AUGUSTA CESAR_MILLAN DAVE DEAN_E_JOHNSEN JUDY_GREER MIKE_ONCLEY MORGAN_ONCLEY NARRATOR NARRATOR Coming up� CESAR MILLAN Cause you�re like a helicopter parent, you know what I mean? NARRATOR Three small dogs, with big problems NARRATOR A blind chihuahua that�s become a menace� MORGAN ONCLEY He took my nose ring out NARRATOR A lhasa apso that bites the hand that helps him AUGUSTA It�s a really dire situation NARRATOR And a celebrity�s dog that�s turned on its own pack JUDY GREER She lunged at him, she bit him so hard� he was bleeding NARRATOR It�s a special episode of cesar millan better human better dog MIKE ONCLEY He looks a little pooped MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah, he's pretty pooped I'm Morgan Oncley, this is my husband MIKE ONCLEY Mike MORGAN ONCLEY And we have a blind little dog named Wayne MIKE ONCLEY Wayne got his name from Bruce Wayne, because he looks like a little bat! He's got big old bat ears and he's all black, and MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah! MIKE ONCLEY Blind as bat now, so the name is totally fitting I adopted Wayne seven years ago I actually had an appointment to meet a rescue dog and the dog got sick so they said, "Hey, we got Wayne as a backup, if you wanna meet him?" And I said, "Yeah!" Just look at his face, and he's so cute I loved him MORGAN ONCLEY Wayne and I had some issues in the beginning And then, once we moved in together, Wayne and I definitely bonded Our other dog, Wednesday, is technically my dog I don't know where the switch happened, but today, Wayne is very attached to me and Wednesday is very attached to Mike MIKE ONCLEY Oh, yeah MORGAN ONCLEY But unfortunately, Wayne MORGAN ONCLEY He has a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing where he'll just snap We call him our little time bomb It's just a matter of when he's gonna go off He's been snapping at Mike and biting him when Mike tries to touch me or get close to me MIKE ONCLEY Ow! Wayne! No! MIKE ONCLEY It's always bad, but I would say it's gotten worse, because Wayne started to lose his vision The more he can't see the more he's nipped at MORGAN ONCLEY Basically any person who walks in our house and tries to pet him MIKE ONCLEY Yeah MORGAN ONCLEY The biggest thing I would say at this point is that he's gone after our niece It definitely makes me nervous and scared At this point I feel that we just can't move forward with our family We can't have a baby yet because I know for a fact Wayne would attack a baby MIKE ONCLEY Oh, yeah MORGAN ONCLEY There's no doubt in my mind MIKE ONCLEY How do you bring a baby into the world when, he doesn't like kids, period? For eight years, Wayne has been our baby, and we've treated him like that, and when he gives you love, it's like the best love ever We can't just kick Wayne to the curb to make a human kid MORGAN ONCLEY This is really an issue that we're gonna have to face This isn't a joke at all MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY Hi! CESAR MILLAN [inaudible] How are you guys? MIKE ONCLEY Good, could you hear you're welcome? CESAR MILLAN Oh, yes! Yes MIKE ONCLEY Can we meet you in the back yard? CESAR MILLAN Let's do it, let's do it MIKE ONCLEY All right MORGAN ONCLEY Let's do it! CESAR MILLAN All right! All right! Lemme meet Wayne MORGAN ONCLEY Let's bring him out Oh, come on It's your time to shine Wayne! MIKE ONCLEY Wayne! MORGAN ONCLEY Wayne Here he comes It's right here It's right here MIKE ONCLEY Come on Here we go Here we go Come here Good boy Wayne, c'mere bud MORGAN ONCLEY Wayne, come here MIKE ONCLEY Come here, buddy Over here, over here CESAR MILLAN My first impression of Wayne? You can see his little tail wagging and he seems like a pretty happy dog But Mike and Morgan was hovering over him, micromanaging every single move, which could definitely stress a dog out CESAR MILLAN Just leave him alone- he�s alright MIKE ONCLEY Wayne started to lose his vision four years ago? MORGAN ONCLEY Now his vision's bad I'm very anxious, I'm very high strung, very anxious So our approach was always, that's gotta suck to be blind MIKE ONCLEY You see him, like, bump his shoulder on a wall MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah MIKE ONCLEY Or couldn't find his toy that was maybe right next to him MORGAN ONCLEY He walks straight past it MIKE ONCLEY Just hope it makes noise, or he won't find it MORGAN ONCLEY So we've naturally MIKE ONCLEY We've tried to make it easy MORGAN ONCLEY Catered to him because we think about what our experience would be? MIKE ONCLEY Uh-hmm CESAR MILLAN So when you feel sorry for someone, you just automatically handicap them You understand? So, when you dealing with the dog world, you should never see their weakness You see their strength You help them MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah MIKE ONCLEY Mm-hmm CESAR MILLAN Hold on to the strength Don't tell them about their weakness, they already know You know what I mean? MIKE ONCLEY Yup CESAR MILLAN Nurture the strength MIKE ONCLEY Uh-hmm MORGAN ONCLEY Right MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN So I hear you guys are thinking about having kids? MIKE ONCLEY That's right MORGAN ONCLEY We wanna start to expand our family and have a baby And we don't feel safe with Wayne, bringing a baby into the home CESAR MILLAN Okay Okay MORGAN ONCLEY He's very aggressive MIKE ONCLEY Yup So, one of the places that's been the absolute worst is- CESAR MILLAN Yeah Yeah MIKE ONCLEY In the bedroom when we wanna relax, watch some TV She goes to bed before I do, and so they have kind of that warm up period And then once I join in, it's kind of, just, I'm not invited I just like, put my hand on her, or like pet her head MORGAN ONCLEY First thing in the morning MIKE ONCLEY That's, that's not acceptable to Wayne MORGAN ONCLEY No MIKE ONCLEY He'll go for my hand CESAR MILLAN Yeah Like a warning MORGAN ONCLEY Sometimes it's more than a warning CESAR MILLAN Oh, yeah? MORGAN ONCLEY Sometimes it's like a straight up bite Blood, and MIKE ONCLEY Oh, for him? Yeah He can bite hard sometimes CESAR MILLAN So is it possible to see what you're talking about? MIKE ONCLEY Yup MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN Put a camera in there so I monitor from here MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah I'll take him, and we'll show you CESAR MILLAN Please do MORGAN ONCLEY Let's go Let's go to bed CESAR MILLAN All right, brother So you're gonna go in there We're gonna communicate and, uh, I'm just gonna watch MIKE ONCLEY All right MORGAN ONCLEY Come here MIKE ONCLEY Snuggle puddle! MORGAN ONCLEY He's here MIKE ONCLEY Hi, buddy Hi All right, let's relax C'mere bud Cuddle puddle! MORGAN ONCLEY Come here, Wayne Come on MIKE ONCLEY Cuddle puddle! CESAR MILLAN That's okay Happy go lucky CESAR MILLAN As they get on the bed I'm seeing that Wayne is wagging his tail He's in a great mood MIKE ONCLEY Hi You're a good boy Hey! Hey Watch out Wayne Wayne MORGAN ONCLEY Hey Hey MIKE ONCLEY Hey CESAR MILLAN Wayne is just, now he's claiming this pack The most important part is to get him out of there Help Wayne to relax MIKE ONCLEY Hey CESAR MILLAN And then, when Wayne is calm, he's invited on the bed MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY No CESAR MILLAN So this is what happened Wayne has just lashed out and now Morgan is rewarding him with affection She should be setting boundaries, but instead she's bringing him even closer, which lets Wayne claim her space MIKE ONCLEY Come over here You're okay, you're okay CESAR MILLAN That's too close MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY No CESAR MILLAN In order for you to prevent this aggression, he needs to go outside your intimate space That's a boundary So once you give him that boundary, now he has nothing to claim MORGAN ONCLEY Stop CESAR MILLAN Just keep him there, that's it, that's personal zone So that move you made right there? You're saying, "Give me space so my husband can come into my intimate space" Can you come outside? MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY I'll come outside MIKE ONCLEY Coming! CESAR MILLAN At one point, you end up doing the right thing MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN But you're just doing it, once you're like frustrated MIKE ONCLEY Too late MORGAN ONCLEY Way too late MIKE ONCLEY Yeah Yeah, as a last resort CESAR MILLAN So you're doing intervention versus prevention You also carry him like a baby MORGAN ONCLEY It's my baby! CESAR MILLAN Well you're like a helicopter parent, you know what I mean? And because of that, Wayne has no calmness, no confidence You see what I'm saying? MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN Mike and Morgan's helicopter parenting is encouraging his biting It makes him insecure and feel dependent Plus, they're comforting him after he's biting Mike, so he'll never learn that's not allowed MIKE ONCLEY Hey MORGAN ONCLEY It's okay MIKE ONCLEY Hey You're okay You're okay CESAR MILLAN Well that's even the worst thing you can do 'Cause you're saying it's okay to do this MIKE ONCLEY Oh CESAR MILLAN You understand? You're loving at the moment when he's unstable? Well, that's wrong That's not good for you, that's not good for the dog MIKE ONCLEY Uh-hmm CESAR MILLAN So it's not just in the bedroom, Wayne's like this all the time MIKE ONCLEY Yeah It's his time with her, and my hand gets a little close, he just bites at me It's like Oh! You okay? MORGAN ONCLEY Ow, ow! MIKE ONCLEY Hey, hey MORGAN ONCLEY [bleep] MIKE ONCLEY You all right? MORGAN ONCLEY He took my nose ring out CESAR MILLAN Are you okay? MIKE ONCLEY He did? MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN He's biting from being touched For no reason at all He's frantic, he's like a cobra He's striking, he's not even doing the whole warning He's like a ticking bomb MORGAN ONCLEY He actually got his teeth in there CESAR MILLAN Do you want to go inside and check yourself out? MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah One sec CESAR MILLAN Yeah, yeah Wayne's biting is bad, but it's getting worse He's super territorial and lashing out at anyone that invades his space, even Morgan Let's make it clear, it's not because he's blind When dogs go blind, they just rely on their other senses even more But it can make him more territorial MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY Hey CESAR MILLAN The problem is his blindness is encouraging Mike and Morgan to micromanage and over-comfort him in the wrong situations I have to teach them to give Wayne some independence But stopping the biting is going to take more work And clearly, it's not safe to do it here CESAR MILLAN All three of you need to come out to the ranch so we can work on this It's gonna be with people who knows how to follow through and help him to get to a calm surrender MORGAN ONCLEY Uh-hmm CESAR MILLAN Good? MIKE ONCLEY Yeah MORGAN ONCLEY Thank you CESAR MILLAN Thank you for inviting me to, Long Beach! MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah! NARRATOR The next day, Mike and Morgan head to the Dog Psychology Center to begin Wayne�s rehabilitation with Cesar CESAR MILLAN Good, good, good, good morning MORGAN ONCLEY & MIKE ONCLEY Good morning! CESAR MILLAN I was worried about you, look at you, like, like it's nothing! That's perfect MIKE ONCLEY He's happy to be here! MORGAN ONCLEY He's ready CESAR MILLAN So we're gonna move to the pack of dogs over there We just wanna see where he actually falls into the pack front of the pack, middle of the pack, back of the pack MIKE ONCLEY Okay CESAR MILLAN Yesterday I saw a lot of territorial aggression from Wayne The technique to correct that actually depends on which place a dog fits in the order of the pack With a back of the pack dog, their aggression comes from fear, so I have to be more gentle Middle of the pack dog requires an upbeat energy But with a front of the pack dog, I am more forward, just to the point This is what we're going to do and this is how we're going to do it MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah, he's hit or miss with dogs CESAR MILLAN That's what I wanna see, the hit or miss Your know, it's very simple Back of the pack, they're always gonna be very, very polite, super respectful They're gonna come across shy The middle of the pack is gonna play They're in charge of making sure everybody gets along Front of the pack, they immediately go into, go and pee so they can spread their scent, or they're gonna start charging to the dogs You know, they're gonna claim the place CESAR MILLAN This is good This is all good All good He's definitely territorial, he's not aggressive, but he's, like, "Hmm, hmm" He's not promoting or provoking a fight MIKE ONCLEY Uh-hmm CESAR MILLAN He's just declaring that he is in charge of this pack MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN Look, marking his territory Classic front of the pack behavior CESAR MILLAN Wayne wanted to come in like it was his home As soon as he arrives, he pees, he scratches the floor, he claims That's what front of the pack do CESAR MILLAN It's actually pretty amazing to have a front of the pack dog his size that's also blind I don't think I've ever seen that before MIKE ONCLEY Hi babies! Oh Come on, Wednesday Oh, Wayne, the door's over here! MORGAN ONCLEY Wayne, over here CESAR MILLAN Let him figure it out, let him figure it out MIKE ONCLEY Okay CESAR MILLAN Again, Mike and Morgan are helicopter parenting, which makes a confident, front-of-the-pack dog like Wayne feel insecure and stressed CESAR MILLAN See? Figured it out MIKE ONCLEY Hi! CESAR MILLAN So before he gets near his parents again, I'm getting him into a happier mindset by playing with my pack But his front-of-the-pack tendencies can make him aggressive with my dogs, just like he is with his parents So, I wanna try something else I'm gonna isolate him with my middle-of-the-pack dog, Spot Spot should allow Wayne to drop his guard CESAR MILLAN We're gonna bring Spot because Spot is gonna play He's playing now The reason why he's playing with him is because Spot is middle But notice that Spot is taking the follower position Head high, he says, I'll take the dominant position, you take the follower position, and we can play So the one who's in control of that is Wayne MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN Spot is middle of the pack, so Wayne and Spot became really good friends, so having Spot in the mix allowed me to see the playful side of Wayne CESAR MILLAN Front of the pack dogs come in all sizes, look at me! We come in all sizes All right, let's practice NARRATOR Now that Wayne is in a happy-go-lucky state of mind, Cesar wants to work on stopping his biting Because Wayne is front-of-the-pack, Mike and Morgan need to offer direct and assertive corrections CESAR MILLAN Most of Wayne's biting is in close spaces, when he's being held or within a few inches of Mike and Morgan MIKE ONCLEY Hey CESAR MILLAN He takes possession of Morgan and lashes out at Mike MIKE ONCLEY Hey CESAR MILLAN Instead of cuddling and gentle words, they need to be direct Move him out of their space before he can take possession And be firm but calm, letting him feel that they are in charge, not him CESAR MILLAN You guys are used to petting when he's tense MIKE ONCLEY Mm-hmm CESAR MILLAN Know what I mean? MIKE ONCLEY Comforting Yeah CESAR MILLAN Yeah, comforting But, he's tense MIKE ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN So if you wanna comfort happy-go-lucky? But if you comfort tension? MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah CESAR MILLAN You know what I mean? Tsch! MIKE ONCLEY Oh CESAR MILLAN Come here Tsch Hey MORGAN ONCLEY Oh CESAR MILLAN Hey His happy-go-lucky energy is all gone now Tsch Hey Tsch Hey Tsch Come here, come here CESAR MILLAN Tsch There you go CESAR MILLAN What I'm doing is calming him by holding a pressure point between the back of his head and shoulder, with a calm steady energy Almost like a massage can relax us, this is a way of helping a dog to relax and surrender But it's clear that the energy between Wayne, Mike, and Morgan is still too toxic to keep working So, I want to give them a break from each other CESAR MILLAN How do you guys feel about him staying with us for a little bit of rehab? MORGAN ONCLEY Like, I can't even hold him anymore Like, I don't want to My nose ring being ripped out made Wayne attacking a baby so real Yeah CESAR MILLAN Okay MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah I want that breakthrough moment, and I want things to get better And leaving Wayne is what's gonna help us propel forward MIKE ONCLEY I'll miss you, Wayne MORGAN ONCLEY Come on, Wednesday! Let's go home, baby girl CESAR MILLAN Okay, Wayne Go explore, buddy CESAR MILLAN I wanted to let Wayne settle here at the ranch while I talk a little but about how incredibly adaptive dogs are I believe dogs are one of the most resilient species in the entire animal kingdom In fact, sometimes when a dog goes blind, pet owners don't even realize it because dogs are so good at adapting with their other senses His real obstacle is his parents, who treat him differently by overcompensating This can be much harder on the dog than the disability itself Come on, look at him I love this little guy NARRATOR Mike and Morgan return to the DPC for another day of work with Cesar CESAR MILLAN Welcome back MORGAN ONCLEY Hi CESAR MILLAN Welcome back MIKE ONCLEY Hello CESAR MILLAN I kept Wayne overnight to give him more playtime with Spot and take a break from Mike and Morgan I just wanted him to have a mental reset before we start work in the morning NARRATOR Since Wayne has lost his sight, Mike and Morgan step in more and more to help him To teach them to stop that, Cesar has built a maze that Wayne can navigate without their help CESAR MILLAN So, we're gonna use scent 60% of the brain is controlled by the nose Remember, they're born blind and deaf 15 days later, they open their eyes 21 days later, they open their ears So they know how to be blind or deaf MORGAN ONCLEY Oh CESAR MILLAN There you go I will reward that, I will reward that There you go CESAR MILLAN Of course it's okay for Mike and Morgan to help him but they still need to do give him some independence to figure things out for himself CESAR MILLAN Keep going, keep going, keep going There you go Keep going Keep going He already knows it, so he's remembering it Yeah There you go There you go Nice MORGAN ONCLEY Doing the maze and allowing him to figure it out on his own with his nose, proved that we don't need to help him He is self-sufficient, and we've been hindering that at home CESAR MILLAN There we go MIKE ONCLEY He almost went over CESAR MILLAN Now that Wayne's calmer and more confident around Mike and Morgan, I want to sit down and put a stop once and for all to his territorial biting CESAR MILLAN Now we're gonna use the muzzle, and so, he has to learn no matter how the energy of the person, he can never choose "fight" He has to choose "avoidance" or "surrender" So to do that, you have to actually practice the activity CESAR MILLAN When we tried to practice calm surrender yesterday, Wayne immediately reverted back to biting Tsch Hey So today, we're going to use a muzzle to stop the biting and help get him through his fight mode until he gets to a calm surrender state And I want Morgan to hold him again, something she hasn't done since he bit her two days ago So this is gonna be a big test for both of them MIKE ONCLEY Ahh He missed you CESAR MILLAN So now Mike, try to touch Morgan MORGAN ONCLEY Tsch! CESAR MILLAN There you go, Morgan Stay right there MIKE ONCLEY Tsch Hey CESAR MILLAN There you go MIKE ONCLEY Hey, hey, hey CESAR MILLAN Stay calm MIKE ONCLEY Tsch Hey CESAR MILLAN Stay right there Tsch Tsch Hey, I got, we got it This is good Tsch I'm just holding that pressure point, like yesterday Breathe, Ms Morgan Nothing he can do Tsch Tsch Go ahead CESAR MILLAN You see that? MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah MIKE ONCLEY He knows CESAR MILLAN So we can MORGAN ONCLEY He had to go through that whole wave CESAR MILLAN Yes So what happens in his brain "I couldn't touch They touch me Okay I better surrender" MIKE ONCLEY He learns everything's okay CESAR MILLAN Yeah The muzzle is going to help all three of them It will help Wayne to learn new emotional patterns, and it will help Mike and Morgan to set boundaries without worrying about getting bit NARRATOR Cesar sends Mike and Morgan home to practice with the muzzle for a week� NARRATOR �before paying them a visit for their final challenge MIKE ONCLEY & MORGAN ONCLEY Hey! MIKE ONCLEY Welcome back! CESAR MILLAN Thank you, thank you, thank you I can't wait to hear I missed this little thing MORGAN ONCLEY Look CESAR MILLAN I can already see that Mike and Morgan are not hovering and trying to solve Wayne's problems like they were before Big improvement MORGAN ONCLEY I'm feeling the confidence build every day, honestly We have put in the work We've put in the repetition, so that the dreams that we have for our family are gonna be able to be a reality CESAR MILLAN How's it going? MIKE ONCLEY So we've got some videos of Wayne doing his maze MORGAN ONCLEY Yeah, we made a little maze out here MIKE ONCLEY Right here MORGAN ONCLEY Did it a couple times, forward, backwards CESAR MILLAN Oh, yeah That's amazing MORGAN ONCLEY And then, we did a lot of muzzle practice CESAR MILLAN Mm-hmm MIKE ONCLEY Tsch CESAR MILLAN They built an actual maze in their backyard, so they could practice letting Wayne solve his own problems And now, Morgan is in control of the situation MIKE ONCLEY Wayne, tsch CESAR MILLAN Mike can be close and touch her without Wayne reacting I like everything I've seen so far, but the real test will be how Wayne does without the muzzle when Mike tries to touch Morgan It's time for their final challenge CESAR MILLAN All right, my friend, go ahead and touch her arm MIKE ONCLEY Worst-case scenario for me is that Wayne's just gonna be his old self and try and bite me MORGAN ONCLEY Tsch Tsch CESAR MILLAN There you go Yay, Wayne! That's my boy! MIKE ONCLEY Wayne rocked it He did not bite me I am so happy He performed exactly like we were hoping CESAR MILLAN Yes MORGAN ONCLEY & MIKE ONCLEY Ohh! CESAR MILLAN Okay Kisses! MIKE ONCLEY You approve? MORGAN ONCLEY Look at that! MIKE ONCLEY You approve? CESAR MILLAN Mike and Morgan were calm and confident, and you could tell how relaxed Wayne was All because they stopped the helicopter-parenting and gave him independence But they were also clear and direct when they needed to be MORGAN ONCLEY We know that, like, essentially our family is on the line, we can't have a baby with the dog that he was a couple months ago CESAR MILLAN Mm-hmm MORGAN ONCLEY But now, it's actually possible CESAR MILLAN I'm beyond proud and happy of Mike and Morgan Their dream is to be parents and success will be bringing a baby home and the baby lives in a safe, peaceful, loving environment So success is in their hands CESAR MILLAN Perfect Happily ever after NARRATOR With wayne�s rehabilitation complete� NARRATOR Cesar meets with another dog that attacks one of her owners� but for a very different reason JUDY GREER Hi! DEAN E JOHNSEN Hey! JUDY GREER I�m Judy CESAR MILLAN Hi Judy, pleasure DEAN E JOHNSEN Hi, I�m Dean CESAR MILLAN Dean Cesar Millan, nice to meet you JUDY GREER I�m Judy Greer DEAN E JOHNSEN And I�m Dean Johnson And this is Mary Richards JUDY GREER Mary Richards Johnson I am an actress in Hollywood, California People know me from �Arrested Development�, a movie called �13 Going on 30� Every time someone�s like, �I know you, but I don�t know what I know you from� DEAN E JOHNSEN It must be �Marmaduke,� right? It�s a great movie starring Judy Greer and Marmaduke The kids going to the movie were there to see the dogs, like, I mean you guys were important, but like, it�s a dog movie JUDY GREER Don�t touch me So here�s the background of our little princess CESAR MILLAN Okay How old is she? JUDY GREER I think she�s five or six, she�s a rescue CESAR MILLAN Okay JUDY GREER She was so tiny, and so cute! DEAN E JOHNSEN She was like a cinnamon roll with fur JUDY GREER And then, we do the paperwork to adopt her and then the second everything was signed, she, like, started being crazy to Dean Biting him all the time Charging at him if he came near me One extra really bad night, where I thought we were gonna have to find a new home for her, he had gotten up to go to the bathroom, he came back in bed, and for whatever reason, she lunged at him, she bit him so hard in his chest She broke the skin, he was bleeding DEAN E JOHNSEN It�s like sleeping with a cobra in our bed You just never know Do you wanna see some examples? Here�s just if Judy�s in the guest house JUDY GREER I�m working CESAR MILLAN She�s guarding DEAN E JOHNSEN Yeah, she will come after me like that CESAR MILLAN Yeah, she�s guarding That�s a Pekinese side JUDY GREER Yeah, she�s part Pekinese-Shitsu, I had her DNA tested CESAR MILLAN Yeah, the Shitsu don�t do that, but the Pekinese definitely are guard dogs JUDY GREER Oh, really? CESAR MILLAN Yeah There�s nothing wrong with a dog being territorial and protecting his home and protect his family That�s normal What�s abnormal is a dog going after his own family members Why does this dog doesn�t trust Dean? Why this dog is going after the pack members? That�s the question that we need to ask ourselves Why? CESAR MILLAN The walks, how are the walks? DEAN E JOHNSEN Come on, kid Wanna go for a walk? JUDY GREER She will run away from him DEAN E JOHNSEN Will you come here for a second? I can�t put a leash on her CESAR MILLAN Is she in front, or next to you, or behind? JUDY GREER She�s either in front, or she�s sniffing things CESAR MILLAN Mary is already territorial around the house, but the behavior Judy and Dean are describing on the walks suggests just how Mary views them So what I�m hearing is that the order right now is, she�s in control, you�re number two, he�s number three You see it? So, that�s pretty dysfunctional JUDY GREER Oh CESAR MILLAN Because the dog is in control of the house, so you see? JUDY GREER Yes CESAR MILLAN Definitely when people have little dogs they have, you know, this fearful aggressive behavior they start learning how to live with it It becomes a joke But it is serious Anytime a dog bites people its serious DEAN E JOHNSEN Is it possible for someone to love a dog too much? JUDY GREER Oh, my God CESAR MILLAN Yes JUDY GREER He is jealous, clearly DEAN E JOHNSEN Your love is making her and I�s relationship difficult CESAR MILLAN He�s in danger DEAN E JOHNSEN Yeah, I�m, get your love in order CESAR MILLAN Really That�s right, get your love in order JUDY GREER Do you want me to go get her? CESAR MILLAN Yeah, yeah, yeah JUDY GREER Okay, I�ll go get her CESAR MILLAN Let�s go JUDY GREER Okay CESAR MILLAN Show me what you�re talking about NARRATOR First, Cesar has Judy and Dean play out a common scenario that leads to Mary acting out JUDY GREER I�m gonna shut the door, he�ll come out CESAR MILLAN Yup JUDY GREER Okay NARRATOR When Judy works in her office, Mary guards the door and lashes out at Dean when he approaches JUDY GREER Stay out here Good girl NARRATOR Cesar observes from a distance so he doesn�t influence Mary�s behavior CESAR MILLAN When Mary sits down with her back against Judy she�s like actually guarding the house That�s what she thinks Judy wants Okay, come on out DEAN E JOHNSEN Just gonna go in here JUDY GREER Hi! Hello, little ladybug What a good girl you are! Come on CESAR MILLAN Okay, come on out CESAR MILLAN Mary is exhibiting guarding behavior, which is typical of Pekinese dogs She interprets Dean's hesitant approach as weakness and attacks But also, Judy is essentially telling her that she wants to be guarded, because when Mary lashes out, she's rewarded with baby talk JUDY GREER Baby, cookie dough CESAR MILLAN So Mary sees, 'when I guard you, I get affection' There's nothing wrong with affection The thing is, you're giving affection before structure DEAN E JOHNSEN So when she's naughty like that, and then she was like, "Awwww" CESAR MILLAN That's right She practiced this territorial behavior DEAN E JOHNSEN Yeah JUDY GREER And then I rewarded it CESAR MILLAN And then she goes, you go up, "I don't see anything wrong with this" CESAR MILLAN Stopping Judy from rewarding bad behavior is a first step But just as important is teaching Dean how his fear and hesitant approach are inviting Mary's aggression CESAR MILLAN I'm gonna help you just right here to enter If you stand your ground, she's gonna do this "Oh, I don't what to do with standing ground thing" DEAN E JOHNSEN 'Cause I'm trying to assure her, like, "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you, buddy, like, I'm cool" CESAR MILLAN Right Right, right Right DEAN E JOHNSEN But really, I should be like CESAR MILLAN Calm, confident CESAR MILLAN All right, let's do this exercise again DEAN E JOHNSEN & JUDY GREER Okay DEAN E JOHNSEN I'll go up here? JUDY GREER Okay CESAR MILLAN Yeah DEAN E JOHNSEN So now, when I come out, what do I do differently? CESAR MILLAN So once you communicate you're coming in, by energy and body language, she's gonna understand, oh so I step back So you're giving direction DEAN E JOHNSEN I'm coming, I got bizness Should I try it? CESAR MILLAN Right Yup, let's do it! Calm, confident DEAN E JOHNSEN I'm gonna just, I got it CESAR MILLAN Don't forget to breathe There you go! JUDY GREER [laughs] He was just like I'm going in that room, like, oh wow he just really did it DEAN E JOHNSEN With confidence JUDY GREER [laughing] Yes! CESAR MILLAN This is really good This time, Dean was much calmer He approached with no hesitation, kept his eyes up and his arms at his side, and used his foot to gently move Mary away from the door It was perfection NARRATOR Next Cesar shows them how Dean can lead the pack on walks It's critical Mary sees that he is in front of her in the pack order And it starts with teaching Dean how to leash Mary up CESAR MILLAN The purpose of a leash is for two things stop the brain, move the brain DEAN E JOHNSEN She does not like me to leash her up JUDY GREER She'll run away from him and like come and run underneath my legs CESAR MILLAN Well, let me show you how to do it DEAN E JOHNSEN Okay CESAR MILLAN Go 'head DEAN E JOHNSEN All right, so I'm just gonna go over here and get Mary CESAR MILLAN Yeah Yeah, there you go DEAN E JOHNSEN Let me just go ahead CESAR MILLAN Very Simple Just like when you were entering the guesthouse before, use your body and your legs to block and move her Mm-hmm There you go She's going, she's going over there Wait, wait Look, she's entering calm surrender Reward her by petting her Yup See, yup Lift the head Mm-hmm Yeah So right now, what you're doing is making her feel proud of what she's doing DEAN E JOHNSEN I'm never really allowed to be the one to initiate any sort of social interaction with her She'll scram, but, to be able to get her to sit and let me approach her, that was great! CESAR MILLAN Hold on Judy, she's instinctually hiding, right? JUDY GREER Uh-hmm CESAR MILLAN But if, as soon as she comes in, and you do that and then she has to look for him as a source Mary just doesn't know how to trust anybody else except Judy Judy needs to support Dean by blocking Mary from hiding behind her That's right, there you go DEAN E JOHNSEN Mary CESAR MILLAN Giving Mary no choice but to accept Dean Beautiful, beautiful DEAN E JOHNSEN Come here There we go Okay CESAR MILLAN So Mary is starting to trust Dean She's seeing that, he's in charge and that Judy is allowing that Now I want to immediately build on that trust by going right out on a walk so Dean can show Mary that he is the pack leader DEAN E JOHNSEN Well, let's see if she comes with me CESAR MILLAN Oh, she will DEAN E JOHNSEN Here we go CESAR MILLAN Yup DEAN E JOHNSEN Let's just go for a walk, happy and confident JUDY GREER That has never happened CESAR MILLAN Yup JUDY GREER She didn't even look back at me CESAR MILLAN She's not supposed to JUDY GREER Yes, she is, I mean, no, she's not JUDY GREER I've never seen him do that with her DEAN E JOHNSEN So, this is awesome!

NARRATOR Another family heads to the dpc with their small lhasa apso AUGUSTA Oh, there it is It's gorgeous Finally at the DPC DAVE Hopefully we get Maynard the help that he needs AUGUSTA I want Cesar to help me [laughs] AUGUSTA I'm Augusta DAVE I'm Dave AUGUSTA And this is my dog, Maynard DAVE My dog's name is Sierra Bear She's completely controlled by Maynard He's definitely the one in charge AUGUSTA Maynard was rescued by my father I woke up one morning all tired from working the night before, and he put this adorable little puppy in my arms and said, "Here, you've got a lot of friends You can find him a good home" And I was like, "He's mine now He's mine" Walking? You wanna walk? About three years ago, Maynard started getting like conjunctivitis in his eyes a lot The vet informed me that he was starting to lose his vision, and that he would need eye drops every day to not have it progress Come here He's always been kind of a terror about giving a bath to, giving him eyedrops is near impossible DAVE Maynard, he just becomes super violent Vicious He will always bite you Can't hold him there Can't get those eye drops in his eyes AUGUSTA You ripped my glove off, mister! That hurt, you still got through it AUGUSTA A lot of times, we honestly give up Ow It's a really dire situation because as he's going blind At this point, I don't really trust Maynard not to hurt me I mean I know that he loves me because he shows me love Can I have a kiss? Oh thank you! What a kiss, oh thank you But, recently, he shows me more aggression than he does love, and it's super heartbreaking AUGUSTA We're actually here We're about to meet Cesar Millan! DAVE Like Doggy Disneyland CESAR MILLAN Welcome to the DPC DAVE Thank you CESAR MILLAN Bring the hounds out Let's talk about your problem Come this way, guys I�m gonna sit here You guys sit there Welcome to my paradise I know the overall story, but now we really dig in, so, what do you think the problem is? AUGUSTA Well, my problem is how Maynard reacts to anything when I'm trying to help him with anything Like, he gets really aggressive Trying to give him a bath, you know, I'm in the bathroom for twelve hours trying to get him to calm down to even attempt to put him in the tub I mean literally, I've been in the bathroom for twelve hours multiple times with him CESAR MILLAN I believe you Listen, I've seen people, days! Tell me about his eyes AUGUSTA Maynard's eyesight is starting to go DAVE It's really because he gets just like an eye crust I mean you can see it on his eye right now, and it develops, it seems like in a few days it just gets super thick CESAR MILLAN Maynard suffers from conjunctivitis, or pink eye Dogs get it just like humans In severe cases, it needs early treatment, or it can result in blindness That's why his eyedrops are so critical So if he's rejecting them, that could turn into a huge problem DAVE Putting the eyedrops in his eyes is not the easiest thing AUGUSTA It's a whole production DAVE He gets very angry You have to grab him, which I don't wanna do, and I know there's got to be a better way CESAR MILLAN Right AUGUSTA Yeah CESAR MILLAN Can you show me how you do the eyedrops? Go ahead AUGUSTA Alright Come on CESAR MILLAN Bathing your dog should never take 12 hours and putting eyedrops should never be the scariest part of the day I need to see what's going wrong here AUGUSTA Alright Come on DAVE A little bit grouchy, but he's letting us do it It's funny We usually, yeah, we can't AUGUSTA Ow! Stop, Maynard! DAVE I can't get it in there right now I mean I got a little bit in, but not CESAR MILLAN Yeah Tsch Tsch Hey Go on this side Just pull this thing over here Tsch Hey This is good for you Good boy DAVE Yeah That was very easy CESAR MILLAN It is all about your energy You need to be calm confident I mean, think about it from his perspective Maynard sees those gloves and thinks, "Huh, they don't trust me" And your dad is trying DAVE I'm trying to come in like a dive bomber [laughs] DAVE I know that Cesar obviously has a way with animals, but I was glad to see it I was glad to see it was so simplistic, which means I know it's something that I can correct CESAR MILLAN Part of Maynard's grumpiness comes from Dave and Augusta and the frantic energy they give off when they try to help him AUGUSTA Ah, ah! That one That one CESAR MILLAN But another problem is Maynard's got some gunk building up around his eyes CESAR MILLAN We have to cut his hair Lot of yucky stuff AUGUSTA Yeah CESAR MILLAN It is probably from his eye drops, but it's likely part of why Maynard is so grumpy But he is in luck today because I actually started my career as a dog groomer So I'm going to give Maynard a little makeover CESAR MILLAN Away from mama Good boy DAVE That's crazy CESAR MILLAN Oh my god So much relief I swear to God I feel so much relief Look guys So this is by his eye Don't tell me that this is not uncomfortable if it's right on your eye like this DAVE It has to be CESAR MILLAN His face was dirty because he's collecting, some kind of lubricant That's why they're here, because they can't take care of him grooming wise DAVE This is crazy to see [inaudible] CESAR MILLAN Don't you feel good, buddy? DAVE Yeah He looks so calm and relaxed too And like, I want to be able to do that for him, but like, I didn't think I could I was always afraid to poke him in the eye with some scissors or something Because he gets so upset with us trying to do it CESAR MILLAN But what's your energy? DAVE I'm coming in worried because I'm stressed, because I know how he reacts CESAR MILLAN Yeah Okay So now Dave, try to touch Maynard's face I want to see if he is less grumpy DAVE Hey, Maynard Hey, buddy Hi Chin scratchies Yeah? He's actually letting me do it I've never been able to do this with him It feels nice, like relaxing CESAR MILLAN Because you're using calm confident to keep him at calm surrender DAVE Yeah CESAR MILLAN Your turn AUGUSTA Hey bud Let me see your face Let me see your sexy face CESAR MILLAN There you go Calm surrender AUGUSTA Yeah Calm I need to regress to a time that Maynard did have that calm energy And that obviously it's the frustration that I've built that I can work on CESAR MILLAN So I think it's fair to give you the homework of putting the drops So just, she can do the holding, opening the eye You do the drop Pow Like that DAVE Yeah AUGUSTA Yeah CESAR MILLAN Maynard needs these eyedrops every day So they need to practice calm confidence all the time If they can do that, they are going to see a huge improvement NARRATOR Back at home� AUGUSTA Come here Good job, buddy The homework with Maynard went alright I was able to get drops on one eye, but hopefully Cesar can give us more pointers Now let me do this, buddy NARRATOR The next day, Dave and Augusta return to the DPC to continue their work with Maynard CESAR MILLAN Yesterday we worked on Dave and Augusta's bedside manner when applying the eye drops But the fact that they cannot bathe Maynard is just as important, because a dirty dog can be a grumpy dog CESAR MILLAN Okay, guys I want to see how you give him a bath This bath is going to use a lot of the same skills they learned yesterday They need to build trust with Maynard by staying calm and using relaxed, gentle movements AUGUSTA Ow CESAR MILLAN Here Here Tsch You need to breathe deeply Relax AUGUSTA Maynard's bit me so much, I've come to expect it in a grooming situation Maynard just doesn't trust me anymore CESAR MILLAN Try it again Relax Alright AUGUSTA Yeah, buds CESAR MILLAN That's right There you go Good boy He doesn't know what you're thinking He just knows how you're feeling AUGUSTA Yeah CESAR MILLAN You know, so it's definitely your energy plays a big role AUGUSTA Good boy, Maynard CESAR MILLAN David, I guess you got to do the face DAVE Okay I feel the idea of about to groom the dog is definitely a little nerve wracking, but I'm actually kind of happy and excited to actually learn how to do this properly CESAR MILLAN There we go Perfect DAVE It's amazing I never would have thought in a million years I'd be able to do this to him AUGUSTA Yeah I love it It's always me in the bathtub with Maynard Yeah CESAR MILLAN Teamwork CESAR MILLAN Yesterday, Dave was scared to touch Maynard's face Now he is shampooing it What changed? Dave's energy Simple as that CESAR MILLAN Alright, let's get him out so we can dry him CESAR MILLAN Yes Yeah, he likes it, huh? CESAR MILLAN Good? Alright It is time to put all the newly earned trust to work in your final challenge Now we're gonna do the eyes Come on, buddy DAVE When Cesar asked me to put the drops in, it definitely made me a little more nervous because I definitely am coming in with a preconceived notion there's a possibility he's going to snap at me CESAR MILLAN Just let him rest his chin on you AUGUSTA Maynard's on a different emotional level than we are, and to be able to put Maynard's eyedrops in, we need to match that emotional level, instead of rile up his emotions CESAR MILLAN There you go There you go That's what I want DAVE Keep him calm CESAR MILLAN Ok Let's go! DAVE [inaudible] AUGUSTA Yeah CESAR MILLAN You like it? DAVE Yes! AUGUSTA Yeah! DAVE I never thought I'd be able to do that I haven't felt this happy around him in a long time It's awesome to know that I can actually take care of him properly AUGUSTA Being a pet parent to Maynard, the stress of him possibly going blind weighed heavily on me every single day And now knowing that we can do it together and the possibility DAVE That we can do it AUGUSTA Yeah And then we can do it DAVE That we can actually do it That's the thing Not that we didn't want to do it We just could not figure it out CESAR MILLAN Now you know the steps of how to care for him, grooming wise, energetic wise AUGUSTA Putting in his eyedrops CESAR MILLAN Putting in his eyedrops Maynard is ready Maynard is ready Come on Maynard is a piece of cake He just needed his parents to help each other This is about trusting each other, commitment, and follow through That's where the confidence will grow CESAR MILLAN Take care of my boy Make sure you have fun with this guy because he's special AUGUSTA Since being here at the DPC and learning from Cesar, I know with full confidence that I can provide the happy life that Maynard deserves and wants And maybe Maynard will never go blind You know, fingers crossed Series Title Cesar Millan Better Human Better Dog/Episode Number & Episode Title Compilation #2 - Little Dogs, Big Dilemmas Network & ID # WCEW92577 FINAL SCRIPT FOR CLOSED CAPTIONING-FINAL VERSION 53 Page 58 of 56
