(high energy music)

Exercise first, that dog is going to be hungry,

don't feed him yet.

Now come and meet my pack!

(dog barking)

- YouTube family, my goal this time in this video is

to make sure that we understand how to be more proactive

in Fourth of July, how to make sure that we understand

why dogs develop flight or fear or even panic,

and why many dogs often escape from their homes.

Fourth of July is one of those stressful days in America

even though it means Independence Day.

It's a very proud day for American people.

I'm proud to be an American.

It's something that I understand, and I'm very proud of it.

But, at the same time, I heard how many dogs escape

from their homes and I also see

how many sad pet parents feel right after that day.

So Fourth of July is 243 years old.

And so my goal is to make sure that we prepare

for Fourth of July.

That we make sure that we embrace Fourth of July.

That we make sure the whole family embraces

and agrees how to be proactive with a dog,

so all dogs in America, every single dog around the world,

understand how to be around firecrackers.

Because humans, we like to celebrate with that,

and it's something that we want them to eventually enjoy.

Some dogs do get to enjoy it.

Some dogs get to understand that the human likes that stuff.

And so they will learn to sleep right next to you

just like watching a basketball game with you

or some kind of sport.

You know, dogs don't understand that is a basketball game.

What they know is you like it, you enjoy it,

and sometimes you scream when your team loses.

So I think we put a really nice piece of content

for you guys, especially for your dogs,

and for once and for all, to understand how to prevent,

how to be more proactive on Fourth of July,

and how to make sure that all dogs in America learn

and enjoy a Fourth of July with us.

Because, after all, they are family members,

and we're very happy for them to be with us.

We want to make sure they enjoy everything we celebrate.

And honestly, Fourth of July without a dog

is not too American for me.

Dog learns symbolically these flags on Fourth of July

means this is about to happen.

- [Peter] So they hate Fourth of July?

(laughing)

- They don't hate Fourth of July,

it's because the human doesn't understand firecrackers

to a dog is the same thing as missiles to a human.

See no one will try to feel okay when a missile

just passed by your house.

And then the explosion.

- [Peter] So they pick up, let's say the owner enjoys

the fireworks, does the dog pick up on that or no?

- Yes.

-The energy of us?

Okay, so it's more normal, it's more normal

Peter, that the dog have flight in the presence

of something he doesn't know.

He doesn't know firecrackers.

Even though you like them, you still have to introduce

the fact of flight is not an option.

- [Peter] Oh I see. - You understand?

It's almost like saying, "Peter,"

"if a missile comes right here, don't run!"

So a dog has an ingrain reaction to something

they don't know, such as fire and loud sounds.

(mimics explosion) is fire, you understand?

So the eyes is like "how do I?"

(mimics explosion)

And it's really loud, or really (mimics screaming firework).

So you gotta get to the point if you wanna enjoy

Fourth of July that a dog feels about those sounds

"happy go lucky" or "calm surrender."

So that is the destination.

Any other brain outside that is gonna have trouble,

because it's gonna be fight, flight, and avoid.

It's like if you see a meteor,

and it's coming (mimics explosions).

Yeah, you're not gonna be like "Ah."

(laughs)

-They did it again! (laughs)

- You know what I mean?

So you have to understand how animals look

at Fourth of July.

Cats, you're never gonna find cats anywhere,

but they go and hide.

Everybody knows that cat is gonna go in somewhere.

And there's no cats like "Oh my god,

it's Fourth of July again."

You learn something?

- That's it right? (laughs)

- Well, Peter, documents everything I did.

You never had a dog.

This is the first time you work with someone like me, right?

- [Peter] Yeah.

- There's not too many of me anywhere.

- [Peter] Only one.

- [Cesar] It's the truth, that's the truth here.

I can't hide that.

Listen, but what do you learn right now

about Fourth of July and dogs?

- You learn that they learn and see things

differently than we do.

And we need to prepare for that.

- Yeah, I mean everybody, even our culture changes

the way we see things.

You see, we have to be respectful of,

not just the animal in you, the human in you,

but the race in you, right?

So we have to respect race, how you Filipinos see life,

and how we Mexicans see life.

We have to understand that part.

So if we know that about ourselves,

we should know that about human to dog.

How does a dog experience Fourth of July?

This is instincts.

This is conditioning.

So a name is a sound that they learn

that conditions them to know that

that gives them food, water,

going somewhere, affection, you understand?

It's outside learned experience.

This is inside programming.

The data is already here.

You get it?

So animal dog breed is first before name.

You're not introducing Fourth of July

to the name of the dog.

You're introducing Fourth of July to animal, dog, breed.

And so, if you wanna do something perfect,

focus on the animal.

This whole animal will fight, flight, avoid, surrender.

A chicken will fight, flight, avoid, surrender.

All of them, they will do fight, flight, avoid, surrender.

It's not the species, so if you don't wanna focus on

the rest, just take care of the animal.

Keep the animal calm.

So if the animal in them is calm, the species

in them is calm, the breed in them is calm.

If you understand instincts are calm,

the human in you is calm,

the Filipino in you is calm,

and the Peter name is calm.

You understand, your instincts are calm.

So you have to make a separation of the intellectual world

and just keep a dog instinctual, emotional, and spiritual.

The intellectual is human.

That's rational.

Satellites, what you have on your shoulder,

and the backpack, my bracelet, this glasses,

that's an intellectual creation.

Dogs will never make glasses for another dog.

You see what I'm saying?

So you can't use intellectual to connect

or teach the instinctual, emotional, spiritual.

It won't work.

- [Peter] They Google what a firework is.

- The can't Google (mumbles)

How do you condition any dog in world to be okay

with Fourth of July?

Exercise first.

That dog is gonna be hungry.

Don't feed him there.

Wait until the sound and see what reaction that he chooses.

Fight, flight, avoid is which one, right?

If it's in that state and then you wave the smell,

because he's gonna be hungry, and he's gonna be tired.

That's the first day.

You wanna make sure the body's tired and the mind is hungry.

So if fight, flight, avoid comes into the picture,

you can wave a piece of liver, a piece of,

something that's really freaking primal,

you know what I mean?

It's like something like--

- [Mesa] Like a smell they can't resist.

- Flight with food.

So how do you do it?

If the body's tired, the mind is hungry.

Don't bring boxed things, you know.

Crappy kind of treats, those are later

when the anxiety or the fear is not as high.

So what you want to do when a dog is focusing on fight,

flight, avoidance is redirect to something

that can take to "happy go lucky/calm surrender."

So yeah, because 60% of the brain is controlled

by the nose, so never go after the eyes or the ears.

Eyes is 15, ears is 25.

Why would you go after the lowest thing on the planet?

For me it's "Okay tire, hungry, nose.

Tire, hungry, nose.

Tire, hungry, nose."

Then what?

Happy go lucky, calm surrender then I give them the food.

So then that sound is ignored

because he's gonna get food

for being happy go lucky, calm surrender.

At a certain time, you play the music, you know what I mean?

So at a certain time you bring the smell.

So what you're playing is with environment.

You are the director of that imprint.

So that day has to be Spielberg, you know, perfection.

- [Peter] Can it take every owner a day? To put an imprint,

you would say, or longer?

- I would say it would take about an hour.

- [Peter] An hour? - Yeah.

It takes about an hour.

Listen what is gonna take long is the walk

you're about to do.

Okay, so that walk, okay, so most people walk 15-30 minutes,

very few one hour.

But if that day before the Fourth of July,

okay before Fourth of July, you go for,

at least, 2-3 hours walk.

Watch what happens the Fourth of July.

You know what I mean, because normally

he doesn't have the stamina, the strength.

So you gonna take him farther than their usual,

so by the time he comes home, his body is gonna say

"Hey, go to rehab. Go to restore."

And he's just gonna go.

So by the time he hears Fourth of July,

the body is not gonna let him get up, you understand?

The tired is gonna be so heavy, so if he gets a little bit,

you bring a little food, he's gonna go do this.

So the preparation is easy.

The thing is can you make the time,

because your friend needs more than 30 minutes?

Fourth of July is about to show up.

And we all knew it, but nobody planned for the dog.

(laughs)

So dog has to go out to drain energy,

come back, and now you expose him to things

that are more likely for him not to be natural,

not to feel natural.

Which is Fourth of July.

No other species in the world uses missiles.

- [Kim] So let me ask you this,

if I don't have 3 hours to walk my dog,

can I introduce him to, if I never take him swimming,

can I take him on a different path

that he's never on that will change his energy level?

Because he's excited to be on an hour long hike

or he's swimming for the first time for 45 minutes?

Is it the same thing?

- [Cesar] Well if anything new is going to challenge
