I'm naturally a loud person. It can be a bit overpowering.

Dogs don't rationalize. They don't hold anything against a person. They don't see the outside of a human but the inside of a human.

Oprah is a wealthy person, pack leader of the human world. So many see her as the dominant one, as the authority figure. The way I view her energy, seeing her on TV, is a very calm, quiet energy. You need, in order to gain control, higher energy than your dog.

The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you.

Many dogs grow up without rules or boundaries. They need exercise, discipline and affection in that order.

Just being with dogs, I learned their ways and began to appreciate things from their point of view.
