Greetings,

At the party celebrating the 100th Episode of Dog Whisperer, the impossible became a reality. Over 100 different packs met on neutral territory and came together to form one pack! In the animal world, this could never happen. It was an amazing thing to be a part of. Seeing all those humans and dogs come together was so beautiful.

In the past, each of these well-intentioned dog lovers had a lack of information, and their dogs had issues because of it. But they all showed willpower. All the guests were focused on making sure every human was in a calm-assertive state and every dog was in a calm-submissive state. Each of them demonstrated just how much they love their dogs - and also how much they trusted me and appreciated what I taught them. I felt like they were telling me that it was time well-spent - on both their part and mine!

Some of the people were from earlier seasons, and I haven't seen them in years. When I saw them, I had a flashback to who they were when I first met them, and then I saw right in front of me who they had become. Each of these moments brought me incredible happiness. And the dogs! It was amazing to see all those dogs being allowed to be who they really are.

I am so proud of what we accomplished together. This event would not have happened without the power of belief. First, they had to believe in me, then they had to believe their dog could change, and ultimately, they had to believe in themselves. To me, this is the beginning of a movement to bring balance to the world. We start by balancing the relationship we have with Mother Nature through a dog-and then we can move forward to bring balance to our relationships with one another.

Stay calm and assertive,

Cesar Millan
