Aggression Quote by Cesar Millan
“Aggression is not a breed thing. Its a state of mind, and it comes from how the human is with the dog. There are four levels of energy, regardless of the breed: low, medium, high, very high. The idea is to get a dog in your same level or lower than you.”
About This Quote

In simple terms: Energy alignment reduces aggression.
Match dog’s energy to yours.
