Leadership in Dog Training – Discover the Secret

Yes, training your dog can be simple! Discovering and understanding how the secret works, will make training your dog simple, fun, and rewarding for both you and your dog. It will be lasting as long as you are consistent and have the proper follow through. It’s really a life style!

I have many secrets that will help you in training your dog and there are many ways to get the task done. You are your dog’s pack member, but if you’re not the leader of the pack your training won’t be lasting, no matter what method you use.

Training your dog can be simple especially when you use your dog’s natural instincts to follow a leader, but it is still work.

What is that work? Change! You changing is the key factor, it is the work involved in reforming your old inappropriate ways of communicating and interacting with your dog.

So, the biggest secret of my dog training is your dog’s instincts. Your dog instinctively wants and needs a leader. Now your understanding of this secret and you seeing your relationship to your dog, as the dog sees it, and not what you think it is, is vitally important. Because that’s the big difference here!

You must take action, the right action. Now the question is how do you do this? You communicate leadership by your body language, tonality, mannerisms, consistency, and follow through. Here are a few examples of interactions with dogs that DON’T show leadership:

• Your dog nudges you and you pet him.
• Your dog asks you to play with him, and you do.
• Your dog asks you to put him outside, and you do.
• Your dog pulls you on the leash when going for a walk.
• You tell your dog to do something, but you don’t make him do it.

These are just a few signs that tell your dog he is the leader. From your dog’s perspective he doesn’t have to listen to you.

Now when you really need your dog to listen to you, is when he doesn’t, right? I bet you’re thinking of the times when your dog hasn’t listened to you. Did it embarrass you, frighten you, or make you angry?

Discover how to communicate to your dog so that he understands you are the leader. When your dog understands this, you will have his willingness to obey you. It isn’t just training it’s a life style!

Summary:

Leadership, just what is leadership to a dog? Do you know? How does it affect your training, your relationship? Discovering how to communicate to your dog from his perspective makes all the difference in the world. Do you want to know for sure that you can control your dog? Will he listen when you really need him too? What is it that you do that will make your dog respect you enough to obey no matter what? What signals are you giving your dog that you are not even aware of? Better yet, what are your signals communicating to your dog? What are you saying to your dog when he nudges you and you pet and love on him? What makes the difference between obeying and not obeying? Is it love? Is it respect? Do you know? Do you want to know what you are truly telling your dog and how he sees you from his perspective? Can training your dog be simple, fun, rewarding for both of you and lasting? What is the secret?

Aggression in dogs, is it good, bad, controllable, avoidable, workable, tolerable? What should be done with an aggressive dog? What are the signs of aggression? What types of aggressions are there? Is there hope for an aggressive dog? Why is a dog aggressive? There are many questions to ask and to think about when it comes to aggression. One thing for sure it is nothing to play around with or make excuses for. Most dogs are not really aggressive. They may have fear issues, or had a bad experience with another dog or animal to cause animal aggression. Maybe they had a bad experience with a human, unintentionally, or intentionally that causes the problem. Maybe they just have a strong prey drive and it turns into motion aggression. Then maybe they were born that way.

So what do we do and how do we handle it?
