DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE A GROWN DOG WITH BAD HABITS.
Understanding Your Dog
The dog has evolved from the wolf, making the dog a pack animal. Your dog does not think of you as a human. Rather, he perceives you as another dog, and your family as his pack. For this reason, it is important to establish your position in the hierarchy as pack leader (Top Dog). If the proper rank is not established, your dog will reduce you to a “litter mate.” In nature, no two dogs or wolves in the same pack rank equally. When your dog is unsure about his position in the hierarchy, the dog may assume a dominant role in the household, resulting in behavioral problems or even worse:aggression.
Scenario I: No Established Rank
Your dog has a deaf ear when asked to follow basic commands such as sitting, staying or recall (coming back when called). Without established rank, the dog may soil the carpet, steal, chew or decide to have a snack out of the trash can. Often dogs that feel they are the leader of the pack will dig holes in the yard, ruin landscaping, and jump on the door repeatedly when confined to a room or bark continuously. When guests arrive, the dog may become overly exuberant and bound excessively on your company.
Scenario II: Established Rank
When your dog is told to sit, stay or come, the dog obeys the command. Your dog will not soil the carpet, steal, chew or rummage in the trash. Your dog will not ruin your landscaping or jump on the door. When guests arrive, your dog will maintain a calm composure. In general, when you have established yourself in the hierarchy as pack leader your dog will develop a willingness to please you.
