How To Teach Your Dog That You Are The Boss
How do I teach my dog that I am the "boss"?
A dog needs to know that you are the mum, the authority figure, the person, and they like it. It's something that people have to come to terms with - the fact that dogs like it. It makes the dogs feel comfortable. The ways you can do that are by making the dog earn its food. No food for free, no free lunch. We make the dog earn praise. Before petting it, make the dog sit, lie down, or do something simple. It's very easy to get the dog to understand that you are its leader, and they want to be lead.
