The Only Way to Successfully Train Your Dog
If you want to be successful in your dog training efforts there a certain thing you need to put in place.
Not doing this will make your job exponentially more difficult.
If you've ever watched a good dog trainer you'll see that they all have one thing in common.
And that is that they all have a certain type of attitude.
That attitude is called dominance when it comes to dogs.
This is also referred to as being the Alpha dog.
What does it look like you may ask? They stand tall and erect and they speak in a clear confident tone of voice.
They don't "request" that their dogs do things they order their dogs to follow their commands.
Success with dogs is all about your attitude.
But why does this work? The reason is because it's what dogs expect.
You see, in dog society there is always an Alpha dog of the pack.
This dog is the boss and its job is to keep the other dogs in line.
If they didn't have this system there would be total chaos in a dog pack.
If you don't establish early on that you're the Alpha dog of the house then guess what? Your dog is going to assume the job.
And if that happens then you're going to have a much more difficult time training him.
When you give an order he's going to look at your and think "what does this guy think he's doing?" Or, "who does this guy think he is?" And not surprisingly if an alpha dog thinks its getting challenged for the position as "top dog" he's going to react aggressively.
So the only solution is to establish early on in the relationship that you're the boss.
How is this done? Answer: do what other dogs do.
When your dog misbehaves what you do is roll him onto his back (belly up) and hold him there for a few moments with you standing over him.
This is a submissive position and it sends a clear message that you're the dominant one not him.
If you look around at how an adult dog behaves with misbehaving puppies you'll see them do this.
You'll also often see this happen when two dogs meet for the first time.
Very soon after they get acquainted one of them will establish dominance.
So the key is to get this handled early on when your dog is still a puppy because doing it when your dog is full grown is a lot more difficult and may require that you get professional help especially if your dog is of a big powerful breed.
Happy training!
