Become The Pack Leader
The Secret to a Good Owner Dog Relationship, Be The Pack Leader.
Upon observation of owners that have their dogs under control at all times and have a very happy dog is those owners that have become the pack leader of their dog / dogs. The question then becomes,”how to convince your dog you are the pack leader”? It is so important that you realize that the pack leader is the decision maker. The one who decides where we should go on a walk, how to be in control with all the different situations that pop up, and how to react to all the new and different / strange things that are out in the world.
What is important to understand is how dog packs function and that the pack leader makes ALL the decisions. Allowing your dog to have freedoms to make choices, most likely they will make a wrong one, like chase a car for instant. Some mistakes or wrong decisions could be costly to the owner and pet.
Unbelievably, your dog does not care what car you drive, the size of your house, the money you make, or that you are fluent in 4 different languages, that does not make you a leader to them. Your dog will respond nicely and happily to a hearty, tasty, snack!
One easy and important way to in force you are the leader and your dog will very likely to respond to, is walking through a doorway with you going first and your dog following on a lead/leash. Getting your dog to sit before dinner comes up way short of what you need to do to make your dog realize you are the leader.
One last note…using force is certainly not the way to become the pack leader and a matter of fact, using force can back fire baldy on you later if you are teaching your dog physical strength is what it is all about. Forcing your dog into submission will not convince your dog that you are strong enough to be the leader nor do you deserve the position but will really convince your dog that you are a bully and may even become scared of you and others to the point of lashing out violently to protect itself and or try your fake authority.
So how do you become the pack leader? All dogs worldwide, regardless of breed use the same ways to check to establish the pack leader. The best way to learn about how to put it into practice is to watch it being done on video as I have done through one of the video based web sites. The important areas to take control in are the following:
• The pack leader will be in total calm control when your dog barks and alerts you to danger. This includes anything that your dog may perceive as dangerous and barks at in and around the property
• On the walk your dog should not pull you at a single stage, even the beginning! Learning to walk your dog properly can only really be learnt through video as I have found out!
• If you are the pack leader then your dog should be able to relax and switch off completely inside the house. If your dog is always switched on most of the time and can’t relax then that is your dog on pack leader duty!
• Getting your dog to switch off is directly connected to how you meet and greet your dog after your return home. You need to watch it on video it is so subtle but it is the difference between being the pack leader or the follower.
• Lastly, feeding your dog correctly will establish who the pack leader is and there is much more to it than asking your dog to sit! Also if you have a dog that is “not food motivated” then you may be in for a surprise!
I have found a site that shows you, using video, exactly how to become the pack leader and how crucial it is to changing any behavioral issue.
