Cesar Millan, known famously as the “Dog Whisperer,” says President Biden’s dog, Major, is not at fault in his recent (and second) biting incident at the White House.
Earlier in March, Major caused a minor injury to someone in a similar incident.
“Animals do react from the energy in the environment, but this is a perfect example of not having a safety protocol to introduce dogs into the White House, right? So, it’s the same protocol for any house. It’s just accidents happen because there is no safe protocol,” Millan said.
“So we can't blame the dog. That's the first thing we have to understand is, we can't blame the dog. We have to take full responsibility of how to introduce a dog into an environment first, and then introduce the dog to new people so he gains the trust, the respect and the love. Then you have harmony.”
Millan says that although there a lot of people coming and going in the White House, that’s not a bad thing for dogs.
“Doesn’t that complicate the situation?” Host of Fox News Primetime Mark Steyn asked Millan. “Absolutely not,” Millan replied. “That makes him more social. He has more friends. This is a big opportunity here. If everybody understands the same thing and practices the same behavior, everybody’s going to be Major’s best friend.”
When asked whether Marjor’s issues come from being a rescue dog, Millan was quick to put that theory to rest.
“We all have issues. We all come with issues. After 20 years of age, people have issues,” Millan said. “So, a rescue dog is a dog that had issues and they were placed into a shelter. It doesn't mean he can't go back to normal, you know? So, back to normal means the human gives exercise, mental stimulation and affection. Body, mind, heart. That returns him back to normal. A normal that people didn’t give. So rescue dog doesn't mean they are broken. Rescue dog means they had a human prior to them that didn't know how to fulfill the life of a dog.”
