EPISODE DESCRIPTION: "James Tsai is a canine behavioral expert, author of The Soul of a Dog, and founder of the Arf Arf Bark Bark Rescue Foundation. Specializing in the rehabilitation of extreme, high-arousal aggression and severely traumatized dogs, James rejects modern behaviorism’s reliance on food treats, force, and behavioral euthanasia. Through his revolutionary Parental Protection Protocol, he equips owners to transform dysfunctional behaviors by providing safety, clear boundary setting, and emotional regulation. On this episode of the EAOT Podcast, James exposes the myths of traditional dog training and shares actionable frameworks to help you truly connect with and rehabilitate your dog."

0:10 Intro by Alexander, host; Entrepreneur, Among Other Things

0:33 Alexander: "Well, James, your bio was very unique. It's like a roller-coaster somewhat. So between you and your family and all the experiences that you've had. So, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and then I'd like to kind of, as I often do on this show and go back to the beginning, kind of learn how you got into this and where you're hoping to take it."

0:52 My family background. Living "two different cultures" in the 1960s where we were not allowed to intermingle with non-Chinese in Victoria. Growing up in a family with siblings who have extreme intelligence made me see a concept, context or problem as a "stochastic" which made it easier for me to destructure and disaggregate it.

2:40 Alexander: "Do you think that that was like a genetic gift that your parents for some reason had or do you think that was something associated with like the way that you were raised and their focus on, um, intelligence pursuits and schooling?"

2:55 I discuss my perspective as to why any level or degree of intelligence is purely a stochastic and natch, relative to the biological structure's complexity within the specie (*neologism*). The capacity and ability to emotively process is isomorphic at a corresponding dilutive scale (hence "humans domesticated dogs" is wholly illogical). Especially since life derives from a single point of juvenation. Pure random coincidence. Which makes me see circumstances such as nearly dying as a child as "mundane."

For example; "seeing the stochastic" of an extremely dangerous giant dog standing in front of me, unmuzzled, unrestrained and with a profoundly brutal history that includes genuine attempt(s) to kill a person; I'm extrapolating the dangerous dog's dysfunctional behavior in real-time and predictively. The "behavior of one dog" is homogenous for all dogs, regardless of breed. Hence stochastic defaults the existence of 'immutable thresholds' of consciousness a.k.a. behavior. Which I draw a significantly larger mapping model cognizable of behavior as a whole template and individually (relative to evolution). Seeing the "forest and the trees" simultaneously. Thus confining the stochastic within the specie's psychosomatic manifestation semantic. As is with all familial-species.

5:10 Since I don't find my life's experiences as "remarkable" it gives me a greater willingness to be involved in a very dangerous profession; successful rehabilitation of extremely dangerous and human predatory dogs.

5:58 What I learned from almost drowning and being resuscitated.

10:00 What it's like to experience primordial fear and primal fear. Primordial fear is that brief time when you know that you can't escape and survival is likely impossible. Primal fear is when you believe you have plausible options of survival such as recognizing an escape route away from the danger.

10:48 Alexander: "I watched some of the videos for sure."

10:52 Facing an extremely vicious death by a human predatory dog weighing over 150 pounds is extremely intellectually stimulating. It provides me the opportunity to process and quantify a rare rehabilitation opportunity with the top percentile of dysfunctional behavior.

13:12 Being familiar with primordial fear means that I'm not obstructed by the emotions (of being killed by a new intake). This allows me to use the primordial part of my consciousness that would typically waste cognitive energy to overcome fear, and figure out how to calm one's self and escape.

15:10 It's important to know there's no such thing as a "dog whisperer."

16:17 The declaration of "behavioral euthanasia" reflects wholesale miscomprehension. This is always due to the behaviorists afraid of being killed or attacked so they declare "severe psychological distress" which means that the innocent dysfunctional dog is killed. I know this is to scapegoat their inexperience by blaming the dysfunctional dog. I'm rehabilitating vicious predation which is in the top percentile of dysfunctional behavior. This is why knowing what primordial fear is extremely important for any behaviorist to evolve their comprehension.

17:37 The process of learning is very gentle.

18:04 When Walter held his breath he was doing so intentionally to hear if I was breathing. I am forced to pay attention whereas the dog trainer and behaviorist simply declares "behavioral euthanasia" when confronted by such a dysfunctional dog. They move to their next paying client or research project. Hence no primordial learning or dysfunction addressment is generated because the upper percentile are never successfully rehabilitated.

18:54 Alexander: "I learned today that there's a rating scale for dangerous dogs."

19:02 I need to clarify my response to Alexander's statement. The scale he's talking about is VID scale (Viscerally Intuitive Dog) which I used to provide a comparable scale to my work. Especially since my 6/10 is my average intake but is considered by Dr. Ian Dunbar's scale as "Bite level 6" (causing death)...so basically Ian's most dangerous level is an average level of dysfunctional dog for our rehabilitation. Hence "behavioral euthanasia" isn't a real thing for my rescue foundation.

19:09 Alexander: "So how did you begin to decide to not only work with dogs. I think everybody loves dogs. I love dogs. I know a lot of people who would love to work in that field. But then like I'm going to go a step further and like 'just training dogs' is like kind of not what I'm into, I would like to engage with these more dangerous...almost like sort of challenging yourself to move up into more difficult cases?"

19:39 My motivation was due to a personal change. I went from having started two niche businesses to finding out what actually is important in life.

20:40 Alexander: "Yeah, I was going to ask what he did when he (immigrated) because I know a lot of intellectuals, they would have degrees in foreign countries but they wouldn't really like quite transfer or maybe not be as impactful."

20:56 My dad was a university professor in China. He could verbatim a wide swath of academia and was fluent in seventeen languages but was unable to have his credentials recognized here. My dad attempted to enroll in university in the 1960s and was denied.

We discuss family conflicts.

22:21 Alexander: "Is it just like the firstborn son or the firstborn would get the majority of that?" ... "Why would one brother get, you know, the inheritance? And it sounds like your parents were successful and built up good businesses. What's the logic there that only one son or daughter gets it as opposed to spreading it out?"

23:10 That's the problem with primogeniture.

23:58 Alexander: "It makes sense to me especially if you have a physical asset that's hard to break up like a farm let's say. You have a farm and what am I going to do? Is one son going to get a quarter of the land, another son gets a quarter of the land? Before you know it, then they just go, let's just sell it and split the money. And then it's like; well, now we don't have the family farm anymore. So I guess from that perspective it sort of makes sense if you have this nice tangible asset, you pass it to one person as opposed to trying to divvy it up to multiple people. And also, there's probably something to be said there for management. I mean, like you said, lawsuits."

24:46 My oldest brother sued another brother over this exact issue.

28:57 Alexander: "You had a dog attack when you were a kid, is that right?"

29:02 When I was in elementary school, I thought I was going to be attacked by a German Shepherd during a physical education class that was held outdoors.

31:03 When I adopted Lincoln.

33:00 I decided to treat Lincoln like my child. I developed language structure and physical conduct that was comprehensible. It's like being in love with someone who doesn't speak your language. The beginnings of Familialship. Parenting protocols.

35:31 Reset hugs with Lincoln proved to me that predation and dangerous behavior are not "alpha" but are consequential to feeling unprotected. As Lincoln's human surrogate parent it is my responsibility to always protect Lincoln indoors and outdoors. By doing this consistently Lincoln began to stabilize.

36:16 I describe how to apply a reset hug. You must be extremely careful not to put yourself into danger if you are not proficient in applying reset hugs to a dysfunctional dog. When your dog moves away from your reset hug this indicates they are not familiar with this level of intimacy.

38:36 "Flight then fight" is the correct order. How to order your words contextually for your dog.

42:02 Alexander: "So what are most dog trainers or the field-at-large, what are they getting wrong in your opinion about dog training and maybe specifically with some of these more dangerous dogs?"

42:14 "That they cannot be helped."

43:34 Alexander: "I was going to ask is that because the strategies that they are employing work up to a certain limit. Like they work with "My dog p*es on the rug" kind of thing but then they don't necessarily work when you get to a dog that tries to bite, like if a human gets close."

43:53 Behavior is individualistic yet is homogeneous across all species. We teach that we are their surrogate parents.

45:40 Correction: I confused Richter and Harlow's projects as they are both equitably cruel and misguided. No different than Ivan Pavlov deliberately cutting holes in the stomachs of dogs and letting them slowly die thereafter. These are not mantles for academia to laud or rely upon. It's not "hope" that drowning rats felt...it is the literally the Stockholm Syndrome. Plus it's nonsensical to derive "hope" which is a consciousness trait...but then declare no sophisticate consciousness exists in the mice that have "hope." There are so many lauded experiments that are facile and specious that have hurt and hampered behaviorism and psychology.

46:07 By providing a physical safe harbor (reset hug) I'm teaching the dysfunctional dog that I will protect them with my own life (intradependency). The safe harbor provides the individual a physical protection which allows them to then process their highly complex foreign emotives fully instead of truncating and defaulting to either rage or joy.

47:28 I describe Walter's violence.

48:42 I reiterate that there is no such thing as "behavioral euthanasia" to a genuine behaviorism expert.

49:18 Alexander: "So, do you feel like there's...I think I saw that you said you don't feel like there's that big of differences between breeds because I know some people say certain breeds are more aggressive or more assertive than others. Do you buy that or has that been your experience?"

50:00 Behavior, breed, genetics, age, gender, intact or not...none of that are real concerns to an experienced behaviorist. None of the aforementioned mitigating factors have any influence on how I rehabilitate because those are anecdotal issues...meaningless and superficial.

52:12 Nero dragged a woman from the family couch. Nero would try to kill men. Nero once grabbed the top of my head, causing some blood from both my temples.

54:25 Alexander: "So that story right there, what do you think was going through that dog? Like why would that dog want to do that? Someone that he knew? I know you've said if certain circumstances change or the house changes or there's changes, what's your read on something like that?"

54:42 I explain why Nero attacked.

55:27 I define the cause of why such an attack would happen.

56:23 I explain and correct the scale of dysfunction.

57:06 Alexander: "What do you feel like most people are getting wrong about training their dogs or animals? I'm a cat person. I love dogs but I have two cats. What do you think people are getting wrong about training their animals and/or just maybe even understanding their relationship they have with their animals?"

57:23 Human intrinsic fear of not understanding someone they love. Human-specie demands overt articulation as proof of consciousness. Using their name teaching them that they "belong" and provides confirmation of their own self-awareness of their physical existence.

59:30 Alexander and I discuss "chronological seniority" for his cats. Why it's important to use their names in chronological seniority. We chat.

1:02:19 Alexander: "So what else do people get wrong or maybe don't do? Sounds like saying their name. It was interesting what you said about using like kind of a solid intonation. That way, it sounds like you can maybe make it known to them when they're in need of more sternness or you're being more affectionate. I heard you say "You're a silly boy. You're a silly boy" a lot with some of those dogs you were kind of working with, especially the more violent ones. Which I thought was kind of interesting."

1:02:51 I use words that are common for a two-to-three year old human's comprehension. These are words that are often used by parents to their children.

1:03:50 Alexander: "It seems like it's almost an evolved thing, but like everybody does that with a baby, with a kitten, with a puppy. Everyone does like the puppy kitten baby voice. And it's like nobody taught us that, where did that come from?"

1:04:08 I explain why humans baby talk. Using high tones elicits play and prey interest.

1:06:41 Alexander: "It's somewhat chaotic but it seems like dogs or cats maybe understand what "chaotic" is a little bit differently than what we view as chaotic. Like you said wearing a baseball hat. Like that might freak a dog out."

1:06:56 I discuss how dogs process their field of vision. I discuss the pre-Darwin reconciliation period preceding Darwinism. Phylogenesis of consciousness. Forrest Gump intelligence.

1:10:43 Alexander: "Before we go is there anything you feel like that we didn't cover about training dogs. I'm sure there is a ton but kind of base-level things that listeners might be thinking "Okay, this is something that I can actionably do, today with my pets or people around me even."

1:11:00 I provide a leash protocol. Essentially, it's literally impossible for your dog to pull you on leash if you are physically heavier than them.

Video link to Leash Manners: https://lnkd.in/p/g52WNB2N

1:14:33 I explain that using food with a dysfunctional dog is counter-evolution. The canine specie fights to the death over food. Food elicits and enables predator interest. Nowhere in the canine specie is food used as a fiat, compliance or performative.

1:16:00 Alexander: "One thing I noticed about you and your videos is just like seems time...being willing to spend time" ... "And I get the impression that you're not doing a lot for 75 minutes. You're just slowly, like slowly touching the back of a dog, waiting, touching" ... "The dog kind of like has to get in line eventually because you're like "I'm not going to give up on this and I'm also willing to sit here for two hours to do this." And I don't think many people with their dogs just have the literal "time" to like train their dogs in that way. You said like 'two feet at a time' on a leash. Most people just aren't going to do that."

1:16:42 It's boring mundane repetitive work but rehabilitating predatory dogs is immensely fulfilling and intellectually demanding.

1:18:56 Alexander: "Well, James, you have a wild way of making a living. Where can people find you if they need help or check out the work that you've done. Where can people catch up with all that stuff?"

This garbage wildlife care center is inept and a danger to animals. They had no plan in place when they killed her.

so that we shall revisit this care center in the future.

Such anthropomorphic arrogance and laziness of the "rescuers" who were too lazy and apathetic to actually care for this innocent coyote and all other animals.

Really? No one in California with a 35 million population was willing to permanently foster the coyote?

No one in your groups and page followers??

You trap her. Traumatize her. And while a prognosis was a long term commitment but to then lazily kill her.

FAKE rescuers. Lazy rescuers.

I run a registered nonprofit dog rescue that specifically rehabilitates human predation in dogs weighing 150 to 211 pounds. Dogs far more dangerous than a coyote and far heavier and larger than an adult wolf.

Not once has my rescue foundation Arf Arf Bark Bark Rescue Foundation ever killed including severe medical disability.

You had an inept plan. Your management is inept. You had no one set in place for long term care??

Even a 5 year old child knows that with such a long term facial injury that life long term feeding would very likely be required.

Are you new to animal care???

These fake, disingenuous lazy rescuers killed her. The intent was always to kill her if the effort to keep her alive is too onerous.

You essentially hunted her. Trapped her. And your collective laziness kills her.

There is no empathy. Just an inept rescue that violates true moral and ethical responsibility.

The Elisha Show: The Dog Whisperer Who Rehabilitates Dangerous Dogs with guest James Tsai

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: What if dangerous dogs are not simply dangerous—but misunderstood? In this episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha sits down with James Tsai, a dog rehabilitator who works with extremely dangerous dogs that others have considered beyond rehabilitation. James shares how his experience with his Great Dane, Lincoln, transformed his understanding of animal behavior, communication, consciousness, and compassion. He also opens up about surviving a near-death truck accident and the perspective it gave him on life, death, and purpose. Hosted by Amb. Elisha, this episode explores consciousness, communication, compassion, human behavior, dogs, resilience, and seeing beyond the surface. This episode discusses: How James rehabilitates dangerous dogs, What dogs can teach us about human behavior, Why body language matters more than we realize, How compassion can change behavior, What James learned from surviving near-death experiences, and Why understanding comes before judgment.

0:43 Intro by Elisha, host; The Elisha Show: Purpose Driven Life & Mastery

1:31 Elisha shares the influence of mango trees.

3:10 The mangos represent a parable revelation of beauty amongst life.

4:21 Elisha discusses the 'light of knowledge' instead of remaining in the dark.

5:48 Elisha: Let's get started with your introduction. Talk to us about your personal or professional journey because right now we are so curious. We want to know how "James" got here.

6:07 I discuss my childhood and life. Being an actor. I wanted to be "better than my parents." How their religion influenced me.

9:25 I started Arf Arf Bark Bark Rescue Foundation to prove that giant vicious dysfunctional dogs are fully rehabilitable. That all dysfunctional dogs can be stabilized and rehabilitated. Especially the profoundly traumatized dogs a.k.a. "extremely severe psychological distress." My foundation has an empirical success record spanning twelve years. Link is to my Facebook pinned post of an "average dangerous dog" that I look for when I adopt.

9:48 Elisha: Amazing. What a journey, James. And I'm so sorry about your marriage. But you know I'm a still bit curious James; what first drew you to rehabilitating dangerous dogs?

10:01 I adopted my first beloved Great Dane, Lincoln in 2014. Lincoln was 154 pounds. Great Danes were used to hunt and kill wild boars in Europe. I decided to treat Lincoln like my surrogate child and approached his idiomatic contexting as a cogency (rudimentary logic and emotive processing structures). This developed into my parenting protocols. My protocols are substantiated theorem which means parenting protocols are effective homogeneously. I protected Lincoln as a parent protects their child.

12:51 Elisha: That's very deep, James and thank you for sharing that. What did these dogs teach you about human behavior?

13:00 I believe in evolution. I believe in God. The phylogenesis of consciousness logically faithful to the agreed evolutionary theory re: aggregative conflation. Similar mapped brain structure. There is no demarcation of consciousness.

13:50 Consciousness exists at a corresponding dilutive scale. Consciousness can physically compartmentalize all falsepositives ergo all the answers between "yes and no," "black and white," and "1 and 0" through the 360 degree spheric of the neuron. Relative to the sophistication of the specie. Etcetera.

14:38 Body language is perceived omni-directional by any individual with line-of-sight hence cognization of psychosomatic manifestation is introvertive and introspective for empathetic construction. Hence "digital rot" is simply due to lack of biological "mis-syncing" which shall become denigrative to human-specie intelligence and "problem questioning."

14:59 The brilliance of God. God is testing us: Does the apex specie of the Earth also see the logical simplicity of life as having biologically-extrapolated from the "first cells" and thusly the expected humility, tolerated cohabitation, and evolved empathy to comprehend biological sentient consciousness evolved unto all species with a corresponding dilutive scale of consciousness sophistication. Therefore whence the Soul doth exist. Notwithstanding evolution would attrite competing consciousnesses.

16:02 Elisha: So true, James. You don't have to kill a dog that is dysfunctional. I got that! So, so I want you to talk to us, James, about your near-death experience. What was written about you, you had an experience like a truck accident. What did that teach you about life?

16:20 That happened when I was running JETSAI SuperCar Transport. That happened in Northern British Columbia in the winter and hit black ice and jack-knifed. Another truck crashed through my truck and trailer as I was jumping off the highway into a ditch. I recall the truck's headlights. The accident didn't affect me due to several previous near-death circumstances.

17:36 I took a 14-hour Greyhound bus ride home.

18:28 I have learned that dying is easier if you know where you are going. As well as having several prior primordial experiences of nearly dying.

19:18 It's about the beauty of the mangoes!

19:27 Elisha: Amazing, and sorry you had to experience all of that. But the beautiful part of it is the lessons that you learned from it. That's so beautiful and thank you for all you're doing. So we have two more to go, James. Many of the listeners are dog owners so I think they'll find this question very interesting. So what can humans learn from the way dogs communicate?

19:53 We have to get over our own insecurities that our dog is not overtly communicating with us. Things like eye contact is not important because dogs have ears to hear with. Anthropomorphize your intuition. Your intuition predicates upon your instinct. Your instinct predicates upon your apex predator. Your apex predator comprehends body behavior a.k.a. psychosomatic manifestations.

21:12 Dogs are processing at the same level of consciousness as Forrest Gump.

22:09 Severely disabled Bulldog like Gordon stabilized is due to parenting structure. Not alpha, leader or dominance.

22:50 Elisha: So for folks who would like to reach out to you, learn about the wonderful stuff that you are doing or make a purchase of your book how can that be made possible?

23:07 My book is available by searching "The Soul Of A Dog" online or: https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Dog-Destructuring-Construct-Consciousness/dp/1637352778/

ADRIENNE BARKER SPEAKS No Prep Needed | Meet James Tsai

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: James Tsai is not your typical author or expert. Born in Canada to a father fluent in seventeen languages and a mother with a photographic memory, James carved his own unconventional path — from teaching himself calculus in grade six to dropping out in grade ten to launch his first business. He went on to own a niche footwear brand, acquire a Los Angeles shoe manufacturer, and build JETSAI SuperCar Transport, a high-value enclosed vehicle logistics company. But it was his work with dangerous, death-row dogs that became his defining purpose. After successfully rehabilitating dogs that had violently attacked people, James founded the Arf Arf Bark Bark Rescue Foundation and developed a groundbreaking behavioral framework now published in The Soul of a Dog. His insights don't stop at animals — they cut to the heart of consciousness, communication, and what it means to truly understand another being. A survivor of near-drowning as a child and a violent semi-truck accident in northern British Columbia, James brings a rare perspective: one forged by adversity, sharpened by obsession, and grounded in results.

0:52 Intro by Adrienne Barker, host: ADRIENNE BARKER SPEAKS No Prep Needed

1:48 Adrienne: Who is James Tsai?

1:53 I'm the founder of Arf Arf Bark Bark Rescue Foundation. The foundation successfully rehabilitates all dysfunctions up to, and including vicious human predation and extreme skittishness. Without use of medication, food, prong/e-/choke/slip collar or brute force/alpha/dominance. Thusly debunking the entirety of behavioral euthanasia as a 'humane choice' concerning severe psychological distress.

2:43 No medication. Intakes must be entirely weaned off of all psychopharmaceuticals. Intakes must be in their normal predatory perspective. My typical intake weighs between 150 to 211 pounds and shoulder/withers height of 35 inches or taller. Strongly prefer at least one credible attempt to kill a person. My success rate for downtraining, stabilization and rehabilitation over the past twelve years is literally 100 percent. Empirical proof with links are in my book The Soul Of A Dog; Destructuring Behavior And The Construct Of Consciousness.

3:28 Family background.

4:14 My rescue foundation and work.

5:14 Adrienne: So behavioral euthanasia what does it mean?

5:20 I explain behavioral euthanasia and why it's misguided. Dogs do not desire "suicide-by-human."

6:16 Adrienne: So let's go back. I'm fascinated by this. The stories are so sad when I hear, you know, like here in Florida and South Florida certain dogs, you are not even allowed to have them because of the behavioral trait. But I've always questioned; James Tsai, T-S-A-I. I've always questioned if it's really...if it's the owner or if it's the dog. I've always leaned that it's the owner that makes a dog mean ... So let's talk about that first question that I have. Where does owner fall in the responsibility with the behavior or a larger breed dog?

7:15 The first onerous responsibility of misinformation are from all dog trainers and behaviorists.

8:23 Cross-species domestication is disingenuous to all species except human.

10:04 Adrienne: Who reaches out to you? Are the owners? Are they reaching out to you after they've had an incident? After the police have knocked on their door? What does that look like?

10:22 They reach out to me typically before or after a negative interaction. I'll ask a number of questions which are not within the bailiwick of the classical or modern trained PhD behaviorist or master dog trainer.

12:40 "Jenny, I may not be a smart man but I know what Love is." My approach is Familialship. Your dog has a congruent comprehension as Forrest Gump. In the eighty percentile range relative to human sophisticated consciousness.

13:30 I provide analogy and examples of congruence. Empathetic structure. Self-objectification.

14:29 Idiomatic contextualization relative to dimensional existence.

15:04 Adrienne and I chit-chat.

17:28 Adrienne and I watch the video about a severely disabled dog named Gordon.

22:16 Adrienne: Was that all in one meeting? Was that one session? Or was it a couple of sessions that you got the dog to go from one extreme to the other?

VIDEO: Gordon, dangerous, severely disabled Bulldog diagnosed with Dandy Walker syndrome. This remarkable stabilization required one session of total time was 70 (seventy) minutes: https://youtu.be/D0LzlxLnXNY

One month follow-up of Gordon in his new wheelchair. My parenting protocols are simple, intuitive and rehabilitation was practiced by Gordon's foster parents on their own: https://youtu.be/PX6ftl7JCMU

​22:27 I had no prior information and it was a cold-meet. Gordon's disability had not yet been diagnosed. Gordon was a new intake for the rescue org that hired me. I'm processing Gordon's behavior in real time, quantifying his behavior seemingly confluent with his disease. In other words; I'm able to separate (disaggregate) all of Gordon's overall presenting behaviors (dysfunctions) and accurately attribute (destructure) dysfunction.

23:55 Adrienne: So your dog, so Nero he wasn't gentle or what was going on with Nero?

24:03 "Nero tried to kill the foster's adult daughter." Nero was 10 years 4 months old when I adopted him from Alabama from the largest Great Dane rescue in North America. Nero was extremely dangerous. Nero had spent his first seven years caged for breeding then Nero's next three years was spent on a prong collar and heavy chain, living outdoors all year round. Nero was dumped at the local shelter weighing 75 pounds instead of 140 pounds. Nero dragged a woman from the couch onto the floor. Nero would try to drag men over his fence and into his yard.

30:01 Adrienne: What a good feeling because then Nero has a great life.

31:41 Adrienne: I think when we're talking about pets that I think that talking to even those that are walking around in this world without the pleasure of having or owning an animal. I actually have a dog and cat, James. And I know this sounds crazy but they "fight like dogs and cats." Isn't that crazy?

32:15 Adrienne: Because you need to use a leash in Florida and first of all there are people out there that think "My dog is so sweet I can take my dog out without a leash" but then they forget there's other dogs like my dog that is on a leash and will go crazy.

33:33 Adrienne: A couple things; children should not just approach any dog. We've got to do better in teaching children to not run to a dog. Do you agree?

33:49 Adrienne: That is serious. And your dog should stay on a leash even if you think your dog is the best dog in the world. That's protecting your own dog not just other dogs out there.

34:03 It's extremely important to have your dog on leash when walking.

35:11 Adrienne: One thing Fez has is he hates the vacuum cleaner. It will drive him crazy. He gets scared. He fights it. He barks. And I'm like, "What happened?" ... Have you ever met another dog that, like has actually like a reverse action, you know, reaction to a vacuum cleaner?

35:53 Being afraid of vacuum cleaners may appear by either running away or "confronting" the machine. My approach using a very calm mundane voice that parentally acknowledges and objectifies the vacuum cleaner. Trying to force 'habituation' upon a dysfunctional dog is detrimental and emotively suppressive. Attempt of 'acclimation' heretofore is similarly incorrect. Familial-species do not comprehend human physics, engineering, etc... There is no emotive predicate. No pre-existing/prior memory which is "aggregative conflation of historical comparative for idiomatic contextualization" (which is evolutionary theory's agreeance re: construct biological complexity) hence deficient emotive 'maturation' if the individual's "fear" is unrequited by their (human surrogate) parent. It's simply a manner of identifying the vacuum cleaner (noun (inanimate) objectification) with a calm mundane voice (in a lower "business voice" register) and without appearance of the vacuum cleaner as a threat, intimidating nor gentle cajoling. Simply identify the vacuum cleaner each and every time with a calm voice (objectification and protection develops cogently). Without oppression. Apply reset hugs as described in my book The Soul Of A Dog. Doing so provides your dog a Safe Physical Harbor to process their highly complex foreign emotives within parental safety (congruent to teaching a child to "count to ten" before becoming angry).

37:52 I explain one of my universal parenting protocols "Chronological Seniority" to keep multi-species families from fighting or self-marginalizing. It's literally super simple and logically intuitive...simply maintain the chronological seniority by saying everyone's name in the order they came into your home. It's naive to think this protocol is "alpha, leader or dominance" because chronological seniority sustains the "birthing" order...the "first-born" knows they arrived in the home first. "Second-born" knows they are second into the home and comprehend who is there first. So from there is multi-specie(s) family which continues chronological seniority...and I approach individual and group psychological awareness (so for example 'fourth-born' in a family group of five dogs/cats/etc...knows that there were three siblings present when they arrived into the home but not aware of chronology other than hearing themselves identified "fourth" in seniority (so the disaggregate (each individual) has a unique comprehension of the family-group, their "birth order" and who was there before, etc... and a cogent awareness of the "whole family" (aggregate). By saying everyone's name in chronological seniority I teach everyone to 'figure out' the birth order simply by saying their names in chronological seniority. There is no alpha needed because the human surrogate parent actively engages the familialship. I've repeatedly integrated a Familialship of extremely dysfunctional dogs including Great Danes that have genuinely tried killing a person. Up to eight together, eating raw diet together, sleeping together, walking together. The dysfunctional dog's parent must always be parenting.

39:05 Adrienne discusses how she rescued her beloved cat, Gabby from a life of loneliness.

40:48 Adrienne: But this is the thing. I love that you can take these dogs and rehabilitate. And that's really the whole piece of this is that people are coming to you. And how many dogs are you rescuing at one time? Is it like people are coming to you or do you go to their home? Give me a little bit of an idea of how you work so I can understand that.

41:11 I offer private, phone and video sessions for all dogs. My rescue org offers rehab in-house for extremely vicious, extremely dangerous, human predatory, animal predatory, extremely skittish dogs with preference for giants.

42:08 Adrienne and I chat while the video of Axel the German Shepherd plays on screen. Axel is six-years old, attacks people, dogs and animals. Has bitten two family members in the face. Declared dangerous by Surrey Animal Control. This session was 36 minutes. Axel's very dangerous behavior was fully-rehabilitated by the family on their own. Surrey Animal Control removed Axel's designation after one year.

46:42 Adrienne and I chit-chat about crating, animal laws, licensing anyone breeding.

48:12 Adrienne: Isn't it true when your dog is sniffing it's almost like, our scrolling on a phone?

48:33 Let your dog smell and walk casually and keep a consistent slow walking pace. Dogs that frequently p*e, especially in the same places are feeling "un-secure" insecure (low self-esteem). Frequent urination defaultively causes the 'stress' in their urine to concentrate due to the frequent urination at those spots. Hence a trait (psychogenesis) of obsessive compulsion.

Adrienne and I chat to the end of her podcast :)
