Be the Pack Leader - Part 2

---

     As explained in Part 1 of Be The Pack Leader, your puppy or adult dog consists of an individual with an instinct relating to a highly communal and socially responsive, pack-orientated animals, and they have specific natural Pack Animal genetic markers or more specifically a detectable heritable genetic trait which contains a distinct inheritable indicator responsible for identity and ancestry of a particular species or even an individual within the species, and your puppy or adult dog will be more comfortable and have a feeling of belonging when you claim leadership, the dog will be free and content to be a happy willing follower.

It is easy to detect a puppy or adult dog within a family who is very confused and distraught because of the confusing group dynamics - its status within the family hierarchy, the puppy or adult dog will not only be confused about its status within the family hierarchy but also confusion reigns concerning the puppy or adult dogs acceptable behavior within the family environment - what is and what is not acceptable behavior for the puppy or adult dog and who is the lead role model with whom the puppy or adult dog can emulate the role model behavior - confusion reigns for the confused puppy or adult dog.

The tell tale signs for a confused puppy or adult dog is all too often seen, the dogs misbehavior that should be disapproved consistently, the puppy or adult dog pulls harshly when on the lead, the puppy or adult dog persistently barks and snaps viciously at other well trained dogs while again walking on the lead, these bad behavior problems which are the tell tale signs that your puppy or adult dog is the dominant Pack Leader or is attempting to become the dominant Pack Leader, and if this predicament is allowed to continue, the puppy in later times or the adult dog in more recent times can cause very serious injuries possibly to the least dominant member of the family - usually the toddlers who is not showing submissive traits, is in desperate need for intense and caring guidance through training which will ease his confusion and concerns.

Why do I need to be on the same level as my puppy or adult dog?

?Understanding the role model associated with a Pack Leader is important to the puppy or adult dog, because puppy or adult dog can easily pick up on the Pack Leaders negative behavior with the Pack Leader not realizing this is being reinforced.

?Because the puppy or adult dog live in the present and not necessarily the past, puppy or adult dog are more than capable of changing behavior, or receiving a puppy or adult dog from an animal shelter because of bad treatment or abandonment, the puppy or adult dog is more than capable of becoming a calm and loving family pet

Teaching the puppy or adult dog as Pack Leader.

Teaching your puppy or adult dog by the Pack Leader training techniques is not any more difficult or not very different from other dog training techniques, although the main considerations involve the method of communication. The communication involves both behavioral communication and body language communication, these two methods of distinctly differing methods of communication must be compassionate and consistent and when a praise is justified the communication must be positive and not timid or negative reluctance.

1. Always praise your dog as if the dog is the most important person in your life.

2. Always praise with warm affection - only when justified, but with short duration.

3. Always reprimand fairly - quickly, then forgive, reprimand must also be by touch - e.g. hand assist in to a sit position - do not hit under any circumstances, reprimand with confidence and authority - and do it quickly - don't hold a grudge, when the puppy or adult dog comply give him a positive and affectionate hug - this is Alpha - Pack Leader.
4. The puppy or adult dog must be obeyed on the very first command - avoid repeating commands, consistency is key to a well controlled puppy or adult dog.

5. Give the puppy or adult dog he or she can obey, e.g. running after dog, command is Stop! when complied, then Come!

6. A simple command for giving permission OK! e.g. permission for puppy or adult dog to enter the car, or go for a walk - the use of this command is purely to teach the puppy or adult dog to look to you for approval and permission instead of making own decisions. Remember - good behavior increases freedom and fun.

7. A simple command for Denying permission is No! e.g. teach the dog some manners by stopping him/her from sitting on couch or coffee tables in other people's homes, or stopping the puppy or adult dog from excitedly jumping up at friends family to attract attention.

8. Sit-stay position. to reinforce your position of Alpha. Place the puppy or adult dog in the sit-stay position for about five minutes, if the puppy or adult dog breaks from the position, replace the puppy or adult dog on every occasion replace the puppy or adult dog in the sit-stay position until in full compliance - do not shout, no hitting, no electronic stimulation, no missed walks or valuably contact with the family, just a sit-stay easy and effective.

9. Be firm, fair and friendly. Take on the role of top male role - Pack Leader, be tough but loving, always be fair and never show aggression or anger, dogs understand fairness.

10. Pecking order of other dogs in the home. It's important to have each puppy or dog in the home within a clear "pecking" order within the dog pack, you decide the "pecking" order and always feed the top dog first, if necessary force the subservient dogs to wait their turn.

This is the dogs natural environment and dictated by their genetic markers, when you consider dogs in a Pack - or social gathering, there will always be a Pack Leader, and if you ensure you take on that Alpha role, then you will be in a position to take control of your dog or dogs in any situation, because they will take the lead from their Alpha male - Pack Leader.

Individual dog members within a tight social gathering will always attempt to become the Pack Leader, especially if the Pack Leader position is vacant. Your position as Pack Leader will prevent disobedience and in-fighting and ultimately avoid the serious injuries caused by the dominant dogs each fighting for supremacy within the pack and prevent attacks on the immediate family from dominant dogs.
