The conversation takes a pointed political turn as Millan observes that modern leaders compete to project certainty and invulnerability rather than the patience and calm that actual pack leadership demands. He notes wryly that you cannot lie to a dog — they see only your energy and actions — while humans can be brainwashed with words indefinitely. He then reveals the household dynamic he encounters in 80% of his cases: the dog at the front, the wife second, kids third, husband at the back. [1] — Cesar Millan "Millan could flawlessly assess any dog's spirit, instinct, heart, and mind — but picked romantic partners using completely wrong criteria. …" 1:35:30 The pattern exists because the wife applies all her natural leadership capacity — rules, boundaries, limitations — to the husband, but leads with pure affection toward the dog, inadvertently elevating it to pack leader.
