I LOVE that Cesar never laughed or acted like he was being irrational or made fun of his fear. Making fun of people's fear doesn't help them.
The fear isn't irrational. Especially since, historically; black people's fear of dogs has been passed down from generation to generation. Slave owners used dogs to catch escaping slaves. Law Enforcement used dogs to attack peaceful Black protestors during the 60s.
I was bitten 6 times before I was 10years because of irresponsible dog owners and some neglectful parents.
I don't hate dogs but I don't trust those mofos until they prove to me that they're cool. If they have chill energy then I will pet them and play catch but at first meeting I don't even interact with them.
Irrational? It's not irrational at all.
If this man's experiences with dogs are little and have only been negative, how is it wrong for him to be afraid? A lot of us are used to dogs and interact with them, but this man obviously isn't.
If you saw a snake handler with something like a python and he told you to come up and hold it, you telling me you wouldn't be even slightly afraid?
That being said, at least your comment isn't making fun of the interviewer like other jackasses...
Irrational isnt the word. To you or me, we know Junior wont hurt him. But in his mind, dogs are untrustworthy. It will take time and alot of experience with dogs to form new memories and positive reinforcment. It may never completly overtake his fear of dogs, but it also might if he kept practice.
However, Im not so sure this gentlemen's goal is to get over his fear beyond this video segment.
Irrational? Dogs can bite. It's completely rational for someone to be afraid of them.
I'm not insulting the guy or saying he's irrational. That wasn't my intention and I apologize to anyone who took it that way and was offended. I meant it more like...Cesar isn't afraid of dogs. So to him the fear could be seen as irrational to him. But he didn't make fun of the man or laugh at any point. He took him seriously the whole time. Everyone's fear is valid. I've just seen a lot of people laugh at others who are afraid of things like dogs or bugs but Cesar didn't do that. That's the point I'm trying to make.
I actually felt like this guy really put himself out there and really comes out as authentic
nomad on a train right! I have fears, but i doubt id be that comfortable discussing them so freely for the whole world to dissect.
After watching this i feel bad for those that ARE afraid of dogs. Cause theyre everywhere. Irresponsible dog owners are everywhere too.
agreed man, seems like a nice guy
I admire this man a lot for honestly sharing his thoughts and feelings. I think this video has helped a lot of people. Thank you!
This interviewer is being very honest with himself. I have a lot respect for him for being vulnerable like this in front of a camera
Why is no one saying how sweet this interviewer is !
He seems so socially awkward but lovable
I am saying it all the video long :-)
I wish I could be as vulnerable around strangers as he is on camera. Props to this man!
Yes, he is, which lends well in the hope that he will continue to grow as a person.
He's also eye-candy. =D
All you idiots insulting the interviewer, I bet you have fears too and I bet you wouldn't be so open to being directly confronted with it. I think he did really well for someone who has been educated since birth to be scared of dogs.
What i found to be the most amazing about the guy is that he is willing to learn to not be afraid. He is confronting his fear.
I agree :) If I would have the opportunity to confront a tarantula... I WOULD NOT!!! D::: seriously I'm terrified of spiders and I wish I were not, but I'd rather live with it than be close to a tarantula -.- phew... so if he's as afraid of dogs as I'm of spiders then good for him for trying to get rid of that fear.
what the fuck is that avatar picture

this felt like a therapy session.
it was a therapy session, and a very successful one too!
It was!
It always is because everyone has issues
I'll go to any therapy session with Cesar Millan and his dogs!
It was - behavioural therapy via counter-conditioning. Works in dogs and humans - learning and unlearning associations.
This interviewer is so genuine about how he's feeling, it's actually refreshing to see😊
This interviewer is so awkward and precious. I mean you can tell he’s a sweet person just with a lot of fears. I feel that lol
Fear protects
i must give a thumbs up for the honesty of the interviewer and also for the great Cesar Millan
ture,,very lovely interview
Ditto 👍
Yeah sad though especially here in the states where dog training in general and etiquette is really lacking people don't want to hear the truth, because they are getting dogs and pets for the wrong reasons, especially the wrong breeds for their lifestyles.
He is just too worried about getting bitten. He needs trust
I am like the interviewer (hopefully 4 yrs on he's over his fear 🤞🏾). Love and respect dogs but have had to learn to understand the nature and needs of dogs. No point being that loving but undisciplined owner as it confuses the poor things
Best quote from Cesar... "He's a dog with a pitbull outfit". Love it! ❤️
But not all pits are...just dogs...probably because of irresponsible owners but still...
Victor Da Silva yeah same for all dogs if you train it wrong Then your going to get the results but ig pits are just scary looking to people
Dog in a pitbull outfit... with a pitbull jaw 😂
Andres Fernandez ~ I have a little Jack Russell with the same locking jaw abilities. I’d be more intimidated by him because of his personality (he’s a rescue) than a pit bull.
Kymberly P I’m gonna use that lol
Cesar is not just great with dogs, but also with humans. It can be really hard for someone to get over their fear of dogs, but Cesar knows how to make them feel safe.
I actually did overcame fear of dogs by myself. And I'm 15 I grew up fearing dogs but since 14 I decided to stop that cause it was getting out of control
This is awesome. Ppl who fear dogs never get represented or support. I'm exactly like Lee in this video, too bad not all dog owners are like Cesar.
I have so much respect for Cesar Milan. Star status isn't the reason people love him, they come back wholeheartedly thanking him not only for helping them with their dogs issues, but theirs as well. He's just an incredible guy.
Petrichor screen I saw Cesar in person at (of all places!) a Canadian tire store some years ago. I waited 6 hours (i was FIRST in line) to see him. I was 5 feet from him when he was on stage. I enjoyed every single second of the presentation he gave and I have an awesome memory for life🤗❤️👍🏼😊☺️
@@Helpasos 😂😂
the funniest part was when he was like "go ahead and pet the dog""Oh no i feel like it's too late" lmfaoo
Jakeem 😂😂😂
yeah he thought now the dog KNOWS and next time he will get me..lol
What is lmfaoo
Yeah, like it was now socially awkward as if he is at a cocktail party. :D
But in his defense he got over it lmao
"They don't know people sue each other". That's such a profound statement. A dog takes you as you are. That's it
Junior is so attentive and obedient .
Now he passed away.
@@nathanielramos5338 :(
I genuinely want to be Cesar's friend.
You mean, you want to be part of the pack..lol
yeah and hang out with his pack 😂😂
Wolf pack
Daniel J. De Jesús. Good dog! 🙂
Oh me too!! I could TOTALLY chill w em😁👊
For a guy who's been afraid of dogs his entire life and been faces with the breed with the scariest reputation, despite the dogs handler, I'm really impressed with how well he managed to interact with Junior!
"despite the dogs handler" - you mean the greatest dog handler in our generation?
@@ncubica doesn’t matter when you are scared
I love how the dog watches Cesar so closely.
I think they can always tell he is top dog and they're waiting to see what he does
Junior is the goodest boy never seen him misbehave.
I don't have a dog but I still learn a lot from Cesar
Asish Anatta same
Samesies... actually, I have a dog, but sometimes I feel I can use his lessons as just general life lessons 🤔😂
i second that
Same
2 years have passed. How about now?
Holy shit this interview is like paradise for me. In my whole life I have been scared of dogs and everything that has been said in this interview just speaks so clearly to me. Every goddamn dog lover I have meet make fun out of my phobia. I felt ridiculous because I'm not scared of the dog itself I'm just scared of what 130 lb of 'mans best friend' can do to me. Goddamn I love this interview.
+AndrewBoyGamingRO... so you actually shit yourself
+AndrewBoyGamingRO ( I'm trying to make this comment the least offensive as possible and trying not to make fun of you ) but you should try to walk past a dog, a dog won't attack someone for no reason just make sure you give it space. I personally love dogs I own a little Maltese X Shih tzu he is a very sweet little dog and hasn't bitten anyone because I can tell when he is saying ' move away I'm getting annoyed ' so far he has only done that when you get to close to a bone but generally his good with food and will allow you hand-feed him. If you are scared of dogs - which you are - I suggest being around puppies they don't bite hard and will hopefully help you with your fear. Dogs are generally very good and you should be able to tell when they are going to attack they will manly attack when feeling uncomfortable. Dogs always give warnings before they attack you can watch videos on how to tell what a dog is feeling.
+J Massey ever heard about "expressions"? :))
+Ms AJ Well,if we're talking about dogs I know that don't harm ppl or cases like I have 2 dogs(which happens to be true) I won't react in any bad way.I might even play with them :)
+AndrewBoyGamingRO glad you got over your fear, because dogs are really the sweetest things when you get to know them :)
"fear is a story"... This is gold!
Lee Hawkings basically described how I feel about dogs perfectly. I have all the same anxieties and hesitations and fears. I wish I had access to Cesar in real life :)
One of the worst parts about being afraid of dogs is when people say, "Don't worry, he won't bite you!" Dude, I know your dog probably won't bite me, but I'm still afraid of the thing.
Breanne Jade I've had people say that! I think: "How do you know, he never met me before!" We need more trainers like Cesar Millan - not for the dogs, for the owners!
Breanne Jade or even worse they tell you, they are so small you could crush it
I know! My cousin told me that when I was 7, then I got biten by her dog and my fear started.... Lol... Most of the dogs that scared me is because they're out of control! Or "too excited" Am ok when dogs that are calm, or when I know they listen to their owners.....
exactly brother
Exactly. My uncle recently got this dog and she's so tiny but I'm scared of her lol
Cesar Millan is in my opinion the nearest thing to the Buddha we have on television. He understands people as well as he does dogs. He reads his new clients(people) very quickly, and always with empathy, sometimes he is even over-effected by the feelings of others, but he knows how to absorb them and then find a way through. A marvellous man. This stuff outranks any amount of psychology theory.
Part of his teaching has to be able to read the human to determine what has been learnt by the canine....once this is done....he now has an understanding how to approach the situation and solve it!
Very well said,, and so true. He da man.
"Nearest thing to buddha"😂
That dog is so well-behaved and sweet. Of course, it has a great trainer.
So many interviews nowadays are so phony. Pretentious interviewers that ask deliberately baiting, insulting questions, looking for a soundbite.
I've got to salute this guy. He honestly put himself out there, and wasn't afraid of being awkward, or looking silly. It made the whole interview feel genuine, as well as helpful helpful to people with a similar fear as his. Great segment all around!
Cesar is such a cool guy- he gave all this info for free- you can tell he wants to share his information to the masses so the world can be a better place. Any other person who didn't care about making the world a better place would charge money for this type of info.
I'm guessing he got paid for the interview?
Yup. Honestly I think Cesar is a great person and would still do this for free. But he needs to live and eat like the rest of us. The fact he can get paid by the networks and news sites for doing what he loves means he can devote more time to it and help more people.
WonderfulAkari I'm all for people earning more and more money, even when they have enough, they have the right to do so.
"...he needs to live and eat like the rest of us."
I'm pretty sure he has more than enough to just live and eat. I believe he would do it for less, or even free, because he already has more than enough to live by.
I'm guessing if he were eking out a living, he would've charged too. That's when the,"...he needs to live and eat like the rest of us." applies.
Let's not romanticise successful people as being selfless, generous and generally better than other people. Billionaires can donate $100k, but let's not forget the people who donated $5 when they only have $20.
Okay so where would his income come from if he did this for free? If he did this as charity he would do less of it in order to take on a job so he could have an income. Meaning instead of helping a lot of people he is only helping some. If he can get paid for doing this he can devote more time to it. I'm not praising him for being finacialy successful I'm praising him for doing good. Are you saying doctors and therapists who are paid to vastly change other people's lives shouldn't be praised for pursueing a profession that aids people just because they can also make money? Being finacoally successful and making more money than you isn't a sin, also do you keep tabs on what he does with his money? For all you know he does donate it. I'd rather be quick to praise then quick to cast doubt.
WonderfulAkari We are talking about this one particular interview. Of course he has other income, he made a show, he own his own shop. Did you think doing interviews is the only way he get money? His show was very successful, he must've gotten a lot of money from that too. The way you say it sounds like this interview is so significant for him to eat and live. It's not. I'm pretty sure with the success he had in his past show he has accumulated enough wealth, and he invested it in owning his own pet shop.
Don't twist my words, I didn't say don't praise him for doing good. Besides, did you not read my comment, the first thing I mentioned is, "I'm all for people earning more and more money, even when they have enough, they have the right to do so. "
I never said it's not good or it's a sin or evil to earn more money when you already have enough. I said the exact opposite.
The reason why I was saying what I was saying, is because people tend to idolise or romanticise celebrities or well known successful people when they do some charity or good deed, that it tends to make people think a little less about themselves because they are not like that.
Bill Gates donating hundreds of millions of dollars is great, it's very generous of him, but if you think of the percentage of his total net worth that's almost like someone who has a net worth of $10k donating $10.
Sure the $100m dollar, is worth more and can do more good, but the person donating $10 is just as generous considering the relative ration to his total net worth. Not to mention that 10$ is worth more to the person, because Bill Gates is so rich, that even if he gives up 90% of his wealth he's doing a lot better than just to live and eat, but not the other guy who has only 10k
You may not be giving people free advice on on overcoming fear of dog on TV or something to that scale, but maybe you thought a child from a non English speaking country the alphabets, you're just as kind and generous.
I'm not doubting his sincerity, I'm saying it's easier to give when you have more.
Cesar Millan's videos are extremely soothing. Been binge watching them.
HoodVlogs seriously he calms me and I find myself checking my energy Constantly
Ditto
Definitely subscribed to Cesar. All my pets can sense my vibe. Its wacky bruh
I’ve seen your videos to !! Love them 👍
OMG! Me, too! It's him and the dogs, the love, respect and joy that I see between them is what soothes me. When ppl let me down,,, dogs never do. I'm such a dog lover... They call me the dog whisperer, too-ha! I can get any dog to obey me. They love me unconditionally,, and I love them right back. Even when ppl don't,,,, haha!
At the end he said "what a great day for me."
That's how I feel about my dog. So lucky to have him.
Emotionally mature and respectful interview ever.
So, if I'm correct, the problem isn't usually dogs when someone is afraid of dogs. It's not the dogs fault either though. It's the dog's owner who is not correcting excited, nervous, and anxious behavior when faced with meeting people, and so teaching the dogs that it's alright to act the way they are.
Exactly. ;)
Herp Derp Dogs also copy your state of mind or take advantage of it.
It's always the owners fault. They're not like children that will have their own mind as they grow up. Dogs will always look up to its owners. If dogs aren't properly trained then owners won't be able to know how to react properly during certain situations which can be dangerous. In the end, the dog takes the blame.
What about cases when the dog turns on their owner and mauls them to death? Also the owner's fault?
BoBa K yeah that means they did something or somebody did something
What an amazing Interwiever. He derserve tje success. You can see how much personal work he put in and how open he can speak about his weakness. Keep it going
Agreed
100%
I see his weakness being our universal 'weakness'...in that the contagion is here big time around the world...his strength is to own it, and begin to make friends with this..?..Its a tough one for each one of us I think...to address the block head on...I know I am really in the middle of it..the aloneness is what is a downward spiral that needs to be addressed.
It’s not a weakness. Just a fear.
Bravo to the man for being brave enough to be vulnerable and to being curious enough to attempt to transcend his fear of dogs. Cesar, you are a true master as always. And Jr. You are the goodest boy.
Lee was so professional. So calm and willing to learn
I used to be so terrified of dogs. I thought that every dog who comes up to me wants to bite me. I never understood dog's body languages and was afraid of walking alone in the street with dogs. Then I got a puppy to help me with my phobia and was scared to hold it at first. Then I started to understand a dog's behavior and the reason behind their behavior. Now I am not scared of any dogs no matter how big they are & in fact I've turned into a dog lover. Anyone who has fear of dogs should really try to have some closure with dogs instead of running away.
I'm watching a puppy and I don't want it to hurt me but it looks harmless and it's so cute
how long did it take you to NOT be scared of dogs?
kro gen did it take u years to over come ur fear?
I Do know No actually it took few months. My puppy who is now a well grown dog helped me through it.
That's really interesting! How did you work out how to hold it and everything?
THIS is what seperates Cesar from most of the other so called dog trainers. I think he's just truly an amazing person who really 'knows' how dogs think,behave and react. I wish him well.
Junior was an amazing dog!
Such a Good Boy!
I’ve met quite a few people throughout my lifetime who were afraid of animals. This video made me so genuinely happy for the interviewer. He was so crippled by his fear of dogs... and to see him let go of that fear by the end of the video was amazing.
yep, one of my favorite cesar vids, primarily because of the host.
Junior is one handsome pit. Beautiful coat. Attentive gaze. Just pure beauty.
this is why i'm afraid of dogs. because of owners who have a lack of control. i see them struggling to control the dog themselves let alone if the dog is within 2 inches of me i'm walking far away.
Oh please you are afraid of dogs because your family was and they never had you ever be around them.It's not other dog owners blame your own family
Chet youbetya shut up
Funny how you can make all those assumptions without knowing that user.
some owners don't train their dogs and some of them get excessively territorial, loud. there are attacks and even murders committed by dogs that had bad owners. tell that to a toddler that played 50 meters from a rottweiler house and got killed."Timmy, it's your parents fault that you were attacked by a rottie". there are those little breeds that bark when they see a person in public and bite even their owners. the majority of dogs are owned by stupid people, that's why some people are afraid of dogs.
It's understandable to avoid dogs that are not being controlled. When I walk my dog and I see a strange dog in a yard or on a leash, if I think that dog is not in a safe or controlled mindset, I just avoid it. I'm not going to expose my dog, who is behaving, to a dog that might be aggressive and not properly handled by the owner.
I think it's also important to ask people about their dogs before you approach. When someone says their dog is fearful of strangers or standoffish, always respect that.
I don't trust dogs myself. I would never just walk up to a dog and pet them. Im very far from that stage. This video has helped me a lot. I think i can get over my lack of trust of dogs now. I still want ceasar to help me. At least i see he wont laugh at me. 💜❤
Cesar been saying that u don't go up to the dog and pet it u wait the dog to come to u and then pet it
If you don't trust the dog, it won't trust you.
When I was a very little girl I was viciously torn up by a doberman pinscher. It's an experience that will never forget and it was the grace of God that my uncle noticed and got the dog off me. I don't have a fear of dogs though and I never really did. I hear people with stories like mine and I completely understand their fears. I am sure that the only reason I do not fear dogs after that traumatic experience is that my family still had all sorts of dogs in my life growing up. Even today I have a great love of my furbabies 💕 exposure will help this man out. He should get a dog to love and his fear of dogs will diminish naturally.
We had a DP and we had to re home her back to the breeder as she bit me when I was a child. They can be feisty little things and not always good with kids. I was a really gentle kid and never pulled her about. She even bit my mum.
@@tallisinwonderland4724 I am so sorry this happened to you. Yes I too have always been gentle with animals and I did nothing to provoke the dog that attacked me. This is just my thoughts but I do believe there is truth to this observation of mine, I do believe that some dogs are just born with something seriously wrong with them. Something genetic that doesn't go right. There are humans born like this too i.e. Jeffrey Dommer. I am okay with humanly putting down any dog that can not properly conduct themselves as I feel they are a strain and of no use. I wish we would start doing the same with these useless humans as well. Unfortunately we are stuck with the human kind though.
i love how what was supposed to be an interview turned into a therapy session
Remember people it's the dog and it's state of mind not the breed. You can educate yourself to recognize which state of mind a dog is in. Trust me you know when a dog is aggressive and when he's just playing around. Good luck to everyone with a fear of dogs!
This is the BEST interview.
“Wow what a great day for me”
LOL
I feel like crying because I feel the same as the interviewer. I always feel like I'm the only one who is not comfortable with dogs. I cross the road when I see a dog approaching and very rarely go to parks. I hope this video helps me to get over this crippling fear. I often feel embarrassed and guilty for not being comfortable being around dogs
I think every family that is thinking about getting a dog, should watch this. So they can educate themselves and others on the interacting 101 with dogs.
Lee Hawkins, congratulations on facing your fear! This was very inspirational to everyone who has a phobia. Face it, overcome it, conquer it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I commend Lee Hawkins for his openness about his fear of dogs. I grew up terrified of dogs, also because of my father, a mailman that was himself scared of dogs. I remember him yelling and screaming at me for being scared of dogs. I have been treated horribly over the years by people who refuse to understand the absolute terror I would feel.
Caesar Milan is a breath of fresh air and has helped my understanding of dogs tremendously. A small runt of the litter that nobody wanted also helped me tremendously. His name was Cricket, a Bichon & Poodle mix, and he changed my life. I grieve the years I was terrified of all the lovely creatures that I am now so fond of. Dogs are really amazing. I am still terrified of some breeds, like Pitbulls, but I try.
Thank you Caesar, Daddy (RIP❤️) & Junior(RIP❤️). ❣️
And thank you Lee Hawkins.
This interviewer is so lovely
They need to have this video, as part of the adoption process. Becoming an educated dog owner, will prevent injury and the loss of these precious dogs. Thank you 👍🏽🐕🤗
Cesar and Junior do a BEAUTIFUL job with Lee in overcoming some of the fear he has of dogs in general. Lee did a BEAUTIFUL job himself in being willing to work through some of his fears.
I must say, excellent interviewer. Not the fluff you find in other interviews.
That is a beautiful dog. The interviewer needs lots of sessions like this. Try helping out at a shelter/dog walking after time. It is a fear he will have to face more often and get as much education as possible. You can see the genuine fear he has but Ceasar as always is amazing.
I love the interviewer’s honestly and vulnerability. Makes me like him a lot.
right
Really admire how open Lee Hawkins was about his fear and how in touch he is with his own emotions.
Interviewer isnt just a good dude but a brave dude as well. Fantastic human being
This is how a pit bull should be trained and handled
Cesar is just freaking amazing!!
This interview is one of the best things in TH-cam
I think any dog easily knows and respects Cesar at an instant. That's extraordinary.
"Fear is a story." I'm stealing this line that hit my brain hard and makes a ton of sense
I love seeing Cesar work, he's such a nice and knowledgeable person.
LOVE JUNIOR! :)
RIP Good boy Junior ❤
Enjoy all the treats up there with dadyy 😇
I love how Cesar Milan really took the time to train Junior well but also Junior being such a neutral dog to help educate others. The interview was amazing for jumping in and trying to tackle his fear one step at a time. Wonderful to see!
Junior was such a loving, friendly dog. I love this breed!
I'm in love with junior!
gotta admit the interviewer honesty and sharing his experience and also Cesar knowledge and not downplaying the dangers of unstable dogs.
My first pit was off the street my lab saw her when we were walking she was fearful of humans but vet talked me into keeping her...sweetest dog ever❤❤❤ Bella love! ❤❤❤❤
The interviewer was gold ! Can't believe I watched everything xD
Those last pats he gave Junior, right before he stood up, were just right! ツ
We need more shows like this. Because they're not only uplifting but educational. And not only educational but yet educational and something that we all need to know in America and across the world.
I think the interviewer hit everything right on the head and being honest because so many people feel the same way and are afraid to admit admit it
Awww, Lee! You were really brave! I can tell that you're genuinely afraid of dogs, and I can see that it took a lot for you to move past that. Good job!
You shouldn't feel embarrassed about the fear of dogs. Everyone struggles with some type of fear. I think it's very immature for people to tease you because of your issues with being comfortable with dogs. People need to be considerate with each other. You are obviously a very intelligent, well mannered and educated man. It may also be jealousy that a person would try to bring you down because of a fear. It's their problem not yours. I'm proud of you for publicly tackling this issue. That took a lot of courage! Knowledge is power, thank you for this episode!
This world owes You a debt of Gratitude, Cesar! You have already changed the World for the Better, concerning Animals. Without you, I don’t Believe majority of us would have ever understood The Dog Kingdom. You’re shedding ignorance, and Inspiring The Whole Universe! Sincerely, Thank You!!🥰 May You be Blessed and filled with Peace, Always🙏🏽💕🔆
I was chased at the age of 4 and I am very fearful of dogs. I don’t even like dogs but I enjoy watching your show.
I used to be afraid of dogs. like literally crossing to the other side of the pavement if I saw one ahead. but then when I was about 10 I moved into a new house and the neighbour on the right had a Pitbull and Staff and my neighbour on the left had two Rottweilers, had no choice but to just suck it up and get over my fear. Now I'm not afraid at all :)
That's interesting. Were you ever bitten by the dogs? Or just learned to walk past them? I know of someone who got bit in the d*ck. No lasting damage, but that person now feels different about the dogs, especially those that have the reach.
@@bobak5126this is a very late reply but i think it’s because where i lived before not kanu people had dogs so i never came into contact with them like ever
I love Cesar Millan ..love his work he's so knowledgeable
Honest interviewer. He actually helped Caesar reveal more on how to overcome dog fear. Nice interview.
I came in to comment on the interviewer, but I see everyone else thought the same thing. What a genuine guy. Loved it
14:20 Beautiful moment and human being right there Lee Hawkins: shy, embarrassed, scared to death yet committed, step-forwarded, and driven by his will to catch up with dogs.
Very brave, inspiring and cute too hahaha! This video is great for coaching people like ex Lee Hawkins. I love his reactions and how he talks everything out. Brilliant footage.
Everyone is afraid of my German shepherd in my building (only 6 months old). When I am passing threw the lobby or hallways they scatter to the sides cursing in some other language, When I am in the elevator people refuse to get on & give me dirty looks. I am thankful for videos like this to help me understand people's fear of dogs. I had a conversation yesterday in the lobby with a gentlemen who also lived in the building who was afraid of my dog. You know what he told me? That dogs are filthy vile creatures and they are enemies of islam, wtf....I was furious..he then said it is very bad to get dog saliva on your clothes. So what I learned is that it's not always "fear" that is the issue, Sometimes people have religions that are against dogs.
I'm Muslim, dogs are NOT against Islam, it's just keeping a dog IN your house is against Islam, having a dog as a guard dog is ok. That gentlemen is confused. And he has no right to tell you what to do, but humans only follow and do what they want, not specifically what their religion tells them.
WarMachine Fear and ignorance are close cousins.
WarMachine You didn't go far enough to realize what you really learned. What you really learned is not that sometimes people have religions that are against dogs, it's ignorance that makes them against dogs.
Water Flow Fear and ignorance are part of religion.
Hey :) Im an atheist and also a huge lover of animals. Sadly, ive had this fear since I was a child and in all honestly, I have no idea why! :( It got to the point where id rather walk in oncoming traffic than on a sidewalk with a dog and thats so emotional for me to admit because It made me hate dogs when I was a kid. But i now love them and all animals even though its still tricky for me. Its just a natural thing though nothing to do with religion.
Aw the interviewer showing this vulnerable side is nice to see. Any interviewer who doesn’t behave like a robot is a good one.
laurawashereⓋ totally agree. It’s refreshing to see!
" Thanks God" I like the humbleness of Caesars thankfulness to God for his success. I also like the honesty of the interviewer, So many adults and children wake dogs but suffer from fear of them. Knowledge and information sure are powerful 🤯🐶🐾❤️
I have 3 dogs and when I go to someones house and there is a dog I don't know I don't touch or look at them. I have done that my whole life. When I get to know the dog then I pet and play with them. Dogs are just like us. We need trust and space. When I need space form my dogs I turn my back to them and they stop bugging me. I can't imagine a life without dogs.
+Beerrunner81 I can imagine a life without them. I hate going to a person's house and they won't put the dogs away. It's such a violation of "my space" to let your dogs roam and sniff all over guests. I was so pissed at my family member when they could tell I was extremely uncomfortable with the constant barking, the dog walking up sniffing and barking louder. Like dude, wtf, do I need to go out to my truck and get my slugger? Cuz I damn sure would, no joke. I told them the next time, I will club his fuckin' ass since nobody cares enough to cage him while guests who normally aren't in your home stop by.

You are a troll looking to start a fight. If you were not a troll you would not want to kill the dog.
Beerrunner81 dude relax. Pick a fight? Kill a dog? So much for open dialogue. Carry on.
That's perfect cuz it's important for you to decide when to stop playing and interacting with dogs. Even dogs need their own me time, just like humans.
@@theseoulgoode It's important to know that you are just that - a guest.
I love the interviewers honesty and vulnerability! Thank you for doing that it helped me a lot! I got over my fear of dogs via this video! Thank you Lee xx
It took a lot of strength for him to face his phobia. To do it on camera? Incredible. Well done, sir. Thank you for giving us that example.
Very brave of the interviewer to admit a fear of dogs so publicly. Because yeah, people can be so mean about it. I'm afraid of them, too, that's why I'm such a fan of Cesar Milan. Knowledge really does help. ❤️❤️❤️
It cracks me up...it seems Cesar is showing there's more wrong with us then the dog. And watch him with the dogs is incredible.
I have had a dog phobia for 40 years i would love to be cured its ruined my life to be honest, x
go to an animal shelter and try to observe them,then try to feed and caress a pups head. they are gentle creatures that also need love and companionship
Are you still afraid of dogs? Yes, it's a crippling phobia. No-one was more fearful than me, I was terrified....but I beat it! If there's a way, I would gladly help someone else defeat the fear, as I did. 🙂
I’ve been afraid of dogs all my life bcuz when i was little i just to get chased by stray dogs in my barrio. Now being 42 i wanna get a dog for my kids and also to get rid off that fear. I know a good trained dog makes a difference but my gosh it’s just this fear I’ve always had idk if I’ll ever over come it. I’ve been watching alot of dog videos and as cute as they look i wish some day I’ll get one.
@@natalialaevna2388 I beat the fear! Part of my cure was watching loads of 'scared little rescue dogs in the back of a cage' videos, as well as learning all I could about dogs, and looking inside myself for the root! In my case it was a long way from the object of my fear: my problem was authority! So, " what gives them the right to take that dog off the lead?" That was part of it. I wish I could help you more, I promise you my terror was as bad as it gets, and if I can beat it - you can! 🙂
Me 2 and I want one! It's so debilitating because they're everywhere. I cant go anywhere.
He couldn't stop petting junior afterwards. Soo precious. I bet he has been wanting to pet dogs forever but was too afraid to do it before. Awww
Mad respect for both of those guys. I could see the guy’s inner child come out as he worked with Caesar and Junior. Junior is the most chill and obedient dog that Caesar has in his pack.
Any kind of dog is adorable! I find Cesar's daddy pit just adorable (RIP) cuz he's always so calm & obedient. Shame on idiots who use them for so-called "sports"! Running away from a dog is the worst you can do. Try to remain calm backing away slowly. Also dont hesitate around a dog- they'll look @ you weirdly. They just want love & if theyre jumpy & aggressive, NEVER blame the dog but his/her owner! The poor dog may just need excercise. They are big (or huge lol) puppies that deserve love & attention.
You sound ridiculous
NOW THATS insane! Put down? Humans need to be put down for overbreeding like infested smelly roaches & breeding the innocent animals.
Sounds like you're bragging your stupidity to everyone.
I have a lot of respect for the interviewer being so honest about his fear and truly open to learn. Winner!!!
✝️❤️⏰⏰⏰⏰💯
The most best behaved dog i have ever seen. What a sweetie.
Mr. Hawkins gratitude for your honesty and integrity. Same for Mr. Milan
