Dog Training Or Owner Training

We have always been around dogs since I was a kid, and although our family was "one of the dogs," I gave the next door as my Boxer dog. Despite this, as a family we did not have a clue on how to properly train a dog - as long as they do not mess on the floor, chewed slippers, and then became the fifth scream as we thought things were going well.

Like many dog ​​owners do not know the first thing about training a dog. Well, we think we do because the dog is sitting, or a paw to us when we have a party in our hands, but they are just tricks party.

So I bought my own dog when I got a place in mine. As she grew, she goes from adorable puppy in a liability. She left, never came when called and turned into a Tasmanian devil, when someone calls around. The final straw came when she tore into the room and scrambled to sit on the shoulders of a visitor who had come for me to determine a volunteer position. It was not a dog lover and I still remember the look on his face now ...

The problem is, I always treat dogs as pets, always give in to those sad-eyed, and not realizing that the dog saw me differently. Dogs are pack animals and as such are very aware of their position in the pack - and you and your family is the pack, even if there are only two of you.

Enter the little fact of psychology dog ​​and you are well on their way to a happier dog. From now on you will make your dog understand that you are the alpha male, or leader of the pack, and what you said yesterday. To ensure that the furniture? This is mine. You lie on the floor or in your dog basket. Do not feed the dog treats from the table - in fact, should the dog in his basket while you eat and is fed only after everyone is finished.

But it is not just to be mean and make fun of owning a dog?

Group leader dog eats first. He sleeps in the best position. Alpha male does not take a notice under the auspices of the dogs fussing around him when he comes back to hunt. When you constantly as a leader you must provide your dog to his understanding.

When you get home, ignore your dog's desperate attempts to seek attention until he calms down - then you praise him. Will not be long before your dog realizes he has fallen a few notches on the packaging hierarchy and acts accordingly. Quickly find that your dog is open quietly and quickly moved as it has worked when you get compliments.

Still not convinced that training your dog makes a happy dog? Look at it from the viewpoint of the dog. Human lives in a world full of confusing things and behavior that can not understand. Not to teach your dog a place in his bag, he feels his place of support. But that leaves stressed, resulting in an undisciplined and confused dog constantly trying to make sense of a vast world that she can not understand.

But when the pack leader to take command, take the responsibility off your shoulders. Just as a well-trained soldier, he is happy knowing that his job, his role in the pack, and what is expected of him - and happy to be with his leadership, you know that we deal with the "Big Stuff".
