"'The Dog Whisperer' to me is a show that had a passion, and it helped me save relationships." — Cesar Millan

I wish my kid would act like my dog sometimes. My dog listens to me and does what I tell him to do.

Any time you're working in the world of taming animals, you're going to get hurt. But it's a rush that we get.

We moved to the city when I was 7, and the lack of exercise made me frustrated. I started fighting with my sisters, and my parents put me in judo as an outlet. I became very competitive and won a lot of medals.

I was blessed to grow up on a farm, and when you're a farm boy, exercise is part of your lifestyle. Like it or not, that environment makes you work out. On the farm, nature is your gym. You walk and run and swim and have to do a lot of work with animals too.
