Before I get to the meat of this post, let me say that I am a compassionate and understanding person. I'm sure there is someone out there who will vouch for me. I am nuts about dogs and people make me nuts. I am skilled in the psychology of humans and dogs, but dogs are so much easier to change..... I took my kids and dogs to a local park tonight. My dogs, though they belong to a trainer, aren't all that trained. They don't do anything fancy, but what's special about them is that I can trust them. |

Leadership means that you and your dog know and follow the house rules that you have established by teaching them to your dog and then enforcing them routinely. Your dog should look to you for guidance and happily listen to you. You have the leader position, but you must do things to make that clear to your dog. Clear boundaries give a dog security and confidence, so that he can just be a dog and leave the rest up to you to handle. 1. The Leader Controls the Resources |
