Sergeants Pet

Your dog is arrogant, timid, submissive, demanding or aggressive? Chances are you have a dog who could benefit from a strong and just your hand. This program is a non-confrontational way to assert yourself as a leader of the pack! Training should be fun and stress free, not a battle going on with your dog.

Every pack needs a leader, and at least one dog over a man is equivalent to a package. Someone needs to take this leadership role and that the leader should be you. Dogs are much happier without the "weight of the world" over their shoulders, being a leader is stressful and they were better than letting take the reins and make the rules. Many behavior problems can be common directly related to a lack of leadership from the owner. Your dog will be ten times more likely to obey your orders when he really needed, if you as its leader. Without that connection, he'll probably ignore you so it's a worthy goal to work and make all the difference in how your dog is trained.

Now, do not worry, you do not need to be a sergeant to be a leader, in fact, you should be having fun with your dog! Dogs Judge "rank" through small daily interactions no major battles. This makes it easier for you to integrate the "house rules" in your daily life that will have a profound impact on how your dog views your relationship.

Say Please: no freebies, your dog will start working for what he wants. Well, the ways dogs "say please", meaning they sit or lie down for treats, meals, throw the ball, go outside, etc. No more speed flat food or bolting doors, use the commands your dog already knows to manage his behavior. Use your interactions with your dog as training opportunities and you will see that you practice the commands several times throughout the day without needing to set aside 20 or 30 minutes.

Furniture: snoozing on the sofa is a privilege not a right. And many dogs simply do not get this right yet. If your dog is not aggressive, you can let him up with the authorization. Insisting that "say please" and sitting or lying down first to ensure they know the couch is yours, not hers. Any attempt to slip must be filled with a wide impassive as you guide him off the leash or collar.

Aggressive dogs should not be allowed on the furniture without first being told to descend to the command. Period. If your dog acts aggressively when the furniture (or when you're on "his" furniture) and set your dog for success and simply refuse permission on the furniture. It is very clearly tell you he is not ready for that privilege yet. Maybe one day. But not now. Keeping the dog on a leash in the house, it will be easy for you to guide him out should he slip, without risking a bite.

Warning: This is by far the hardest rule for most families. It is very common pet the dog, without even realizing that we do. But in the language of dogs to pet and stir more often a dog may be considered a submission, and you certainly do not want your dog to think of yourself as submissive to them! You can fight against this in order before asking for a caress. You can provide your dog with as much attention as you want, but do work for him!

Any attempt by you to be petted dog pushing the nose (, scratching, slamming you with a toy) should be ignored. In dog language, he said, "Hey, man, pet me now!" The dog who commands you to pay attention to him and if you answer by touching or throwing the toy, then you said your dog that you trained. Ignore these excesses and your dog will accept you no longer obey his orders. Once he gives up and goes away then you can call more, ask for a sit, then practice.
