515 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, and we got financially intelligent. We know how 516 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: to balance check books and pay off our debts and 517 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: and create accounts and do all these different things. And 518 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: it's like people forget like hustlers and the whole the 519 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: whole persona being like a street hustler. You're really like 520 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: a businessman. That's the whole thing. Is like you want 521 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: to show like new age businessman within these communities like Oakland, California. 522 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: So new age businessman. I mean, I've got, like Chris mentioned, 523 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: I have a seventy pound Golden Retriever sitting next to me. 524 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: I'm I'm obsessed with dog trainers. We've been to some 525 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: what separates you? What's different about what you you know 526 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: with your Netflix show congrats on season two, by the way, 527 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: saw that. But what's different about things officials? Okay, it is. 528 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: It is official. I'm gonna go ahead and say, yeah, 529 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: we're good. You can put that into the to the 530 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: to the university. But what's different is just an understanding 531 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: of dogs, you know, just being able to really be 532 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: fully immersing dogs and really do dive deep um, really 533 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: getting into temperament of different dogs, dealing with the highest 534 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: caliber of dogs, dealing with the most sensitive of dogs, 535 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: and being able to just understand the full spectrum of 536 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: the animal, and being able to teach and convey it 537 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: to the people. So you know, you guys talk sports. 538 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: We can talk sports and dogs. You can talk cars 539 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: and dogs. We can talk to those about getting into 540 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: the people because the people have to continue on. When 541 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm going, I can't stay with people twenty four to day, 542 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I have to get 543 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: the message, get it through them, make it resonate. Sometimes 544 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: we gotta be a little bit firmer to get it crossed. 545 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: They don't in time, you know, I mean, if I play, 546 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: then you're gonna sit there and not really take it serious. 547 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: So it's like it's all about really just kind of 548 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: understand the temperament of the person we're dealing with plus 549 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: the temperament or the dog we're dealing with the environment 550 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: that time. Some dogs they're gonna get put to sleep 551 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: if they don't get it fixed right now. Is that 552 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: we don't have six months, you know what I mean? 553 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: Like you just take person like let the leash go 554 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: or something happen and that's that's another you know, dog 555 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: that can be harmed or something. So it's like a 556 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,239 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff is just depends a case by 557 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: case basis. The kids well change with the difference in 558 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: Kalie Kanine is we worry about temperament, not breathe that 559 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: we worry about what's good for the dog, not this 560 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: style or that style. It's like we're trying to get 561 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: saved this dog. Is the main thing. What I love 562 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: so much about your show is obviously you're there to 563 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: reform the behavior of the dog, but the emphasis is 564 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: there's no bad dogs. It's the individuals that owned the dog, 565 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: right And there was yeah yeah in season one and 566 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: I apologize in their names, but the couple that there 567 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: was a dissonance between the couple, right, the guy was 568 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: more firm and the wife was like, I just want 569 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: to be nice the dog and he's like, no, we 570 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: have to be firm. And you did this incredible job 571 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: of of saying like, Mike and Tasha, there you go. 572 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: Thank you Mike and Tasha. And what resonated with me 573 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: in that situation is is I found myself a lot 574 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: with my husband's like he's nicer and I'm like, no, 575 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: we have to be firm. And there is this dichotomy 576 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: that it ends up creating a rift in the relationship 577 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: between us. But our only goal is to help the dogs. 578 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: We just don't know how how to do it. So 579 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: when you walk into a situation, how are you so 580 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: successful with your communication to the owners? Because again the 581 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: emphasis that there's no bad dogs, it's just it's our 582 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: fault as owners. What would you say to someone that's 583 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: listening right now that you would say, like, what's the 584 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: number one thing as owners we should pay attention to 585 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: well as an owner, as a CEO, as a parent, 586 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: whatever you are. In a leadership role, you have to 587 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: figure out what engages your team. And the key is 588 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: when you know what engages them, then you can build 589 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: value in that and then leverage that to get stuff done. 590 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: Because everybody wants to work. Then we're all selfish in 591 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: the way. We all want what we want, whether it's 592 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: a job freedom and financial freedom, is want to go 593 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: to the beach, we all want what we want. So 594 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: when you tap into that and you're able to channel 595 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: that and get the dog really engaged, focused on the 596 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: focus on the source of the issue, which is lack 597 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: of engagement, and not just trying to go fix the problem, 598 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: because once you have engagement, a lot of times the 599 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: problem to fix themselves because you're able to expose the 600 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: dog and directly and not making such an event. It's 601 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: like the dog can experience because it's able to put 602 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: his energy in a dopemine state versus an anxious state. 603 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? That's when you say 604 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: a dope meine sate. For those people that don't know 605 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: what a dopean state is, the dope means stated, you're happy, 606 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: you're fun place where you are in your mind mentally, 607 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You're depressed. You gotta go 608 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: have fun, you gotta go turn up. You know, you 609 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: gotta get with your people who are gonna keep you up, 610 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: you know, and a lot of times people get depressed, 611 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: you have to you know, check, you have to redirect 612 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: that energy and figure out what it is. And that's 613 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: the same thing with the dogs, whether they're nervous or distracted. 614 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: Because of distracted dog needs engagement. A nervous dog needs engagement. 615 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: And then you need support. They need they need compassion, 616 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: they need you know, patience, and then from me build 617 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: them up into being more confident and less sensitive, you know, 618 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and eventually they're like, hey, you know, they're like little 619 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: Andrew and that in the show. So it's like even 620 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: with kids like you, you pump them up and you 621 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: get them up, you know, and then you support that 622 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: you give that behavior. Like first thing I said, like, hey, 623 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: good eye contact, Acknowledge what you like, don't always look 624 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 1: at what you don't, look what you like. And then 625 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: from there then they're gonna get build some communication, you know, 626 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: and the dogs and say instead of trying to fix me, 627 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: let's engage me, let's get some trust you you see 628 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: what I mean? Like if I come and see you 629 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: comes to the company and they start telling everybody, well, 630 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: this is the new structure and blah blah, blah people 631 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: like whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, and that's just natural. 632 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 1: You know, if you got to just win your trust, 633 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: and if you win the trust, then the dog will 634 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: go anywhere with you. Then you don't have to do 635 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: anything really abrasive or anything. The dogs just wants to roll. 636 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: You just want to be coming to anything. You're just 637 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: helping the dog along the process. It's really coming from 638 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: a compassionate place. But again understanding temperament, understanding what the 639 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: dog needs, understand what they want. How to build more value. 640 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, you think one piece of food and stretch 641 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: out the whole training section, or you can give it 642 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: to them for doing nothing. You see what I mean. 643 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: So how you leverage it and how you build fun 644 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: Like for me, I'm a very motivational trainer, very positive. 645 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: I got treats, trays, toys, I'm scratching in your chest, 646 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: your belly, behind your ears, I know all these different 647 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: places where it's not just a pet. It's like an exciting, 648 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: accelerated pet. It's not it's a piece of food. It's 649 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: like a whole game that we're gonna do for this food. 650 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: It's not a toy. That's how we let you win 651 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: and you feel like you accomplish the world. So when 652 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: you get in that kind of state, you're ready to 653 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: do more. You're willing to like do things in order 654 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: to get that feedback. What's the number one mistake people 655 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: make that you find? I think, Yeah, so I think 656 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: trying to number one, under stimulating their dog, under engaging 657 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: their dog, believe, or not under correcting their dog. Right, 658 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: So we'll talk straight on that. Right, So what happens. 659 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: You can under correct correct your dog and go hey, no, 660 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: don't do that, Dallas stimulate the dog, versus like, hey 661 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: don't do that. They get like, okay, you mean business. 662 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: So the thing is like the reshold of the dog 663 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: is like you could say a word, but it doesn't 664 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: have any value unless you pair it with something. And again, 665 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: if you get the dog engaged, that's always gonna be 666 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: your first alternative. But you're gonna have competing motivators and 667 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna have certain situations that are you know, again 668 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: we'd of dangerous dogs there for kids and for for 669 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: for people, and you have to be able to like 670 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: correct those issues otherwise you're gonna run into, you know, 671 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: dangerous situations and the dogs established things through confrontation, not negotiation. 672 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: That's the pact, whole dynamic, that's important, that's thank you. 673 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: I want to interject confrontation, not negotiation. So dogs respond 674 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: better to negotiation not confrontation. No, they they they're not 675 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: going to sit at around table necessarily a reason. Yeah 676 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: see what I mean, like if you got a let 677 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: me get let me get an example. So I'm at 678 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: the dog park the other day.

And finally I was like, 700 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: I'm out. I took a Daisy to the car. I 701 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: like drove out of the parking lot. I left Willis 702 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: in the parking lot because I was like, I'm out 703 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: on this thing. And I was like, I can't leave 704 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: a dog here. So I drove back and Willis was 705 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: waiting for me. Oh my god, you left him a 706 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent because I was like, you know what, I'm 707 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: leaving him here because I know his friends stand he's 708 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. But I'm like, why do I have 709 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,959 Speaker 1: to sit here and bake this dog to come with me? 710 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: So what can I do in that situation? Or what 711 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: am I not doing as an owner that's right or wrong? 712 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: When this cat won't come create more value and have 713 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: more of an absolute system of recalls, So I don't 714 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: train the dog awfu leash until I have a dependable recall. 715 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: The lash allows me to like really man, And I 716 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, because so what happens is 717 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: he gets becomes conditioned to being motivated to do it. 718 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Plus he has to be and only he has to 719 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: do it is because he's motivated and I have him 720 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 1: on leash. He gave me a straight middle finger at 721 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: the dog park. He's like, I'm gonna stay here. Yeah, 722 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: that's why his level of distraction like why would he 723 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: want to leave wolf or not? Right? You know what 724 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean? Especially having fun, So it has value there 725 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: and then from there you have to um, you know, 726 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: practice that and then you start proofing their obedience with distractions, 727 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: small levels of distractions until you go into the dog 728 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: park and expect to have an awfulah recall. So I 729 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't I shouldn't let him off leash. Then you gotta 730 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: do everything on lash a lot of times, like six 731 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: foot leash and you go like ten foot of leash 732 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: and your fifty the lash, you know what I mean. 733 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: Once you got and you can kind of like drop 734 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: the leash and start working it, But so when can 735 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: you come to Los Angeles help? So I'm coming with 736 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: I have a tour of the first week of May, 737 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: and then I have online training. We have an online 738 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: training at fifteen minutes a day on Instagram and then 739 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: on Mondays and Fridays and yeah, we're always training. Oh 740 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: that's our slogan, always training. So the kids is like 741 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: you you condition your wolf, hybrid, whatever you have, because 742 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: obviously it's your dog. You know, he's gonna be around, right, 743 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter what I do is like say, 744 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: temper said wolf, then that means I gotta train another 745 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean. It's like you just 746 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: gotta to say wherever you're off balance, you know. I's 747 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: like you've got strong arms, you gotta work double legs, 748 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's like you've got small 749 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: legs and it's the same thing. So dogs have temperament imbalances. 750 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: And then from there you like kind of conversate for him. 751 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: So it's like a mathematical equation. But we just teach 752 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: people how to do it through. What people don't understand 753 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: is your part therapist as well. If they do not 754 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,919 Speaker 1: understand that when you come into the picture. They're gonna 755 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: hear a lot about what they're doing wrong and figure 756 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: out why the hell they're doing it wrong, right, I mean, 757 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: you really don't get paid enough to be both a 758 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: trainer and a therapist for these people. Give us some 759 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: sort of story and you don't have to name names. 760 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: Just how hard it is to get into the heads 761 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: of these owners. It's about you, my friend. It is 762 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: well what happens is the busier to client. You know, 763 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 1: that's the hardest part because when you're busy, then it's 764 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: like you expect like everybody else is at your foot, 765 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, you can you know, 766 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: pay for this, So we have to train the dog. 767 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: So the dog is right there at there at this 768 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: So sometimes they can't train. We have to training because 769 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: they even then the dog still knows what, you know. 770 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: So if they're like if they see like, oh, you're 771 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: gonna repeat, Oh, you're gonna ignore the fact that I 772 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: just blew off, they're kind interesting to see what's going on. 773 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: And my son doesn't like this is a fool, Like 774 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's like every day he's saying, like, Dad, 775 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: you'n serious? And then I said, I'm serious, and then 776 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,479 Speaker 1: I take them away and I re engage myself something else. 777 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: But now it's almost like a game, like now he knows, 778 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: but no, Me like no, and he goes and he 779 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: looks like, daddy, you got run away. You know. So 780 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: it's like the thing is that everybody's trying to test 781 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: to see where the relationship. People test each other at work, 782 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: people test each other in every kind of way. So 783 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: dogs is no different. It's just if they win or not. 784 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: And it's not like you don't have to overdiscipline them 785 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: for not. You just have to ensure that they end 786 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: up doing what you need him to do. And like 787 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: I said, the whole goal is to just can kind 788 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: of get it on a one command system to where 789 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: you're not begging the dog, you know, because it's like 790 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: one thing to like give a command and then a 791 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: big you know. It's so interesting you say that because dogs, 792 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: like children or a spouse in a relationship, we want 793 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: to know what we can get away with, and we 794 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: push the limits and we see where the line is. 795 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, they're serious, he said it, not me. 796 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: I am raising my hand right here. It's strong. It's 797 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: all the way up I do it in a relationship, 798 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, there's the line, but it's just that. No, 799 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: it's just that. And so I guess you know again, 800 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: not everyone has access to someone like you. Um, you know, 801 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: not everyone knows what to do. And I've seen in 802 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: your show the frustration of owners. The frustration happens in myself. 803 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: And these are animals. They can't communicate. They don't know, 804 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, to say to you, like hey, relax or whatever. 805 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: So calm down. What would you what, Yeah, calm down? 806 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: What would you suggest as owners that we can do 807 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: a better job of just hearing our animals even though 808 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 1: they don't know are vernacular? Well, the thing is is 809 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: like they're not necessarily they don't hear you. But the 810 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: thing is, like I said, you gotta tap into that engagement. 811 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: Dogs want what they want. They need to be motivated. 812 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: You know. It's like they have workers. Yeah, they need 813 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: a job and you have to tap in you know 814 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like kids, me a job. Everybody 815 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: needs socially, they need stimulation, physical and mental. So the 816 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: thing is, you gotta do that part. It doesn't owner's part, 817 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 1: to like tap into that and figure out what motivates them. 818 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: From there, you gotta lead from there, you've got your 819 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: training box and you could work on all your behaviors 820 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: right there on that box and then from there to 821 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: go onto the world. I've seen you with slash in 822 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: the trainer box, so explain what that means and how 823 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: can I build a trainer box? So I have them 824 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: actually onca dot com. It's very too much elevated platform 825 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: that allows the dog to do a straight sit, straight down, 826 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: straight stand, you know, recall into a straight front position, 827 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: and recall, you know, calling dog to a heel straight. 828 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,319 Speaker 1: So when you see like me doing all of this 829 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: like robotic obedience, it's only because I'm just teaching the 830 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: basic foundation and then we just build on like a house. 831 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: A lot of times that people reinforced sloppy obedience, and 832 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: my whole concept was taking working dog obedience and bringing 833 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 1: it into pet obedience and not kind of settling like, 834 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: oh that's just pet dogs and these are working dogs 835 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: like no dogs and his dog training. So it's like mine. 836 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: It's like a high. It's almost like a CrossFit where 837 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,840 Speaker 1: you have like heavy duty workouts for the average person, 838 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It doesn't have to be 839 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: too crazy, but it's something's a high standard of just 840 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: going and just hanging out the gym and not getting 841 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 1: any results. Like it's like a program. So that's what 842 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: we that's what we do the box and then you 843 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: know I do with the same training, my clients do 844 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: the same stuff. That's ass because they need to always, 845 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: like you said, be stimulated, like they can never be 846 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: bored because I feel like, well, just speaking from experience, 847 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: once they're board, that's when they give you the middle 848 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: finger and they're like, you know what, mom, it's your problem. 849 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: And that's what I learned from the whole thing. Um. 850 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 1: Any story that has absolutely inspired you along the way, 851 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: that you know, is one that you keep close to 852 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: your heart. Whether it's I'm just thinking of Caesar and 853 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,359 Speaker 1: when though I know one dog you know, bit him 854 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: and he talked about that was the dog that sent 855 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: him to the hospital and then he adopted that dog. 856 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: Anything that has just you know, you always kind of 857 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: tell this story that's inspired you. Yeah. Absolutely, I was. 858 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: I was doing a regional championship for the Helper decoy 859 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 1: work stuff in the Washington State and my mentor who 860 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: played a huge role in my influence and teaching me 861 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: the business of dogs and temperament other stuff. Who's that? 862 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: His name is Bob Smith, and uh, Bob, you know, 863 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: he taught me and I've learned from various trainers are 864 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: all over, but I was just like he was one 865 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: of like really took me in like a son, you know, 866 00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: and that was really cool. But we were doing a 867 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: competition and there was his dog that was like rumored 868 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: to be this super high caliber dog. He's like you 869 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: in the in the protection sport we do as a 870 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: hundred point protection dog, like super just strong and all 871 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: of his drives like the perfect Belgian Malawa, except he 872 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: he had already been two or three handlers, and those 873 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: two or three handlers you know, again they probably you know, 874 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: uh did something to like where he just kind of 875 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: asserted his dominance and just said, hey, this is what 876 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And sometimes in our motivational techniques we 877 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: can kind of do a lot of bathing to make 878 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: this dog look happy. But in the in the the 879 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: dog has to know he can't just go and bite you. 880 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 1: And what happens is he sent a couple of people, 881 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, to the e R and it was time 882 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: for him to you know, find a new homes. So Bob, 883 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 1: of course he says, I could do it. I'll take him. 884 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: But in that process before kind of re transforming a dog, 885 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: he brought him out to be a showcase for me 886 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: while I was doing this helper try out. So we 887 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 1: want to bring a nice dog show my work show, 888 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: because as a helper you have to work like twenty 889 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: and thirty dogs consistently the same way. And the judge 890 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: wants to see this high level of like understanding of 891 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: working a dog. So basically he brings his dog out, 892 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: and as he's bringing it out, he tried to like 893 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: you know, like move a collar around, and the dog 894 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 1: just turns up and starts biting him and just going 895 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: to ask him all out attack. And this is like 896 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: big police dog, like serious, and he has no equipment, 897 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: no nothing. Everybody around him just scattered like roaches. And 898 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm all the way down the field and I'm the 899 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,000 Speaker 1: one with the protective equipment. So I come down. I 900 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,359 Speaker 1: take on the fight from the dog. He bites me. 901 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: You know, we get him under control, you know, uh, 902 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 1: we we load him up, and I see vibe and 903 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: he's got his whole tendant like from all the way here, 904 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 1: like out of his arm, just hanging like a piece 905 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: of spaginning, and I see him with this laceration in 906 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: his hand and this one and this one, and I 907 00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: had to come to my dissensus like, oh, ship, like 908 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: this is what dog training can get you. This is 909 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: what this is the type of as we deal with 910 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: this is you know. So you know, it just made 911 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: me understand, like you can only trust the dog based 912 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: on the history, you know, and what he shows you, 913 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: what he proves as you're training, you know what I mean. 914 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: That's why I'm never really just jumping on the dog, 915 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,200 Speaker 1: like like trusting a dog before he shows me that 916 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: I can trust him. That's so interesting that he said, 917 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: So I don't have children. I hope to have children 918 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,640 Speaker 1: in the next few years. But I think about, like, 919 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: my dogs are my babies, right, and my German Shepherd 920 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 1: and Willis, and like they're aggressive and like a lot 921 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: of my friends don't want to come over because they're 922 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: so you know, protective of me in my environment and 923 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: insecure with themselves. So a lot of times that's the 924 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: biggest I think that's the biggest misconception if people said 925 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: my dogs are because they see aggression of sixteen dimensions 926 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: of aggression. Okay, what's so interesting that you just said that. 927 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: When I got Willis, they were like literally in the 928 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: description of Willis was like he's insecure, and I'm like, 929 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: I mean the dog's insecure. The dog was six months old. 930 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,359 Speaker 1: I like, that dog's insecure and it's like he has 931 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: self esteem is And I laughed. I laughed at it. Okay, okay, 932 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: so can you help me before I get into my 933 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: second tier question? And again I could ask you seven 934 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: hundred questions, but you have a life, so you have 935 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: to get on with your day. But real quickly, like 936 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: if the dog, if in my case, Willis, is insecure 937 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: or has and I like laughed at it because I'm like, what, 938 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: this dog lives in Malibu and he's got three incredible 939 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,440 Speaker 1: meals today and he's got a dog. How's this dog insecure? Right? Whatever? 940 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: Like what do I do for that? So it's almost 941 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: like kids, you think, oh, because I raised him here 942 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:11,839 Speaker 1: and he has this life and this and that, it's 943 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: like he is who he is as a temperam as 944 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 1: a person. You know. So sometimes it's confidence issue, sometimes 945 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: socialability issues, sometimes you know, manners all that kind of stuff. 946 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of how you shape behavior and that's 947 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,320 Speaker 1: where we're all the same and we're just a product 948 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,359 Speaker 1: of like what the society has allowed us to get 949 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: away with, you see. I mean like it's like your 950 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 1: manager or your dog or you kind of rude, you 951 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: push here and this or that. So again the same 952 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: thing with the dogs. Sometimes people are mean because they're insecure, 953 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: you see. So they're they're actually playing off their you 954 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: know what, their insecurities and then they kind of like 955 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: we aggressive with people a lot of times with with 956 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: dog behavior, um, and sometimes that's the case. Like sometimes 957 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 1: they're scared because they're scared, they're lashing out to overcompensation. 958 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: Yeah I'm tough, but they're really not tough. They're really 959 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: just saying, help me, help me. So the thing is 960 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,920 Speaker 1: like those kind of dogs, we addressed that issue by 961 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: like not taking him straight into the distraction or whatever 962 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: it is they're freaking out about. We do everything distraction free, 963 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, all full motivation. Again, we tap into that dopeamin, 964 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: We tap into that motivation, and then we gradually move 965 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: them into that whole space of socialism. I need all 966 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: the insecure for how can Yeah, that's all easy stuff, 967 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: like that's what do Yeah, through the process and the 968 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 1: thing is whether we do it or whether we show 969 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: somebody how to do somebody's got to do it. Somebody's 970 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: gotta put in the work, somebody's got to spend the 971 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: time with dog. Somebody takes for repetitions. You know, we 972 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: say it's like three or four thousand repetitions before your 973 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 1: dog really gets what you know, what it means. So 974 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: if you're not training those kind of repetitions, then how's 975 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 1: your dog gonna know? So you never worried when you 976 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: had your your your son, You never worried about behavior, 977 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: slash or you know, any dogs that were around your son. No, 978 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: but I understand dogs, and I understand like I have 979 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: a twenty pound toddler and I have a dog a 980 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,439 Speaker 1: supermotivate and you know him not do anything by ill will, 981 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,880 Speaker 1: but he might run passing and the process abup and 982 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: he my bump is here. So you have to like 983 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: think worst case scenario. And that's why I move how 984 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: I move, Like you know, dogs when they're come in 985 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 1: the house a certain like inside behavior because of what 986 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,839 Speaker 1: could happen. I always kind of think, you know, I mean, 987 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: I always say optimistic, but it's always good to be 988 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 1: you know, precautious at the same time. So no, I don't, 989 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: I don't have any issues like Slash and Moosa. All 990 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,080 Speaker 1: his dogs, all our dogs are really solid with him. 991 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,919 Speaker 1: He's confident with them. And now it's all I just again, 992 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: I just always you know, he even him, like you 993 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,200 Speaker 1: have to watch him up the stairs doing the block 994 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 1: maybe blocks and getting in the drawers because this is 995 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: what they do. So you have to, like we go 996 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: with dogs like they're hyperactive and they're getting into trouble. 997 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's not that they're getting in trouble. They 998 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,760 Speaker 1: just need to be stimulated and they're gonna stimulate themselves 999 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,120 Speaker 1: if you don't stimulate. The same thing goes as a kid. Kids, 1000 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: You just you know, they for hours. More dogs or kids. 1001 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: I like them both. I love you know. Raising my 1002 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 1: son is amazing, you know, because it's like you're constantly 1003 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: like shaping his baby, you know. And even like my wife, 1004 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: she's always like teaching them new things, and I'm just 1005 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: like wow, like you're teaching them, like beating me and 1006 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,239 Speaker 1: teaching them stuff because she spends the time, and you know, 1007 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,719 Speaker 1: they practice and she spends the time, and it's like 1008 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,640 Speaker 1: with the repetition and he's just turned into his own 1009 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: little person, like this one year old little person, and 1010 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: it's just a productive like you know, shaping his behavior 1011 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,760 Speaker 1: and his experiences, and he's being responsible and he's listening, 1012 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of things, but he's still a baby, 1013 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: so you have to understand that and you know, kind 1014 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: of set him up for success. So it's very similar 1015 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,719 Speaker 1: in so many ways. But I can't love being a day. 1016 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 1: It's like the ultimate. All the dog training I did 1017 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: and everything is really like made this really cool. So 1018 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: so what's next for you? What I mean, I hate 1019 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,840 Speaker 1: that question when people ask me, but I'm so interested. 1020 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: Where do you want to take this thing? Um? Well, 1021 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna continue to film because I think that's the 1022 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: best way to get our content out there to the world. 1023 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 1: You know, people can do internet and thing.

But 1043 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: but I was telling Aaron, like when we started this podcast, 1044 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 1: it was like why I wanted you on. I watching 1045 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,680 Speaker 1: your show. You just have an incredible it will make 1046 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: the emotional weird, but like you have this awesome ability 1047 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,160 Speaker 1: to connect with people, and like you make people's lives 1048 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,800 Speaker 1: better because of it. And like I'm getting emotional because 1049 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,000 Speaker 1: like I almost had to get rid of my dog 1050 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: because she didn't get along with my other dog, and 1051 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: like I can't imagine like not having her, So my 1052 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 1: emotions like you have an ability to like keep dogs 1053 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: with the families are supposed to be with, Like you 1054 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: have an ability to keep dogs when like you know, 1055 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: the kids like don't aren't good with dogs, or the 1056 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 1: dogs aren't good with kids. Like you an angel? Actually 1057 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: she's saying you're an angel, a full blown angel, and 1058 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,280 Speaker 1: like no, And why my emotion is weird is because, 1059 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: like I love, I don't have kids, so like my 1060 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,399 Speaker 1: dogs are my kids, so I can't imagine like having 1061 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: to get rid of them because they're gonna like attack 1062 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: my children in the future. So I think what you 1063 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: offer people is like this ability, as we've seen in 1064 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,240 Speaker 1: the relationship up in like your episodes, to keep relationships together, 1065 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,240 Speaker 1: to keep families together, and to keep a community together, 1066 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 1: because there is a sense of like when you have 1067 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: the dog that you feel protective in that community where 1068 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: it's like it's a little sketchy and like that dog 1069 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: protects you. So the emotions coming from a place of 1070 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: like what you do is far greater than dog training. 1071 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,120 Speaker 1: Do you feel that? Is that why you do this? 1072 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 1: Is that you know, sorry for my emotion, but like 1073 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 1: I just love it. Yeah, for sure, I always say 1074 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: it's bigger than dogs. You know. I think my community 1075 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: like might keep my closest friends around me. I mean, 1076 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: you know, we I really give them a lot of 1077 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,680 Speaker 1: um a credit, right because your people, your tribal who 1078 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,919 Speaker 1: kind of keeps you on point, keep you humble, looks 1079 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 1: out for you, gives you real tips, real advice coming 1080 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: from place to love, you know.

Aaron's really upset that her 1139 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 1: favorite deodorants being discontinued. I don't know if it is. 1140 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,399 Speaker 1: I just can't find it anywhere. So I'm also mad 1141 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 1: because I d M them, will not DM them. I 1142 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 1: tagged them on the Calm Down i G account and 1143 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: they haven't looked at the message that I'm like a girl. 1144 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, maybe he hasn't seen it. Oh 1145 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,799 Speaker 1: my god, it's getting WiFi. Where is he right now? Um, 1146 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: I'll tell you where I am right now. Back on. 1147 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: After my emotional outburst with Jaws, I'm sorry, but, like 1148 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: you know, again, we started this episode with your emotion 1149 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 1: about your dogs. My emotion is about what it is 1150 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,359 Speaker 1: that he does for families and the ability to keep 1151 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 1: them together and for the relationship to be stronger, because 1152 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, you and Jared, like you know, any argument 1153 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: that you might get in that revolves around how he 1154 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: is rooted in a place of love and you just 1155 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: want the best for your dogs. So watching his episodes 1156 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 1: and watching what he's able to do, and also for 1157 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: these dogs. And you know, I know when I adopted Daisy, 1158 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: she was I can't tell you how many rugs she 1159 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: ruined in this house because she'd have all these accidents. 1160 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,040 Speaker 1: But I know that she was abused in the past 1161 00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,920 Speaker 1: because of them. She was in six foster homes before 1162 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: I took her home, and um, you know, it just 1163 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 1: makes me sad to think that these dogs don't get 1164 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,680 Speaker 1: a chance to have a great home because they don't 1165 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,440 Speaker 1: know any better and they just want to be loved 1166 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,479 Speaker 1: and owners want to love them. So what he's able 1167 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: to do. I really enjoyed my conversation, as I know 1168 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: you did as well with him, and I have so 1169 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,080 Speaker 1: much more to learn, and I'm going to get him 1170 00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:18,279 Speaker 1: down here. Him and I are going to have a 1171 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 1: side conversation. I see see how much I can beg 1172 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 1: him to come down here and work with me because 1173 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: I I can have a lot to learn. Yeah, anybody 1174 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,240 Speaker 1: that works with dogs or wants to make their lives 1175 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 1: better just I think has a heart of gold. Okay, 1176 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,160 Speaker 1: this is something that I have been passionate about for 1177 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,880 Speaker 1: a while and I want to try to talk to 1178 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: you about this and see if maybe we could figure 1179 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: this out. I don't know if this is a project 1180 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,920 Speaker 1: for the Calm Down podcast. I don't know what this is, 1181 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: but you know how much our dogs have changed our lives. 1182 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:52,880 Speaker 1: I have been very, very passionate about when veterans that 1183 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: are returning home or veterans that have been injured. I 1184 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:01,399 Speaker 1: have been so passionate about projects that bring an animal like, 1185 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, not reunite them with a dog, but pair 1186 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: them with a dog. It's something I talked to our 1187 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 1: friend Jay Glazer about. And if you don't know about 1188 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 1: Jay Glazer and what he does with m v P, 1189 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 1: his group and with veterans and so forth, I just 1190 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,719 Speaker 1: really want to find a way to work with some 1191 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,040 Speaker 1: sort of group that pairs maybe dogs. I know shelters 1192 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 1: aren't overcrowded right now because of COVID, but I think 1193 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: that Jah said that they may start being like people, 1194 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 1: you know, may start going back to work have to 1195 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,879 Speaker 1: give up on the dogs. I would love to pair 1196 00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,520 Speaker 1: up animals that have hearts of gold with these veterans 1197 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,920 Speaker 1: that have served and are dealing with PTSD or injuries. 1198 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: Because one time I was reading here we go with 1199 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,960 Speaker 1: the emotions like this whole thing about you know, these 1200 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 1: guys that come home and what they've seen and what 1201 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 1: they've gone through, and sometimes I just want to sit 1202 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: there with a dog and nobody can understand them like 1203 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,840 Speaker 1: a dog, and I just where can we do that. 1204 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 1: I really want to be a part of this well. 1205 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 1: I will put in every resource, every effort, every amount 1206 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: of energy to help see this to fruition because as 1207 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned our buddy Glazer, what I've been able to 1208 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,560 Speaker 1: see firstand being associated with that program. So it's merging 1209 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: vets and players. And the idea behind that idea is 1210 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,239 Speaker 1: you know, to your point that veterans are part of 1211 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: a team and their squadron and the things that they 1212 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 1: see out in battle. And for players, you know what 1213 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,280 Speaker 1: life looks like for them after the game of football 1214 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,440 Speaker 1: and still needing to have that locker room. So I 1215 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,080 Speaker 1: love the idea of merging you know our favorite things, 1216 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 1: which are animals, um and people that that need that 1217 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,800 Speaker 1: extra little love and just had a sense of purpose. 1218 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 1: And my brother went through a lot, and that's another 1219 00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: conversation and it's his personal stories, so I won't share it, 1220 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: but I know that like the birth of his daughter 1221 00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 1: saved his life because he had Propis after that and 1222 00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to take his life knowing that he 1223 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,040 Speaker 1: had her. So it's this idea that if somebody is 1224 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 1: feeling a certain way. As heavy as this conversation has 1225 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: now become, it's it's important to have because we want 1226 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 1: to have purpose. And so to your point about somebody 1227 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: coming home, um and having seen the things that they 1228 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: have and serving our country and doing the greatest, most, 1229 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,879 Speaker 1: you know, selfless thing you could possibly do. Having an 1230 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 1: animal there gives you a sense of purpose to get 1231 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,600 Speaker 1: you up in the morning. You've got to walk the dog, 1232 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 1: You've got to feed the dog. So I think that's 1233 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,760 Speaker 1: an incredible idea and and you just brought it to 1234 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: our attention right now. But I say that we work 1235 00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 1: offline to to see that become a reality. Yeah. I 1236 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: tried to sell it as a show. Nobody wanted it 1237 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: at the time. Well, you know, I just would love 1238 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: to do it. Forget the show. The show will come. 1239 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 1: But right now, as we saw, even with what Jazz does, um, 1240 00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, what he does is that he was there 1241 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: to service the dogs, and the show comes after the fact. 1242 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: So let's put all of our efforts and energy into that. 1243 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, I do too. I I love 1244 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,960 Speaker 1: that so much. And if any Womanystening has more information 1245 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 1: sort of on how we can kind of effort this. 1246 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that this is a great community 1247 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: and Grysonice, are you listening, get great, great, great feedback 1248 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,680 Speaker 1: from you know, people who are I work with wags 1249 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: and walks, I work with German shepherd rescues from where 1250 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,000 Speaker 1: I got Daisy. So um, let's put our heads together, 1251 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 1: and anybody that's listening that also feel like they can 1252 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 1: help UM in this aspect would be would be awesome. 1253 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 1: I think there's a big possibility here. But I hope 1254 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 1: that if you guys listening, if you have an animal, 1255 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,720 Speaker 1: you can understand. If you don't have an animal, you 1256 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: can see why people love you know them so much. 1257 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: So thank you for listening everyone.
