DOGS NEED LEADERSHIP

Dogs without leaders can take that role for themselves, and consequently, show more dominant behavior (including aggression) toward other family members, including the owner. Dogs can also abstain from taking this position, but if they still go without a leader and if they keep getting punished for their ignorance, then consequently anxiety is going to strike the dog, and it can escalate to severe levels.

The best way to be a pack leader for your dog is to be balanced, and always consistent with your communication. Communication means that you praise your dog when they do well, but also correcting their mistakes so they learn not to repeat them. This is also what balance is about, where an owner is not afraid to let a dog walk all over them (literally or metaphorically), yet also keep things in control so that the dog can always be set up for success, not failure.

A great way to set them up for success is training them in basic obedience, so they understand what you expect from them, and can perform some tasks that will lead to reward for both you and your dog. Saying “no” or correcting your dog isn’t cruel, just as long as you’re not being extreme, and as long as you’re bringing in the positive as well. Dogs are smart and can learn, and we need to be their leaders and teachers.
