The practical question of pack consistency within a household opens this chapter: Strummer is well-behaved on walks with Huberman but more challenging with his girlfriend. Millan explains that dogs immediately detect which portion of the human's full self is being deployed — spirit, instinct, heart, and mind together, or just heart and mind. Women, he observes from his client experience, tend to default to emotional and intellectual engagement ('Strummer, let's go') without activating silent, instinctual authority. He draws on the horse comparison again: the same woman who rides a powerful horse with quiet confidence can walk a dog that way too. The energy is gender-neutral. Millan's invitation is for everyone to remember they possess all four aspects of self, and that calm confidence — labeled 'masculine energy' by convention — is available to any human. A brief but vivid anecdote from Huberman's first girlfriend and her late-gelded, dangerous horse illustrates how women can embody this energy naturally when the stakes are obvious.

Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
