    I plan to get a dog this summer, Ellen. Not a puppy, but an older dog that someone dumped. I use to work at a shelter, and the amount of older dogs in there is heartbreaking.

    i adopted my black lab from a shelter 2 years ago. he was 10yrs old when i got him. Poor thing was all sad but when I adopted him, it was like he was a puppy and ran around so much in the dog park, as if he was free. I still have him, and I have never regretted getting him. He is the most sweetest loving dog I have ever met and I am proud to be his owner!

    As a huge cat lover and a huger fan of Jackson Galaxy, I watched Lucky Dog S1-2 from my local cable TV (in Asia) and I was addicted immediately. First I love the heart of the show : *Brandon's MISSION to help those hopeless dogs find their LIFE PURPOSE.* The way Brandon handled all dogs is profoundly touching, heartwarming and inspirational. (The same quality I found on watching Mr. Galaxy) You will know why dogs behave this and that and how to correct them kindly. The show is not only full of knowledge but HOPE and COMPASSION.
    Now I just realized the show was an Emmy Win. As a no.1 fan, I felt very very very proud for the whole team of Lucky Dog.

    My husband and I adopted our first dog in 2010 and we decided to get an adult dog from a local rescue and she is the best dog in the world. We ended up rescuing another the next year! I wouldn't trade them for any amount of purebred puppies in the world.

    I wish Brandon reminded the viewers that sharks are not horrible creatures, neither are crocodiles nor Orcas, they're just hunters like other hunters in the Animal Kingdom, but they are huge and prey on big things, nothing personal.
    I hope Brandon remind viewers on his future exotic wild life that we are suppose to protect all animals and learn to coexist.All religious book say so, if not for good religious beliefs at least for maintaining the eco system running for our equivalent benefits.
    But don't get me wrong, I love Brandon and Ellen of course.

      Brandon is very concerned about the sharks and the wholesale slaughter for their fins, however, the 5 minutes on Ellen's show provided him little time to go into depth.

    • @SoraiaNakib
      @SoraiaNakib 10 років тому

      twas brillig You are right, but it is his first appearance on The Ellen Show; knowing his reputation and number of followers he should have chosen smartly few key words to break the bad impression and taboo about sharks e.g. " I love sharks and I fight against shark wholesale..." Five seconds in a video of 5 minutes could have publically reinforced his concern. The whole world watches Ellen today. I am not American and I not a US citizen. I'm certain Ellen is watched by almost a billion people all over the world. Sorry to say that his interview did not reflect well on sharks.

I was using some of their products before you ever became you got involved with HALO. I watch Brandon every week because my dog is a shelter dog, I'm not sure if I rescued her or if she rescued me (us - our 13 1/2 y.o Dalmatian had died). That said to me "get another dog to love" and we adopted our puppygirl (now 13 y.o.) and we saved her and left her cage free to rescue another dog as well! Thank you for all you do.

    • @gloriav7646
      @gloriav7646 5 років тому +1

      The attitudes have changed about circus animals. He started training because his parents did when animals were big in the circus. Now that they arent, he trains animals for movies but he doesnt train them to do things that are unnatural. He uses their natural behaviors and takes advantage of that, rewarding them for jumping, climbing, etc and integrating that into the training. Thus the animals enjoy training because it's positive reinforcement for behaviors that arent dangerous for them. What's unethical is the unnatural tricks of jumping through fire, keeping tigers and elephants chained up in cages without natural stimulation. What Brandon does is rewarding animals for what they do correctly, while giving them a choice to do the correct behavior not just forcing them. Hes very genuine and wrote a book about his training. I wrote him on his website about my passion for animals and he actually responded. It made my entire life that he took time out of his busy life to respond to me. He does his own social media and what not and the way he talked in the email I knew it was him. Anyway, if you know enough about brandon, youd know what a genuine trainer and person he is

  • @ternitamas
    @ternitamas 10 років тому

    Can we talk about the real reason why people don't go to shelters...
    It's because they use dogs as an item of status, a consumer product to show off. Who would want an uncool shelter dog while you can have a super in new super hot breed that's so trendy right now, right? Let's be real people...

    • @KnocKout099
      @KnocKout099 10 років тому
