1
00:00:01,460 --> 00:00:03,295
[Cesar] When packmates
constantly fight,

2
00:00:03,295 --> 00:00:06,006
it can be overwhelming
for any pet parent.

3
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,842
But when that parent
is in a wheelchair,

4
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:12,930
breaking up a violent dog fight
can be truly dangerous.

5
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:16,600
I am on my way to help a pet mom
with two English bulldogs

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,144
who are injuring themselves
and their pet parents

7
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:21,563
with their nonstop brawls.

8
00:00:21,563 --> 00:00:24,274
This pack needs my help
immediately.

9
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:29,488
[Chelsie] I'm Chelsie.
[Jay] And I'm Jay.

10
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:32,241
[Chelsie] And this is our
six-month-old daughter Jaelyn.

11
00:00:32,241 --> 00:00:33,617
We're the Bloomfields.

12
00:00:33,617 --> 00:00:35,577
[Jay] I design
and fit wheelchairs

13
00:00:35,577 --> 00:00:37,246
for people with disabilities.

14
00:00:37,246 --> 00:00:39,665
[Chelsie] I run a all-women's
wheelchair dance team

15
00:00:39,665 --> 00:00:41,250
called the Rollettes.

16
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:42,960
I started
a wheelchair dance team

17
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,254
because I wanted
to prove to everybody

18
00:00:45,254 --> 00:00:47,589
how normal my life can be.

19
00:00:47,589 --> 00:00:50,801
And now I run a women's
empowerment weekend

20
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:52,719
for women and children
with disabilities

21
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,930
called the Rollettes Experience.

22
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:57,599
[Jay] Chels and I met
at a work conference.

23
00:00:57,599 --> 00:01:00,185
We locked eyes from
across the room pretty much,

24
00:01:00,185 --> 00:01:03,438
and we've been together
for the past nine years.

25
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:09,319
We got married about
a year and a half ago.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,948
My wife has so much confidence,
and she crushes it,

27
00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:15,367
despite what odds
are thrown against her.

28
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:20,080
♪ ♪

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,915
We got Stella as a puppy.

30
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:23,375
She was about this big.

31
00:01:23,375 --> 00:01:24,751
I remember she could fit
in the palm of my hand

32
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:26,420
when we first got her.

33
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:29,631
But now she's seven years old.

34
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:31,133
And we've realized that Stella

35
00:01:31,133 --> 00:01:33,260
probably would benefit
from a friend.

36
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:34,261
[Chelsie] She seemed lonely.

37
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:35,470
[Jay] Yeah.

38
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:36,972
[Chelsie] So, we got Bailey,

39
00:01:36,972 --> 00:01:41,018
and she is a bundle of energy.

40
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:43,895
[Jay] I'll wrestle with you.
I'll wrestle with you.

41
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:46,857
[Chelsie] She loves people.

42
00:01:46,857 --> 00:01:49,318
She just wants to play
all the time.

43
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:50,402
Okay.

44
00:01:50,402 --> 00:01:53,030
She gets really excited
very easily.

45
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,993
She loves me. She's more
attached to me, I think.

46
00:01:57,993 --> 00:01:59,286
You're a stinky girl.

47
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:01,705
You're gonna get
a bath real soon!

48
00:02:01,705 --> 00:02:03,415
Stella was always
very gentle with Bailey.

49
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:10,047
But then about eight months in,
we saw the first fight.

50
00:02:10,047 --> 00:02:11,423
[Jay] Hey! Hey!

51
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:13,175
Hey! Hey!

52
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:14,426
[Chelsie] Obviously
it scared us.

53
00:02:14,426 --> 00:02:16,470
We were like,
this has to be a fluke,

54
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:17,971
like maybe they got scared.

55
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:19,097
Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe!

56
00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:20,265
Eh, no, girls!

57
00:02:20,265 --> 00:02:21,892
[Jay] Hey! Hey! Hey!

58
00:02:23,477 --> 00:02:25,771
[Chelsie] But when it started
happening more frequently,

59
00:02:25,771 --> 00:02:29,566
we would do everything
we could to break them up.

60
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:31,985
[Jay] Hey! Hey!

61
00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:34,946
I mean, I have scars on my hands
from getting bit by mistake

62
00:02:34,946 --> 00:02:36,448
in the middle of a fight.

63
00:02:36,448 --> 00:02:39,201
I mean, they draw blood
all the time.

64
00:02:39,201 --> 00:02:42,788
[Chelsie] When I do see them
fight, I don't know what to do.

65
00:02:42,788 --> 00:02:46,416
I've literally fallen
out of my chair forwards

66
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:48,585
and even fallen off the couch

67
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:50,170
in order just
to break up a fight.

68
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:55,509
It's been really scary.

69
00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:56,927
Ah! Bailey, stop!
Stop, Bailey!

70
00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:58,804
Bailey! Bailey! Bailey!
Bailey! Bailey!

71
00:02:58,804 --> 00:03:02,182
Taking these dogs for a walk
is like a circus.

72
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,769
Bailey! Bailey! Bailey! Bailey!

73
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:09,439
And I really don't like
having to rely on other people

74
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:12,275
to help me, but with the dogs,
it's gotten to the point

75
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:15,237
where I really want to cry,
like, I just want to give up.

76
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:17,030
[Jay] Hey! Bailey, come here!

77
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,281
I'm on the road quite a bit,

78
00:03:18,281 --> 00:03:19,700
and it's always
in the back of my mind.

79
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,328
I'm worried about how the dogs
are gonna be with her,

80
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:26,248
and is she gonna get pulled
out of her chair,

81
00:03:26,248 --> 00:03:30,627
and especially now that we have
a daughter, I'm terrified.

82
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,672
[Chelsie] They do good with
like an able-body pulling,

83
00:03:33,672 --> 00:03:35,090
like holding them.

84
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,968
[Jay] It's probably hard for you
because of the wheelchair.

85
00:03:37,968 --> 00:03:39,094
[Chelsie] Yeah.

86
00:03:39,094 --> 00:03:41,513
It's crazy because
in my entire life,

87
00:03:41,513 --> 00:03:43,640
I am very confident
in what I do.

88
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,225
I'm confident
in my day-to-day routine.

89
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,518
I'm confident with my business.

90
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:48,437
And then for some reason,
with the dogs,

91
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:51,523
it's like this whole new
layer of dependence,

92
00:03:51,523 --> 00:03:53,650
and I just don't know
what to do.

93
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:54,651
Wait!

94
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:56,153
[Jay] Hey!

95
00:03:56,153 --> 00:03:59,197
[Chelsie] I think the worst-case
scenario that I'm terrified of

96
00:03:59,197 --> 00:04:02,742
is one of them is gonna
really hurt the other one

97
00:04:02,742 --> 00:04:04,744
or even kill the other one,

98
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:07,080
so it's gotten really scary.

99
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,623
Something has to happen,

100
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:11,334
or we're gonna have to
get rid of the dogs.

101
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:13,295
[Jay] They are
part of our family,

102
00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:16,214
and I don't want
to give up on them.

103
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:18,091
[Chelsie] This is definitely
like our last straw,

104
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:20,177
and we don't want
to have to give them away,

105
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:21,678
but it's gotten
to the point now

106
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:23,972
that I feel extra disabled...

out on the couch

at the front door.

00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:29,306

00:06:40,358 --> 00:06:42,402
[Chelsie] Okay, thanks.

172
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,653
[Cesar] Knowing that these dogs

173
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,989
could break into a fight
at any moment,

174
00:06:45,989 --> 00:06:47,198
I'm gonna be close by

175
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:50,660
so I can step in quickly
and keep everyone safe.

176
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,788
[Chelsie] Hi! Hi! Hi!

177
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:55,582
[Cesar] Okay,
tell them I'm ready.

178
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,459
Let's see what causes the fight.

179
00:06:57,459 --> 00:07:01,046
[Chelsie] Hi. Hi.

180
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,048
[Cesar] So, Chelsie's giving
a lot of affection to Bailey,

181
00:07:03,048 --> 00:07:04,049
the gray one.

182
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:05,216
[Chelsie] Love you.

183
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:06,843
[Cesar] That's getting her
really excited.

184
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:12,682
[Chelsie] Okay, Bailey,
stay down. Whoa.

185
00:07:12,682 --> 00:07:14,976
[Cesar] Uh-oh, Chelsie's
signaling that she's nervous.

186
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,353
[Chelsie] Bailey, hey!

187
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:19,439
[Cesar] And she's feeding
nervous energy to Bailey.

188
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,565
[Jay] What's up, guys?

189
00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:23,068
[Cesar] All this excitement

190
00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:24,944
combined with
Chelsie's nervousness,

191
00:07:24,944 --> 00:07:27,030
these are the perfect
conditions for a fight.

192
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,491
[Chelsie] Babe, babe, babe,
babe, babe, no, wait.

193
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:30,492
[Jay] Hey!

194
00:07:30,492 --> 00:07:31,493
[Cesar] Yep,
I got to get in there!

195
00:07:31,493 --> 00:07:34,037
[Chelsie] Hey, hey, hey!
Girls! Girls!

196
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:35,372
[Cesar] Tsch!

197
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,248
Bring them in, bring them in.

198
00:07:37,248 --> 00:07:39,250
Tsch! Tsch! Tsch!

199
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:40,794
Hey! Tsch!

200
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:42,962
This one, Bailey, started it.

201
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,255
Tsch!

202
00:07:44,255 --> 00:07:46,383
Tsch! Tsch! Tsch!

203
00:07:47,717 --> 00:07:48,718
Tsch!

204
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:50,220
Anytime they fight like this,

205
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:52,430
I teach that they should
go on their side

206
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:53,765
in full calm surrender.

207
00:07:53,765 --> 00:07:56,226
Tsch! Tsch!

208
00:07:56,226 --> 00:07:57,477
Hey!

209
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:58,520
Tsch!

210
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,230
Stella's in calm
surrender already,

211
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:02,399
but Bailey's still fighting it.

212
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:03,400
Tsch!

213
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,401
[Bailey groans]

214
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:05,568
Hey!

215
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:10,865
♪ ♪

216
00:08:10,865 --> 00:08:12,117
Stella already got it.

217
00:08:12,117 --> 00:08:14,035
There you go. Tsch!

218
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,954
This is good, this is good.

219
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:21,126
Right, so what I like to do
when two dogs fight

220
00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:23,420
is put them
right next to each other,

221
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:24,838
wait until
the dog calm surrender,

222
00:08:24,838 --> 00:08:27,882
and give affection
when they're calm surrender.

223
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,217
[Jay] Gotcha.

224
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:31,720
[Chelsie] So, I have a question:
Why do the dogs fight?

225
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,596
[Cesar] It's because you,
Chelsie, gave them

226
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:37,434
a bad combination of excitement,
affection, and nervous energy.

227
00:08:37,434 --> 00:08:38,560
You understand?

228
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,186
[Chelsie] Mm-hmm.

229
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,689
[Cesar] The most important
part is the energy.

230
00:08:42,689 --> 00:08:44,315
It's pretty much
what I tell people

231
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,818
that have the same
problem at the door.

232
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:49,112
It might seem like it's
Jay's affectionate greeting

233
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:51,573
at the door that triggers
Bailey's aggression.

234
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:53,742
[Jay] What's up, guys?

235
00:08:53,742 --> 00:08:54,909
[Chelsie] Oh. Oh.

236
00:08:54,909 --> 00:08:56,369
[Cesar] But the fight
was actually caused

237
00:08:56,369 --> 00:09:00,707
by Chelsie's words and energy
before Jay even walked in.

238
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:02,167
[Chelsie] Hi! Hi! Hi!

239
00:09:02,167 --> 00:09:05,170
[Cesar] First she showered
excited dogs with affection,

240
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:07,922
which made Bailey overexcited.

241
00:09:07,922 --> 00:09:10,383
[Chelsie] Hi! Hi! Love you.

242
00:09:10,383 --> 00:09:13,887
[Cesar] But then Chelsie moved
her chair back as though afraid.

243
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:16,264
[Chelsie] Okay,
Bailey, stay down.

244
00:09:16,264 --> 00:09:19,184
[Cesar] And started giving
Bailey uncertain body language

245
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:20,852
and worried words.

246
00:09:20,852 --> 00:09:22,812
[Chelsie] Hi. Whoa.

247
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:24,564
[Cesar] Bailey saw this
and thought,

248
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,442
"If Mom is nervous,
I should be nervous, too."

249
00:09:27,442 --> 00:09:29,569
This turned her overexcitement

250
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:33,323
into aggression against
the closest target--Stella.

251
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:34,699
[Jay] Hey!

252
00:09:34,699 --> 00:09:36,034
[Cesar] There you go.
Bring 'em in, bring 'em in.

253
00:09:36,034 --> 00:09:38,411
I have a feeling
that lack of exercise

254
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:41,998
could be a contributing factor
to these fights.

255
00:09:41,998 --> 00:09:43,416
How's the walks?

256
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,669
[Chelsie] Pff! Walking?

257
00:09:46,669 --> 00:09:48,296
[Jay] Ah, Chelsie,

258
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:49,923
she barely makes it
down the end of the block.

259
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:51,341
[Cesar] Okay.

260
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:52,842
[Chelsie] Yeah. So, to be
honest, we just don't walk them.

261
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:54,636
[Cesar] All right,
so that's a problem.

262
00:09:54,636 --> 00:09:57,055
[Chelsie] I'm just very nervous
to take the dogs on walks

263
00:09:57,055 --> 00:09:58,973
because I can't handle them,

264
00:09:58,973 --> 00:10:03,812
and so I feel extra disabled
because I have to ask for help.

265
00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:06,272
That's like the,
the reality of it.

266
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:07,816
[Cesar] That's right.
So, that's honesty.

267
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:09,234
[Chelsie] Mm-hmm. Yeah.

268
00:10:09,234 --> 00:10:12,695
[Cesar] Right? The good news
for you is I can help you.

269
00:10:12,695 --> 00:10:16,574
I love that Chelsie is so honest
with me and with herself.

270
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:18,243
That takes a lot of strength.

271
00:10:18,243 --> 00:10:20,912
She's home alone with
these dogs much of the time,

272
00:10:20,912 --> 00:10:22,455
but she doesn't
have the confidence

273
00:10:22,455 --> 00:10:24,916
that she can handle them
without help.

274
00:10:24,916 --> 00:10:26,584
I need to change that for her.

275
00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:29,754
So I want to start by showing
Chelsie how her words and energy

276
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:32,298
create conditions for fighting.

277
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:35,093
I'm gonna ask Jay
to enter the house again,

278
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:37,428
but this time,
Mom must not give the dogs

279
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:40,473
any affection or nervous energy.

280
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:42,809
The results should be
drastically different

281
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:45,103
if she can remain calm.

282
00:10:45,103 --> 00:10:47,105
So, Jay, you're just
gonna come in the door

283
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:49,274
and greet the dogs like before.

284
00:10:49,274 --> 00:10:50,775
Come on, man.
Do it for your lady.

285
00:10:50,775 --> 00:10:51,776
[Chelsie] Go for it.

286
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:53,319
I don't know where Bailey is.

287
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:55,196
Bailey, come here.

288
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:57,407
Thank you.

289
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,701
[Cesar] Come on, Chel.

290
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:02,537
Okay, Chelsie, but your job
is to do nothing--

291
00:11:02,537 --> 00:11:05,039
no affectionate talking,
no petting--

292
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:10,003
because once you do that, your
energy goes softer and excited.

293
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,504
And look, Bailey's excited now.

294
00:11:11,504 --> 00:11:12,505
[Chelsie] Yeah.

295
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:13,715
[Cesar] And you're petting her.

296
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:16,467
No touch, just quiet
calm confidence.

297
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:17,468
[Chelsie] Got to tell them no.

298
00:11:17,468 --> 00:11:18,803
[Cesar] Yeah.
[Chelsie] Gotcha.

299
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:21,472
[Cesar] Now that's better.

300
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:22,599
[Chelsie] Yeah.

301
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:24,934
[Cesar] Bailey has
to be completely calm.

302
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:27,228
All right, you can come in.

303
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:28,396
[knock on door]

304
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:30,106
[barking]

305
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:31,232
Stay calm, Chelsie.

306
00:11:31,232 --> 00:11:32,400
[barking]

307
00:11:37,071 --> 00:11:38,072
[barking]

308
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:39,490
[Cesar] Stay calm, Chelsie.

309
00:11:39,490 --> 00:11:41,034
[barking]

310
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:44,537
Stay quiet and just watch
how the dogs react.

311
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:53,504
♪ ♪

312
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:55,465
That's perfect.

313
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:57,216
[Chelsie] Wow, okay. Love that.

314
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:58,718
[Cesar] You see,
so if you can do it,

315
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,428
she should be able to do it.

316
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:02,472
See, Chelsie,
you were quiet and calm,

317
00:12:02,472 --> 00:12:03,973
and so Bailey was, too.

318
00:12:03,973 --> 00:12:05,350
[Chelsie] This is amazing.

319
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:07,226
[Cesar] Once you teach them
they have to stay calm,

320
00:12:07,226 --> 00:12:09,520
then anyone can enter,
no problem.

321
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,065
[Chelsie] I've never seen
someone come into this home

322
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:14,400
with Stella and Bailey so calm.

323
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,110
I was really shocked,

324
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:18,112
to see that they're
capable of listening.

325
00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:19,405
[Jay] Yeah.

326
00:12:19,405 --> 00:12:21,074
[Chelsie] They want to listen.
We've known that.

327
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:23,368
But just to see it
in front of our eyes,

328
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:24,244
I didn't think it was possible.

329
00:12:25,703 --> 00:12:27,497
[Cesar] Can you see how
you created the conditions

330
00:12:27,497 --> 00:12:30,500
for fights before Jay
even comes in the door?

331
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:32,418
[Chelsie] Yeah,
I'm learning a lot.

332
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:33,544
[Cesar] It should
be your energy,

333
00:12:33,544 --> 00:12:35,755
and your body language
should be plenty.

334
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,174
[Chelsie] So, no more saying,
"Mom's home, Dad's home"

335
00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:39,217
because that's
what gets them excited.

336
00:12:39,217 --> 00:12:40,760
[Jay] Yeah,
that gets them riled.

337
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,721
It's truly amazing to see
what's causing the fights.

338
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:46,099
It's kind of like
a sigh of relief.

339
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,433
[Chelsie] What Cesar saw today

340
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,769
is basically
our reality every day.

341
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:52,355
[Cesar] Tsch! There you go.
Bring 'em in, bring 'em in.

342
00:12:52,355 --> 00:12:53,523
[Chelsie] And the energy thing,

343
00:12:53,523 --> 00:12:55,108
we just didn't really
know how to control,

344
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:57,860
and now that we know
it's just my energy,

345
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:59,654
I feel a little bit
more confident.

346
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:04,659
But I'm also nervous as to,

347
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:07,370
if they're gonna be able
to, like, keep it up.

348
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:09,497
[Cesar] If you practice
this calmness at the door,

349
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:12,208
eventually they'll learn
to just stay calm

350
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,584
when anyone comes in the door.

351
00:13:13,584 --> 00:13:15,086
[Jay] Gotcha.

352
00:13:15,086 --> 00:13:16,838
[Cesar] At this point, I would
like to invite you to the ranch

353
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:20,341
because I want you to see them
meeting new friends.

354
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:22,593
It's almost like
a rebirth for them.

355
00:13:22,593 --> 00:13:23,761
[Chelsie] Okay.
[Jay] All right, gotcha.

356
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:25,346
[Chelsie] Cool.
[Jay] Awesome. Thank you.

357
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:27,473
[Cesar] Today was
an important first step.

358
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:30,059
But for us to end
these fights permanently,

359
00:13:30,059 --> 00:13:32,770
this pack is gonna
need exercise.

360
00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:37,066
That's key for any dog
to stay healthy and happy.

361
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:39,694
So I need to come up
with a solution for Chelsie

362
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:44,490
to easily exert the dogs'
pent-up energy on her own.

363
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,827
And I need to get to the bottom
of her nervous energy

364
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,413
that is sparking
this aggression.

365
00:13:50,413 --> 00:13:53,166
There is much, much
more work to do here.

366
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:54,876
[Chelsie] We appreciate you,
and you're really--

367
00:13:54,876 --> 00:13:56,169
[Cesar] You're more confident
than you think.

368
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,336
[Chelsie] Yeah,
I feel it, so thank you.

369
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:58,337

Thank you!

with all the issues
I saw yesterday.

381
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:26,991
I want you guys to meet here

Stella's good, Bailey just goes.

385
00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:37,293
[Cesar] Uh-huh.

386
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:38,586
Can I change the leash?

387
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:41,089
Right now Bailey is too excited.

388
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:43,925
I've seen firsthand
how quickly her overexcitement

389
00:14:43,925 --> 00:14:45,718
can turn into aggression,

390
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:47,345
so I need to take
action right now,

391
00:14:47,345 --> 00:14:49,222
and I can't waste any time.

392
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:51,390
I'm gonna do an exercise
that teaches Bailey

393
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:54,185
to stay calm
and avoid overexcitement,

394
00:14:54,185 --> 00:14:57,021
even as we give her more
and more stimulation

395
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:58,856
with my barnyard friends.

396
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:01,317
Okay, so come over here.

397
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:03,027
Bailey is really pulling.

398
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:05,238
First, I need to get her
to calm down.

399
00:15:06,531 --> 00:15:08,324
I'm gonna get her
calm and sitting,

400
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:10,618
and the point is
she must practice calm

401
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:12,161
instead of overexcitement.

402
00:15:12,161 --> 00:15:13,204
[Chelsie] Yeah.

403
00:15:13,204 --> 00:15:14,205
[Cesar] Tsch!

404
00:15:14,205 --> 00:15:16,707
Hey, Bailey, calm down.

405
00:15:16,707 --> 00:15:19,043
Stella! That's good.

406
00:15:19,043 --> 00:15:22,421
And, and my job right here is
just to supervise just in case.

407
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:24,924
This is calm surrender.
This is good.

408
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:28,553
This is the energy Bailey should
have shown exiting the car.

409
00:15:28,553 --> 00:15:30,346
Now I'm gonna
introduce the macaw.

410
00:15:34,851 --> 00:15:36,686
Boom, boom. See it?

411
00:15:36,686 --> 00:15:38,688
A very exciting new friend,

412
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,523
but they still
have to stay calm.

413
00:15:40,523 --> 00:15:42,358
I'm just gonna add more to it.

414
00:15:42,358 --> 00:15:43,442
[Chelsie] Yeah, okay.

415
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,069
[Cesar] Pass me the goat.

416
00:15:45,069 --> 00:15:47,405
We are increasing
the sources of excitement,

417
00:15:47,405 --> 00:15:50,032
but Bailey must stay calm.

418
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:54,620
So now the association of,
while a goat was in front of us,

419
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,873
while a macaw
was in front of us,

420
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:58,541
we can still stay calm.

421
00:15:58,541 --> 00:16:00,001
[Chelsie] Yeah, wow.

422
00:16:00,001 --> 00:16:01,878
[Cesar] And you're helping
them stay calm, Chelsie,

423
00:16:01,878 --> 00:16:04,297
because you're staying
calm yourself.

424
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:07,967
[Chelsie] I know that I need
to have a calm energy

425
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,427
because that will just create

426
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:11,387
a very, like,
safe space for them,

427
00:16:11,387 --> 00:16:13,890
but for them to be
around other animals

428
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:16,017
and be pet at the same time

429
00:16:16,017 --> 00:16:20,396
gave me a lot more hope
than I thought going into today.

430
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:22,565
[Cesar] So I petted Bailey,
and she stayed calm.

431
00:16:22,565 --> 00:16:24,358
Now it's Jay's turn.

432
00:16:24,358 --> 00:16:26,569
Chelsie, you support
with calmness.

433
00:16:26,569 --> 00:16:29,739
[Chelsie] Um, yeah,
I'm a little nervous.

434
00:16:29,739 --> 00:16:31,574
[Cesar] No, Bailey
needs your calm.

435
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:32,992
[Chelsie] Yeah.

436
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:35,870
When Cesar told Jay to start
giving the dogs affection,

437
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:39,332
it made me nervous because
even when they are calm,

438
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:42,168
they could still
attack each other,

439
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:44,212
so I was honestly just terrified

440
00:16:44,212 --> 00:16:47,340
as to what we all
were gonna witness.

441
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,175
[Jay] Specifically Bailey.

442
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,552
[Cesar] We're gonna take it
to another level.

443
00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:53,554
But you have to
stay calm, Chelsie.

444
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:57,350
[Chelsie] Oh, no.

445
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,393
[Cesar] That's all right.
You stay right there.

446
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:01,562
Tsch! Tsch!

447
00:17:01,562 --> 00:17:02,813
[Chelsie] Bailey!

448
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:04,273
[Cesar] Tsch! Tsch!

449
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:05,816
Tsch! Tsch!

450
00:17:08,611 --> 00:17:09,612
[Cesar] Tsch!

451
00:17:09,612 --> 00:17:10,780
[Jay] Tsch!

452
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:12,782
[Cesar] Tsch!
There we go. Bring them in.

453
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:14,325
[Jay] Tsch!

454
00:17:14,325 --> 00:17:16,494
[Cesar] After a fight,
they must both get

455
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:19,413
into full calm surrender
on their sides.

456
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:23,000
Tsch!

457
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,462
There you go.

458
00:17:26,462 --> 00:17:29,507
Chelsie, this happened
because of you.

459
00:17:29,507 --> 00:17:31,467
[Chelsie] What I just did 'cause
I got nervous for a second.

460
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:32,969
[Cesar] That's correct.

461
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:36,055
This is the second time I've
seen Chelsie's nervous energy

462
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:39,016
trigger Bailey
into instigating a fight

463
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,601
with her packmate Stella.

464
00:17:40,601 --> 00:17:41,894
[Chelsie] Oh, no.

465
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:43,896
[Cesar] That's all right.
You stay right there.

466
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,940
Tsch! Tsch!

467
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:46,899
[Chelsie] Bailey!

468
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:51,153
[Cesar] It's only
when they come to you,

469
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:53,531
and then you get nervous,
they get into a fight.

470
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:54,657
[Chelsie] Yeah.

471
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:57,535
I was very nervous
because I just knew,

472
00:17:57,535 --> 00:18:01,455
even when they are calm, they
could still get into a fight.

473
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:04,458
But again, it's just my energy,

474
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:07,586
so the more that we work on it,
the easier that will be

475
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:10,506
and the less nervous
I'll become.

476
00:18:10,506 --> 00:18:12,883
[Cesar] So, it's best
to remove the emotion

477
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:15,303
and just be
mechanical about it.

478
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:16,596
[Chelsie] Okay,
you can easily do that,

479
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:19,849
but I wonder, like,
how I would do that.

480
00:18:19,849 --> 00:18:23,185
[Cesar] Once again, I'm seeing
how Chelsie's nervousness

481
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:26,814
is not only triggering fights,
but it's also stopping her

482
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:29,692
from giving the dogs
the leadership they need.

483
00:18:29,692 --> 00:18:33,446
I want to talk with Chelsie
one-on-one about her story

484
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,574
and find out where this
nervous energy is coming from.

485
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:37,867
All right.

486
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,452
[Chelsie] Nice shade over here.

487
00:18:39,452 --> 00:18:41,787
[Cesar] Mm-hmm.

488
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,164
I want to hear your story.

489
00:18:43,164 --> 00:18:46,542
[Chelsie] Okay. I grew up
as a competitive dancer

490
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:49,545
and started competing nationally
and regionally when I was five.

491
00:18:49,545 --> 00:18:53,382
That's kind of where my passion
of dance really formed.

492
00:18:53,382 --> 00:18:55,843
I competed until
I was about 15,

493
00:18:55,843 --> 00:18:57,303
and then when I was
in high school,

494
00:18:57,303 --> 00:18:59,430
I was part of
the high school dance team.

495
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:02,767
I loved it. It was
everything in my life.

496
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:06,395
But my whole life changed when
I was a senior in high school.

497
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:11,442
I was out with friends
at a party,

498
00:19:11,442 --> 00:19:15,404
and I needed to go home
because I had work the next day.

499
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:17,656
Seven of us piled
into a five-seater car.

500
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:22,328
I remember we passed my house
and the driver said,

501
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:23,746
"Oh, hey, do you
want to get out?"

502
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:25,039
And so I was like,
"No, it's fine.

503
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,083
You can let me out
when we come back into town."

504
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:30,127
And we never made it
back into town.

505
00:19:33,631 --> 00:19:37,259
We ended up hitting a tree
going about 35 miles an hour.

506
00:19:37,259 --> 00:19:41,263
My back snapped, and I was
paralyzed instantly.

507
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:44,016
So, that's kind of
how my life changed.

508
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:45,267
[Cesar] Hmm.

509
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:47,895
Chelsie's story
is heartbreaking.

510
00:19:47,895 --> 00:19:50,314
At a young age,
she faced a challenge

511
00:19:50,314 --> 00:19:52,983
most of us can't imagine.

512
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:57,988
But today she's a mom, dancer,
and successful business owner.

513
00:19:57,988 --> 00:20:00,991
She's thriving despite
the enormous setback

514
00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:02,451
she has overcome.

515
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:06,372
[Chelsie] There is something
about going through that,

516
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:09,792
the deepest low, the lowest low,

517
00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:13,087
and being able
to fight through that,

518
00:20:13,087 --> 00:20:14,547
whether it's emotional
or physical.

519
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:15,965
[Cesar] Yes, yes.

520
00:20:15,965 --> 00:20:18,008
[Chelsie] And a lot of people
look at me and they go,

521
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:20,177
"Wow, I could never deal
with what you're dealing with."

522
00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:24,223
I didn't want this life, but if
I was supposed to be this way,

523
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:26,684
then I'm going to own it

524
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:29,645
and I'm gonna make it
the best life possible.

525
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:31,105
[Cesar] That's the power
of the mind.

526
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:32,732
[Chelsie] There's
something really special

527
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:36,485
about when you can find
that confidence within you.

528
00:20:36,485 --> 00:20:38,404
And I feel like the more
that I've done that,

529
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:41,282
the stronger I've gotten.

530
00:20:41,282 --> 00:20:42,366
Before my wedding day,

531
00:20:42,366 --> 00:20:44,535
I trained for months
with my leg braces

532
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:46,495
so I could walk down the aisle.

533
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:49,540
I know if I put my mind to it,
I can do anything.

534
00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:53,836
♪ ♪

535
00:20:53,836 --> 00:20:57,673
[Jay] You blow me away every
single day, every single day.

536
00:20:57,673 --> 00:20:59,592
[Chelsie] I think
I just have shown myself

537
00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:02,386
that I can have a beautiful
life without walking.

538
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:03,387
[Cesar] It's pretty remarkable.

539
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:04,555
[Chelsie] Thanks.

540
00:21:04,555 --> 00:21:06,140
[Cesar] But you clearly
have such a confidence

541
00:21:06,140 --> 00:21:09,268
and independence
in other areas of your life.

542
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:13,189
What makes you so nervous
about controlling two bulldogs?

543
00:21:13,189 --> 00:21:16,525
[Chelsie] For me,
when it comes to living life

544
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:19,820
with a spinal cord injury,
living my day-to-day life,

545
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:22,364
going to dance classes,
running a business,

546
00:21:22,364 --> 00:21:24,909
being a mom, I'm like,
"Oh, I got that."

547
00:21:24,909 --> 00:21:25,951
[Cesar] Okay.

548
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:27,369
[Chelsie] But then
handling the dogs,

549
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:30,247
I'm like, I feel
so extra disabled.

550
00:21:30,247 --> 00:21:31,707
[Cesar] Right.

551
00:21:31,707 --> 00:21:34,084
[Chelsie] Because it was like
I was re-paralyzed again.

552
00:21:34,084 --> 00:21:35,461
[Cesar] Wow!

553
00:21:35,461 --> 00:21:37,129
[Chelsie] I don't feel
independent with the dogs,

554
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:39,215
and in my real world,
in my life,

555
00:21:39,215 --> 00:21:41,300
I am very independent
and I am very confident.

556
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:43,219
But for some reason,
around the dogs,

557
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:44,678
it's like this whole new layer

558
00:21:44,678 --> 00:21:46,680
of relearning
how to just live a life

559
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,683
with a disability with the dogs.

560
00:21:49,683 --> 00:21:52,436
[Cesar] I am so inspired
by Chelsie's spirit.

561
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:57,233
After her accident, she fought
hard to regain her independence

562
00:21:57,233 --> 00:22:00,319
so she wouldn't be reliant
on other people.

563
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:05,032
But with her dogs, she feels
so totally dependent on others

564
00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:09,745
that she compares it to
how she felt after her accident.

565
00:22:09,745 --> 00:22:13,666
Even worse, she's home alone
with the dogs much of the time,

566
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:16,794
which must be
incredibly stressful.

567
00:22:16,794 --> 00:22:19,129
We need to take that
independence that you have

568
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:21,006
as a dancer and a mom

569
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,342
and give you independence
with the dogs, too.

570
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,510
[Chelsie] Yeah.

571
00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:26,220
[Cesar] So, we don't
have to build nothing.

572
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:27,221
[Chelsie] Yeah.

573
00:22:27,221 --> 00:22:28,264
[Cesar] 'Cause
it's already there.

574
00:22:28,264 --> 00:22:29,598
We just have
to transfer everything.

575
00:22:29,598 --> 00:22:32,059
[Chelsie] Yeah,
and apply that to the dogs.

576
00:22:32,059 --> 00:22:33,227
[Cesar] That's it.

577
00:22:33,227 --> 00:22:35,896
Chelsie is one
of the strongest pet parents

578
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:37,690
I ever worked with.

579
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:41,318
After her accident, when a lot
of people would have given up,

580
00:22:41,318 --> 00:22:42,611
she never did.

581
00:22:42,611 --> 00:22:45,322
I need to tap into
that incredible spirit

582
00:22:45,322 --> 00:22:48,367
to give her the independence
with her dogs

583
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,535
that she needs.

584
00:22:49,535 --> 00:22:50,536
Let's go.

585
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:51,537
[Chelsie] Okay, let's do it.

586
00:22:51,537 --> 00:22:52,705
[Cesar] Let's do this.

587
00:22:52,705 --> 00:22:54,874
And we're gonna start
doing it right now.

588
00:22:54,874 --> 00:22:55,874
Let's go!

589
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:57,585
[Chelsie] Thank you.

590
00:22:57,585 --> 00:23:00,296
[Cesar] Stopping Bailey
and Stella's fights permanently

591
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:02,673
requires that they get
much more exercise

592
00:23:02,673 --> 00:23:04,967
to burn off their extra energy.

593
00:23:04,967 --> 00:23:08,345
But on day one, Chelsie admitted
that the dogs are not getting

594
00:23:08,345 --> 00:23:11,432
any walks at all
because she feels unsafe.

595
00:23:11,432 --> 00:23:13,434
[Chelsie] Ah! Bailey, stop!
Stop, Bailey! Bailey!

596
00:23:13,434 --> 00:23:17,104
[Cesar] All dogs need exercise,
but especially when they're

597
00:23:17,104 --> 00:23:20,482
channeling their extra
energy into fighting.

598
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:21,984
[Jay] Hey!

599
00:23:21,984 --> 00:23:24,403
[Cesar] Eventually I'll teach
Chelsie how to walk the dogs

600
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,865
outside on her own,
but right now,

601
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:30,451
I'm gonna give her some
basic handling techniques

602
00:23:30,451 --> 00:23:33,829
and a tool that she can
use to walk them by herself

603
00:23:33,829 --> 00:23:35,706
inside the house.

604
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:40,085
So I want to show you guys
how to put them on a treadmill.

605
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:43,464
The importance of the treadmill
is not to avoid the walk

606
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:45,674
because you're going
to learn that eventually,

607
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:48,469
but in the meantime,
we don't want to miss a day

608
00:23:48,469 --> 00:23:50,930
removing physical energy
from a dog.

609
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:53,682
It's important for them just
to drain their physical energy.

610
00:23:53,682 --> 00:23:54,767
[Chelsie] Totally.

611
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:56,018
[Cesar] All right,
so it's just easier.

612
00:23:56,018 --> 00:23:57,102
[Jay] Can I get
on the treadmill?

613
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:58,646
[Cesar] Yeah, you can, you can.

614
00:23:58,646 --> 00:24:01,398
Treadmills are a great way
of giving exercise

615
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:02,858
without leaving the home,

616
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:06,278
but it takes dogs a moment
to get used to a moving floor.

617
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:09,323
The human must project
calm confident leadership

618
00:24:09,323 --> 00:24:12,284
to help them through
that initial struggle.

619
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:15,037
I'm gonna start with Bailey,
then you'll do it, Chelsie.

620
00:24:15,037 --> 00:24:20,834
♪ ♪

621
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:23,462
She has no idea that the floor
is about to move.

622
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:24,755
[Jay] Get back out.

623
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:28,342
[Cesar] Just to see
how the brain reacts.

624
00:24:28,342 --> 00:24:29,468
There you go.

625
00:24:32,513 --> 00:24:35,140
There you go, there you go.

626
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:36,266
This is good, this is good,
this is good.

627
00:24:36,266 --> 00:24:37,768
[Chelsie] Aw.

628
00:24:37,768 --> 00:24:39,019
Oop. Oop.

629
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:40,896
[Cesar] No, Chelsie,
this won't get aggressive,

630
00:24:40,896 --> 00:24:42,398
unless you're nervous.

631
00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:43,774
[Chelsie] Hey.

632
00:24:46,110 --> 00:24:47,486
[Cesar] Shh, shh, shh.
Stay calm.

633
00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:49,905
Stella is here
to help her, not fight.

634
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:52,533
This is good, this is good,
this is good,

635
00:24:52,533 --> 00:24:54,785
because she's trying,
she's coming to soothe her.

636
00:24:54,785 --> 00:24:55,786
[Chelsie] Oh.

637
00:24:55,786 --> 00:24:56,787
[Jay] Gotcha.

638
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:58,038
[Chelsie] Wow.

639
00:24:58,038 --> 00:24:59,790
[Cesar] There you go.
Can you see it?

640
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:01,291
[Chelsie] Mm-hmm.
This is really great.

641
00:25:01,291 --> 00:25:02,668
[Cesar] See what I mean?
[Chelsie] Yeah.

642
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,628
It honestly really shocked me

643
00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:06,630
that they didn't
get into a fight

644
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:10,259
because I didn't realize
what that body language means.

645
00:25:10,259 --> 00:25:12,886
That made me feel like,
okay, I'm not as nervous.

646
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:14,054
This is what we want.

647
00:25:14,054 --> 00:25:15,681
[Cesar] That's it,
you can do it.

648
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:17,266
[Chelsie] And now she's great.

649
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:18,600
[Cesar] Right.

650
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,104
Just now we saw how Chelsie
is misreading the dogs

651
00:25:22,104 --> 00:25:25,482
and anticipating fights
when she shouldn't.

652
00:25:25,482 --> 00:25:26,650
[Chelsie] Hey.

653
00:25:26,650 --> 00:25:28,652
[Cesar] But Chelsie
is starting to realize

654
00:25:28,652 --> 00:25:32,030
that if she stays calm,
the dogs will stay calm, too.

655
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:36,744
When she reads her dogs better,
the fights never develop.

656
00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:40,038
This is a great start,
but now I need to test Chelsie

657
00:25:40,038 --> 00:25:42,708
by having her bring
her second dog, Stella,

658
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:45,502
onto the treadmill
next to Bailey.

659
00:25:45,502 --> 00:25:48,005
All right, Chelsie,
so now it's your turn.

660
00:25:48,005 --> 00:25:50,924
Let's put a leash on Stella
so she can come and join us.

661
00:25:50,924 --> 00:25:53,552
Remember, calm confidence.

662
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:54,803
Right?

663
00:25:54,803 --> 00:25:55,929
[Chelsie] I don't really
know what to expect

664
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:57,306
when it comes to the treadmill,

665
00:25:57,306 --> 00:26:00,893
but I'm thinking it's not
gonna be that easy for me.

666
00:26:00,893 --> 00:26:03,145
[Cesar] So, pull her over
in front of the treadmill

667
00:26:03,145 --> 00:26:05,189
and present
the treadmill to her.

668
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:07,107
Yeah, make it easy
for your girl.

669
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:10,402
[Chelsie] Up, up.
Come on, Stella. Up, up!

670
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:11,403
[Cesar] Come on.

671
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:13,322
Apply slight tension
on the leash

672
00:26:13,322 --> 00:26:16,241
so she knows what you want.

673
00:26:16,241 --> 00:26:17,242
Come on. There we go.

674
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:18,243
[Chelsie] There we go.

675
00:26:18,243 --> 00:26:19,244
[Cesar] There we go!
There you go!

676
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,704
[Chelsie] Wow!

677
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,456
[Jay] Good job, guys.

678
00:26:22,456 --> 00:26:24,166
[Chelsie] Hi.

679
00:26:24,166 --> 00:26:28,212
This is amazing
and super easy for me to do.

680
00:26:28,212 --> 00:26:31,465
[Jay] That's cool to see you
like, "I can do this."

681
00:26:31,465 --> 00:26:35,302
You're learning how to be
more confident with the dogs.

682
00:26:35,302 --> 00:26:37,679
[Chelsie] I think
that's really cool.

683
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:38,555
[Jay] Yeah.

684
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:41,975
[Chelsie] Oh, my gosh.

685
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:46,230
I just like...

686
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:47,231
Sorry, I feel like--

687
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:48,941
[Cesar] No, no, share.

688
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:50,442
[sniffles]

689
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,194
[Chelsie] 'Cause I'm thinking
that I can actually do this

690
00:26:52,194 --> 00:26:56,615
independently without having
to ask someone for help.

691
00:26:56,615 --> 00:27:00,661
It's cool I finally
see that as an option,

692
00:27:00,661 --> 00:27:03,080
because I didn't think
it was possible.

693
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,832
It's just really cool.

694
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:08,585
I got emotional because going
on a walk with the dogs

695
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:11,505
as a wheelchair user
has always been hard for me

696
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:12,798
to do by myself,

697
00:27:12,798 --> 00:27:17,302
and I always feel like
I'm letting the dogs down.

698
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:18,554
[Jay] Should we
call makeup over?

699
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:19,763
[Chelsie] My gosh.

700
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:22,140
So, that really
meant a lot to me.

701
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,642
[Jay] Good job, guys.

702
00:27:23,642 --> 00:27:25,310
[Chelsie] This is amazing.

703
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:26,812
[Cesar] This is huge!

704
00:27:26,812 --> 00:27:31,358
Chelsie's a big step closer to
real independence with her dogs.

705
00:27:31,358 --> 00:27:33,861
But there's still
much more work to do here

706
00:27:33,861 --> 00:27:35,279
before I feel confident

707
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:38,156
that Bailey's aggression
has stopped completely.

708
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,199
That was very mental.

709
00:27:39,199 --> 00:27:40,450
[Chelsie] Yeah.
[Jay] Right.

710
00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:41,785
[Cesar] The homework
is the treadmill

711
00:27:41,785 --> 00:27:42,786
and practicing your calmness.

712
00:27:42,786 --> 00:27:43,787
[Chelsie] Mm-hmm.

713
00:27:43,787 --> 00:27:45,455
[Cesar] I'll see you
in a few days.

714
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:46,456
[Chelsie] Happy dogs!

715
00:27:46,456 --> 00:27:47,541
[Jay] Awesome!
[Cesar] Mm-hmm.

716
00:27:47,541 --> 00:27:48,917
[Chelsie] Wow, it's cool.

717
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:55,257
<i>[Narrator] A few days later,
Cesar asks Chelsie to meet him</i>

718
00:27:55,257 --> 00:27:59,469
<i>for one-on-one work
with Stella and Bailey.</i>

719
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:01,805
[Cesar] Chelsie admits
that with her dogs,

720
00:28:01,805 --> 00:28:04,766
she still feels reliant
on other people.

721
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:07,603
[Chelsie] Handling the dogs, I'm
like, I feel so extra disabled.

722
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:09,062
[Cesar] Right.

723
00:28:09,062 --> 00:28:11,523
[Chelsie] Because it was like
I was re-paralyzed again.

724
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:14,151
[Cesar] I want to prove to her
that she can handle her dogs

725
00:28:14,151 --> 00:28:18,488
completely by herself, so
I invited just Chelsie today.

726
00:28:18,488 --> 00:28:22,284
And we're meeting in a place
where Chelsie has developed

727
00:28:22,284 --> 00:28:25,662
a powerful sense of
independence and confidence:

728
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:26,955
the dance studio.

729
00:28:29,625 --> 00:28:33,587
We need to tap into that energy
for the next part of our work.

730
00:28:33,587 --> 00:28:37,549
♪ ♪

731
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:38,759
[Chelsie] Hi!
[Cesar] How are you?

732
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:39,801
[Chelsie] Good. How are you?

733
00:28:39,801 --> 00:28:41,386
[Cesar] Really good.

734
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:43,347
I want to focus
one-on-one with you.

735
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:44,723
[Chelsie] Okay.

736
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:46,892
[Cesar] So you can learn
to control them on your own.

737
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:48,101
[Chelsie] Yeah.

738
00:28:48,101 --> 00:28:49,811
[Cesar] Today I'm gonna
teach Chelsie how to do

739
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:51,980
something she's
never done before,

740
00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:57,069
walk both dogs at the same time
by herself outside.

741
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:58,862
I'm gonna begin
by showing her

742
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,323
that when it comes
to controlling the dogs,

743
00:29:01,323 --> 00:29:03,659
her wheelchair
isn't a liability,

744
00:29:03,659 --> 00:29:05,327
it's a secret weapon.

745
00:29:05,327 --> 00:29:07,329
Actually you have
a lot more power

746
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:09,748
because you have a vehicle.

747
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,209
So if you know how to use it,
which is my goal,

748
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:13,251
you become more powerful.

749
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:14,628
[Chelsie] Yeah.

750
00:29:14,628 --> 00:29:17,130
[Cesar] I'll start by having
people enter the studio,

751
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:18,966
which will get
the dogs excited.

752
00:29:18,966 --> 00:29:21,718
I'll show Chelsie
how to get them calm

753
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:24,721
using just the leashes
and her wheelchair.

754
00:29:24,721 --> 00:29:28,016
And as always, it's critical
that she stays calm confident

755
00:29:28,016 --> 00:29:32,354
and does not feed the dogs
nervous energy.

756
00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:34,231
Distance equals
respect for dogs,

757
00:29:34,231 --> 00:29:36,608
so hold them
on either side of the chair

758
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:37,609
so there is a distance.

759
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:38,860
[Chelsie] Okay.

760
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:40,112
[Cesar] Now come on in, guys!

761
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:42,072
[knock on door]

762
00:29:42,072 --> 00:29:44,074
Come in!

763
00:29:44,074 --> 00:29:45,158
[bark]

764
00:29:48,745 --> 00:29:49,913
[Guest] Hi.

765
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:51,123
[Cesar] Bailey's
getting excited,

766
00:29:51,123 --> 00:29:53,625
so I'll correct her
and make her sit.

767
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:56,169
[Chelsie] I can see
Bailey's like, doing some--

768
00:29:56,169 --> 00:29:58,380
Bailey! Hey! No!

769
00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:03,093
[Cesar] No, she's excited.
Don't feed her nervousness.

770
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:04,094
Tsch!

771
00:30:04,094 --> 00:30:07,556
[Chelsie] Bailey! Come!
Hey, tsch!

772
00:30:07,556 --> 00:30:09,141
Bailey, Bailey, Bailey!

773
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:10,809
Hey, hey, tsch!

774
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:12,936
[Cesar] No. Stay quiet.
Stay quiet.

775
00:30:16,023 --> 00:30:17,315
[Chelsie] Hey! Tsch!
Bailey, no, tsch!

776
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:19,359
Bailey, no! Hey!

777
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,446
[Cesar] Tsch!

778
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:25,073
Tsch! Tsch!

779
00:30:25,073 --> 00:30:26,533
Bailey was a little bit excited,

780
00:30:26,533 --> 00:30:29,661
but then she started feeding
off your energy and words.

781
00:30:29,661 --> 00:30:31,580
Bailey's like,
"But you told me to fight."

782
00:30:31,580 --> 00:30:32,789
[Chelsie] Yeah.

783
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,624
[Cesar] With your worried
words and energy.

784
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:35,751
[Chelsie] That's
what she's used to.

785
00:30:35,751 --> 00:30:36,710
[Cesar] That's what
she's used to.

786
00:30:36,710 --> 00:30:38,545
[Chelsie] Yeah, wow.

787
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:39,963
[Cesar] So, now it's your turn.

788
00:30:39,963 --> 00:30:41,923
First get them calm
and keep calm yourself.

789
00:30:41,923 --> 00:30:43,341
[Chelsie] Okay.

790
00:30:43,341 --> 00:30:45,635
[Cesar] And then use your chair
to create distance, okay?

791
00:30:45,635 --> 00:30:47,471
[Chelsie] Cool.

792
00:30:47,471 --> 00:30:49,890
So, you want me
to not move around?

793
00:30:49,890 --> 00:30:51,099
[Cesar] You can.
[Chelsie] Okay.

794
00:30:51,099 --> 00:30:53,310
[Cesar] Whatever it takes,
whatever it needs.

795
00:30:53,310 --> 00:30:54,352
Tsch!

796
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:55,687
[Chelsie] I was nervous

797
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:58,523
because that's just
what I'm used to doing,

798
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:00,525
just always being cautious.

799
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:02,569
Sit. Thank you.

800
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:06,239
[Cesar] Come on in!

801
00:31:06,239 --> 00:31:07,532
[Chelsie] Tsch!

802
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:08,533
[barking]

803
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:09,534
Tsch!

804
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:10,619
[Guest] Hi!

805
00:31:10,619 --> 00:31:11,620
[Chelsie] Hello!

806
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:13,997
Tsch! Tsch! Ah ah!

807
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:16,166
[Cesar] Bailey's really getting
excited. Get her calm.

808
00:31:16,166 --> 00:31:17,542
[Chelsie] Bailey! Stella!

809
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:18,585
Hey! No!

810
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:19,628
[Cesar] Bring them in,
bring them in.

811
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:20,670
She's going away from you.

812
00:31:20,670 --> 00:31:21,963
[Chelsie] Hey!

813
00:31:21,963 --> 00:31:24,007
[Cesar] You're using your words
when all you need is

814
00:31:24,007 --> 00:31:26,343
to shorten up the leash
and use your chair.

815
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:27,302
[Chelsie] Tsch!

816
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:31,348
[Cesar] Let's do it again.

817
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:32,349
[Chelsie] Okay.

818
00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:34,184
[Cesar] Yeah.

819
00:31:34,184 --> 00:31:36,186
Use your wheelchair
to create a separation.

820
00:31:36,186 --> 00:31:38,105
Let me show you.
So, she's here, right?

821
00:31:38,105 --> 00:31:39,523
[Chelsie] Okay.

822
00:31:39,523 --> 00:31:42,776
[Cesar] So, instead of me
saying, "Come on," just move in.

823
00:31:42,776 --> 00:31:44,319
[Chelsie] Move in.
Move her out of the way.

824
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,320
[Cesar] Boom.

825
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,656
[Chelsie] Okay. Okay.

826
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:48,824
[Cesar] Come in!

827
00:31:48,824 --> 00:31:49,825
[bark]

828
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:51,451
[Chelsie] Tsch! Tsch!

829
00:31:51,451 --> 00:31:53,537
[Cesar] All right,
good correction.

830
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:56,414
But now get them
on either side of the chair.

831
00:31:56,414 --> 00:31:58,375
[Chelsie] Uh-uh. Stella, no!

832
00:31:58,375 --> 00:32:00,544
Hey, come here,
Stella, no! Tsch!

833
00:32:00,544 --> 00:32:03,922
[Cesar] They need to be next to
you with your chair in between.

834
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,550
[Chelsie] Sit.

835
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:07,551
Sit.

836
00:32:09,386 --> 00:32:10,720
[Cesar] There you go.

837
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,431
You spoke less and used
your calm confident energy

838
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:14,808
to settle them down.

839
00:32:14,808 --> 00:32:17,227
You handled that really good.

840
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:18,812
[Chelsie] I feel really excited

841
00:32:18,812 --> 00:32:22,315
because I'm realizing
that I can control the dogs,

842
00:32:22,315 --> 00:32:27,028
so I see the light at the end,
and I see how the dogs can be.

843
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:29,614
Like today was a great example
of how the dogs can be,

844
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:34,494
and that just, like, makes me
want to cry happy tears.

845
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:37,164
[Cesar] Okay, now it's time
to put these skills to use

846
00:32:37,164 --> 00:32:39,291
with a solo dog walk outside.

847
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:40,709
[Chelsie] All right.
We're going outside. Okay.

848
00:32:40,709 --> 00:32:42,043
[Cesar] Yes.

849
00:32:42,043 --> 00:32:44,921
On day one, Chelsie told me
she was not comfortable

850
00:32:44,921 --> 00:32:46,882
walking the dogs by herself.

851
00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:49,426
[Chelsie] Ah, Bailey, stop!
Bailey, Bailey, Bailey,

852
00:32:49,426 --> 00:32:51,386
Bailey, aah!

853
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:53,722
[Cesar] By using the skills
I just showed her,

854
00:32:53,722 --> 00:32:56,349
she should be able
to fully control this pack

855
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,310
and walk them by herself.

856
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:01,479
And I'll give her one more tool
that will help her as well.

857
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:04,065
Bailey will totally benefit
with a weighted vest

858
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:05,859
to drain a lot more energy.

859
00:33:05,859 --> 00:33:07,944
We're gonna do the same thing
we were doing inside,

860
00:33:07,944 --> 00:33:08,945
except we're gonna be walking.

861
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:10,280
[Chelsie] Yeah.

862
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,698
[Cesar] Start with them calm
and then use the chair

863
00:33:11,698 --> 00:33:13,325
to keep the dogs
on either side of you.

864
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:14,326
[Chelsie] Okay.

865
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:16,119
[Cesar] All right.

866
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:17,495
[Chelsie] Okay, let's go.

867
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:20,081
I usually don't
walk them together, so.

868
00:33:20,081 --> 00:33:23,001
[Cesar] Make sure
you use your chair.

869
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:25,420
See if you can switch Bailey
on the other side

870
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:26,963
'cause they're
finding their spot.

871
00:33:26,963 --> 00:33:28,340
[Chelsie] I just don't
want to roll over her.

872
00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:29,716
[Cesar] The leashes
are too long,

873
00:33:29,716 --> 00:33:32,427
so let's shorten up Bailey's
to get more leverage.

874
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:34,930
Since Stella is more
calm and well-behaved,

875
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:38,642
we can give her more leash and
just tie it to the wheelchair.

876
00:33:38,642 --> 00:33:41,519
Bailey is more reactive,
so Chelsie must keep

877
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:44,189
a short leash in hand
for more control.

878
00:33:44,189 --> 00:33:46,107
Now you're gonna have
way more control.

879
00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:47,692
And it keeps them right here,

880
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:48,985
because this is where
they should be,

881
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:50,487
right there, right next to you.

882
00:33:50,487 --> 00:33:52,239
[Chelsie] Okay, let's go.

883
00:33:52,239 --> 00:33:54,074
[Cesar] You see what I mean?
There you go, see it?

884
00:33:54,074 --> 00:33:55,909
[Chelsie] Yeah, that's better.

885
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:57,619
Yeah.

886
00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:59,579
That I understand now
'cause then, 'cause then

887
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:00,705
they're next to me
instead of in front of me.

888
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:01,706
[Cesar] Exactly.

889
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:03,500
[Chelsie] Okay.

890
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:04,960
[Cesar] It's only one choice,

891
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,504
the choice of follow you
or to take you somewhere.

892
00:34:07,504 --> 00:34:09,214
[Chelsie] Okay.

893
00:34:09,214 --> 00:34:10,966
[Cesar] That's much better.

894
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:13,385
[Chelsie] Wow! It's really nice.

895
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:14,928
[Cesar] So, the more
you do things like that,

896
00:34:14,928 --> 00:34:16,721
the more they learn
to believe this is life.

897
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:17,764
[Chelsie] Yeah.

898
00:34:17,764 --> 00:34:19,057
[Cesar] This is
what we do with her.

899
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:22,602
[Chelsie] They're doing good.

900
00:34:22,602 --> 00:34:26,147
If you were to ask me to do what
I did today a few weeks ago,

901
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:29,442
I would have
probably wanted to cry.

902
00:34:29,442 --> 00:34:30,443
[Cesar] Hey,
that was a good one.

903
00:34:30,443 --> 00:34:31,528
[Chelsie] Okay.

904
00:34:31,528 --> 00:34:32,821
[Cesar] Yeah,
that was a good one.

905
00:34:32,821 --> 00:34:35,991
[Chelsie] But now I feel
a sense of freedom

906
00:34:35,991 --> 00:34:38,076
and a sense of confidence

907
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:40,787
that I never really
thought I could feel,

908
00:34:40,787 --> 00:34:43,206
so I'm, like, shocked.

909
00:34:43,206 --> 00:34:44,374
[Cesar] But this is something
you should have done

910
00:34:44,374 --> 00:34:45,375
a long time ago.

911
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:46,501
[Chelsie] I know.

912
00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:48,628
[Cesar] Chelsie
is doing a great job.

913
00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:50,922
Instead of excited
pulling from Bailey...

914
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,967
[Chelsie] Bailey, wait, wait!

915
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:55,593
Aah!

916
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:58,221
[Cesar] ...now she walks
calmly beside her pet mom,

917
00:34:58,221 --> 00:35:00,140
and there is no sign
of aggression

918
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,058
between the two dogs
right now.

919
00:35:02,058 --> 00:35:03,977
[Chelsie] There we go,
we did it!

920
00:35:03,977 --> 00:35:05,437
[Cesar] We all sure did it.

921
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:08,106
But Chelsie is far
from mastering the skills

922
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:09,816
I taught her
these past few days.

923
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:11,401
To truly stop these fights,

924
00:35:11,401 --> 00:35:14,738
she must continue practicing
at home without my support.

925
00:35:14,738 --> 00:35:16,239
She has a lot more work to do,

926
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,327
and she'll have to do it
on her own for the first time.

927
00:35:20,327 --> 00:35:22,329
Definitely we have to do
a little bit more work.

928
00:35:22,329 --> 00:35:23,330
[Chelsie] Mm-hmm.

929
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:24,581
[Cesar] Okay?
[Chelsie] Okay.

930
00:35:24,581 --> 00:35:25,915
[Cesar] The follow-through
with the homework

931
00:35:25,915 --> 00:35:28,460
is extremely important
for you to see this at home

932
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:30,003
'cause that's
the end result, you know?

933
00:35:30,003 --> 00:35:31,463
[Chelsie] Yeah.

934
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:33,548
[Cesar] So keep practicing
what we did here today, okay?

935
00:35:33,548 --> 00:35:34,549
[Chelsie] Okay, cool.

936
00:35:34,549 --> 00:35:35,675

does not want to go

She seems calm confident

982
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:29,164
and that has a big
effect on the dogs.

983
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:31,416

barking and excited

But now they're super calm

00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,749
There you go. Ride the wave,
baby, ride the wave.

1022
00:38:58,169 --> 00:38:59,671
That's it.

1023
00:38:59,671 --> 00:39:01,172
Well done.

1024
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:02,590
[Chelsie] Yep.
[Cesar] Yep, you got it.

1025
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:06,511
Chelsie's calm confidence
is calming down Bailey,

1026
00:39:06,511 --> 00:39:09,180
whereas before,
Chelsie was too nervous

1027
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:10,974
to walk the dogs by herself.

1028
00:39:10,974 --> 00:39:15,103
Now she has the skills
and tools to walk alone

1029
00:39:15,103 --> 00:39:16,771
whenever she needs to.

1030
00:39:16,771 --> 00:39:19,148
Everything that you did
right there was precise.

1031
00:39:19,148 --> 00:39:22,068
And also, Chelsie
has the independence

1032
00:39:22,068 --> 00:39:25,780
to handle her dogs
completely by herself.

1033
00:39:25,780 --> 00:39:27,490
[Chelsie] I've been able
to use this tool

1034
00:39:27,490 --> 00:39:28,491
to make it work for my life.

1035
00:39:28,491 --> 00:39:29,909
[Cesar] Yes, ma'am.

1036
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:31,786
[Chelsie] And make me feel
more independent with the dogs.

1037
00:39:31,786 --> 00:39:35,957
You know, having two dogs and
a child and have a disability,

1038
00:39:35,957 --> 00:39:37,292
it's, it's a lot.

1039
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:38,793
This has been
a game changer for us.

1040
00:39:38,793 --> 00:39:41,004
[Cesar] All right, well, let's
go for the final challenge.

1041
00:39:41,004 --> 00:39:43,131
[Jay] All right.
[Chelsie] Okay.

1042
00:39:43,131 --> 00:39:44,424
[Cesar] Over the past few weeks,

1043
00:39:44,424 --> 00:39:46,884
I've shown Chelsie
how to practice calmness

1044
00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:49,387
to prevent excitement
and fights,

1045
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,639
especially at the front door.

1046
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:54,475
The ultimate test of
this pack's progress will be

1047
00:39:54,475 --> 00:39:57,937
if anyone can come
in the door at anytime

1048
00:39:57,937 --> 00:40:00,982
without excitement
or aggression from Bailey.

1049
00:40:00,982 --> 00:40:03,401
There was a really difficult
time, you know,

1050
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:04,861
bringing people
through the door.

1051
00:40:04,861 --> 00:40:07,572
So the final challenge is
I want to see Jay coming home

1052
00:40:07,572 --> 00:40:08,656
through the front door.

1053
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:09,657
I just want to see you
in action.

1054
00:40:09,657 --> 00:40:10,658
Do your thing, man.

1055
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:11,784
[Jay] All right.

1056
00:40:11,784 --> 00:40:12,827
[Cesar] Just show me
what you have done.

1057
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:14,037
[Chelsie] Okay, bye!

1058
00:40:14,037 --> 00:40:15,455
Going into the final challenge,

1059
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:20,668
I am feeling very confident,
but I'm also feeling like,

1060
00:40:20,668 --> 00:40:23,046
is there gonna be
something that messes this up?

1061
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:25,214
So I'm really actually
holding my breath.

1062
00:40:25,214 --> 00:40:26,341
[Cesar] On day one,

1063
00:40:26,341 --> 00:40:29,552
this situation led
directly to a fight.

1064
00:40:29,552 --> 00:40:30,595
[Jay] Hey!

1065
00:40:30,595 --> 00:40:31,679
[Chelsie] Bailey! Bailey!

1066
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:33,348
[Cesar] If Chelsie
has been doing the work

1067
00:40:33,348 --> 00:40:35,183
by feeding calm energy
to the dogs

1068
00:40:35,183 --> 00:40:37,477
before anyone enters the home,

1069
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:40,730
then Jay should be able
to come in without any issues.

1070
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:44,025
So, I am looking for Chelsie
to be calm and confident

1071
00:40:44,025 --> 00:40:46,152
right now around these dogs.

1072
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:54,160
[Chelsie] Be calm.

1073
00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:58,331
[Cesar] There you go.

1074
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:00,208
All right, come on in.

1075
00:41:04,003 --> 00:41:05,004
Here he comes.

1076
00:41:05,004 --> 00:41:06,047
[Chelsie] Hey.

1077
00:41:10,009 --> 00:41:12,345
[Cesar] Very good.

1078
00:41:12,345 --> 00:41:13,763
[Jay] How you doing?
[Chelsie] Hi.

1079
00:41:13,763 --> 00:41:14,764
[Cesar] There you go.

1080
00:41:14,764 --> 00:41:17,183
I love the greeting
of the queen

1081
00:41:17,183 --> 00:41:19,560
and the calm confidence.

1082
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,688
Wow!

1083
00:41:21,688 --> 00:41:22,730
[Chelsie] Did we pass?

1084
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:23,940
[Cesar] My God, beyond.

1085
00:41:23,940 --> 00:41:25,608
[Chelsie] Did we pass
the Cesar Millan test?

1086
00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:26,609
[Cesar] Yeah!

1087
00:41:26,609 --> 00:41:28,820
[Chelsie] Oh, my gosh!

1088
00:41:28,820 --> 00:41:30,071
[Cesar] That was perfect.

1089
00:41:30,071 --> 00:41:31,948
Before Jay came in the door,

1090
00:41:31,948 --> 00:41:35,034
Chelsie fed the dogs
calm confident energy,

1091
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:37,036
which got them
perfectly calm.

1092
00:41:37,036 --> 00:41:38,204
[Chelsie] Be calm.

1093
00:41:38,204 --> 00:41:40,081
[Cesar] Then when Jay
entered the door,

1094
00:41:40,081 --> 00:41:42,709
she continued to feed
the dogs calm energy.

1095
00:41:42,709 --> 00:41:43,668
[Cesar] Here he comes.

1096
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:44,836
[Chelsie] Hey.

1097
00:41:44,836 --> 00:41:47,004
[Cesar] And the dogs
never got overexcited.

1098
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:48,214
There you go.

1099
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:51,634
This is an amazing
transformation by Chelsie.

1100
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:54,012
[Chelsie] Everything that we've
implemented has definitely

1101
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:58,850
made them way more calm, and
I feel more confident, like--

1102
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:02,645
Tsch! Tsch! Hey!

1103
00:42:02,645 --> 00:42:05,356
I saw Stella and Bailey kind of
look at each other for a second,

1104
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:07,316
so I just wanted
to use my chair to get...

1105
00:42:07,316 --> 00:42:08,359
[Cesar] Get it out of the way.

1106
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:10,319
[Chelsie] ...to break up
the eye contact.

1107
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:12,780
[Cesar] You did it, girl!
You did it!

1108
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:14,323
You take care of the business,

1109
00:42:14,323 --> 00:42:15,742
so, it was like
you didn't even--

1110
00:42:15,742 --> 00:42:17,535
I don't want to be nervous, bam!

1111
00:42:17,535 --> 00:42:18,745
That is amazing!

1112
00:42:18,745 --> 00:42:20,079
[Chelsie] Yep, using
the tools that I have.

1113
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:21,789
[Cesar] You did!

1114
00:42:21,789 --> 00:42:23,624
You did it
without even thinking!

1115
00:42:23,624 --> 00:42:26,919
That was even better
than the final challenge.

1116
00:42:26,919 --> 00:42:28,254
[Chelsie] For so long,

1117
00:42:28,254 --> 00:42:31,924
I was holding my breath
around the dogs, and now

1118
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,886
I'm not as tense because
we know how to correct them,

1119
00:42:34,886 --> 00:42:37,054
we know how to stop them
ahead of time.

1120
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:40,016
I finally feel
like we can breathe.

1121
00:42:40,016 --> 00:42:41,017
It's been a beautiful shift.

1122
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:42,393
[Cesar] Thank you.

1123
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:44,562
[Chelsie] I didn't know
what to expect going into this.

1124
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:45,855
[Jay] We were ready
to give up the dogs.

1125
00:42:45,855 --> 00:42:47,231
[Chelsie] Yeah!

1126
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:51,319
Like, we were full-on ready,
like talking about it.

1127
00:42:51,319 --> 00:42:54,405
For a long time, I felt
like the dogs ruled me

1128
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:56,032
and the dogs ran my life.

1129
00:42:56,032 --> 00:42:58,659
Stop! Bailey, Bailey,
Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey!

1130
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:02,789
But I've learned that it
doesn't have to be my reality.

1131
00:43:02,789 --> 00:43:04,082
Thank you.

1132
00:43:04,082 --> 00:43:05,374
[Cesar] I appreciate it.
[Chelsie] Thank you.

1133
00:43:05,374 --> 00:43:06,292
[Cesar] There you go.
[Jay] Thank you.

1134
00:43:08,628 --> 00:43:11,714
[Chelsie] This process has
given me back an independence,

1135
00:43:11,714 --> 00:43:14,759
and now I really do feel
like it is possible

1136
00:43:14,759 --> 00:43:17,178
to have a happy life
with two dogs.

1137
00:43:17,178 --> 00:43:18,346
[Jay] Hello!

1138
00:43:18,346 --> 00:43:19,347
[Chelsie] It's what
we've always wanted,

1139
00:43:19,347 --> 00:43:21,432
and we did it, right?

1140
00:43:23,017 --> 00:43:24,602
[Jay] Hi, Mr. Cesar!
[Cesar] Yes!

1141
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:25,937
[Chelsie] And it really is true.

1142
00:43:25,937 --> 00:43:27,563
Better human, better dog.

1143
00:43:27,563 --> 00:43:30,441
You have to train the human
in order to have a good dog.

1144
00:43:30,441 --> 00:43:32,610
[Cesar] Bye! [laughing]

1145
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:33,820
[Chelsie] Yay!

1146
00:43:33,820 --> 00:43:35,071
[Jay] That was awesome.

1147
00:43:38,449 --> 00:43:40,326
[Cesar] There are
some pet parents you meet

1148
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:42,411
that are truly, truly special.

1149
00:43:42,411 --> 00:43:45,665
Whether it's the challenges
they've overcome in their past

1150
00:43:45,665 --> 00:43:48,918
or the grit and determination
they show in their life today,

1151
00:43:48,918 --> 00:43:50,878
their spirit shines so bright,

1152
00:43:50,878 --> 00:43:52,713
you can't help but see life

1153
00:43:52,713 --> 00:43:54,090
in a brand-new way.

1154
00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:55,716
I always say
the dogs I work with

1155
00:43:55,716 --> 00:43:57,552
make me a better human,

1156
00:43:57,552 --> 00:43:59,554
but it's the pet parents
sometimes

1157
00:43:59,554 --> 00:44:02,098
that inspire me just as much.
