‘Be the pack leader’
But what does this mean? How can you be the pack leader?
To understand your dog’s behaviour best, you need to step back and see things through your dog’s eyes. Understand the breed of dog you have, research them so you can have the best knowledge on them possible. This is something you should have done previously to make sure you were getting the right dog for your lifestyle. Dogs are pack animals, it is in their natural instinct and no matter what breed, they need to understand you are the leader of your pack and that they must listen to you. This does not in any way mean to be aggressive or physically discipline your dog - this will only teach them to be scared of you and could bring out aggressive behaviour of their own. Over the next few days we are going to cover some excellent tips on how you can be the ‘Pack Leader’ and build a happier relationship between you and your pet.
You will learn how to create boundaries, set rules and follow them and confirm you are the confident, calm pack leader. You will understand how important it is for your dog to know their place in the pack and how to constantly confirm this, by correctly walking them and entering rooms.
