3 Tips To Be A Good Pack Leader

Why is it IMPORTANT to make yourself the Pack Leader in dog training?

Do you find that your dogs have behavioral issues, like barking at other dogs and biting your stuff? In these cases, it is most probably your dog thought that he is the pack leader, or maybe he is just confused about it.

But talking about dogs' nature (they are pack animals!), once you (the master) show the leadership, actually the dog is more than happy to be a follower!

Here I would like to share some tips to develop yourself to be the Pack Leader!

Tip #1: Take full control of his feeding arrangements

Your dog is not allowed to eat until you release. Be strict and eventually he will understand that: If I don't follow, I won't have food! Knowing that food is always the "ULTIMATE" goal for every dog, if you are able to show them that you are in control of their food, there is no way they cannot be listening to you. Bear in mind that you should control not only when to release food, but also where to feed them and you will feed them when they are behaving well!

Tip #2: Stay assertive during dog training

Take note that assertive is different from aggressive. Talk to your dog in gentle, but firm tone. Don't speak in cute way or in anger. If you know that your dog ignores you purposefully, stop first and come back later. Do not shout at your dog. Most of the time, shouting is useless but only hurting yourself. They can actually feel our love towards them. Likewise, they can feel also if we would allow them to do whatever they like. Dog training... is a matter of training them about discipline too!

Tip #3: Know your pack

We all love our dogs, aren't we? Understand and love them. Only when you know your pack and what fulfills them, then only balance is created. From there, we can formulate the dog training plan more effectively. It is like working in a team in our workplace. You got to understand everybody's personality before you can actually mix well with them. Balance the pack with your knowledge in dog training!

This is the fundamental and SUPER ESSENTIAL for dog training. Many people would say that dog training is difficult. But believe me, the key is at the - be the PACK LEADER!
