Some might say Cesar Millan speaks dog.

The charismatic dog trainer has spent decades building something of an empire on the deceptively simple concept of educating owners about their pet’s behavior. Via his television series, New York Times best-selling books and videos, the three-time Emmy-nominated celebrity woof expert extolls the virtues of the bond between man and dog.

“Everybody wants a loving, well-behaved dog, everybody wants to have a dog as a soulmate – all of that is a good dream and goal,” an earnest Millan says during an interview via Zoom. “But to achieve it, the human needs to be educated the same way he learns computers, because dogs have their own program.”
