Dog Obedience Behavior Training
Dogs are like our children they need to be lead and guided by us. A dog is naturally a pack animal and therefore wants to belong to a group, just like the wolf which all dogs descend from. In dog obedience and behavior training it is important to remember that a dog thinks about teamwork and accomplishing things as part of a team (or pack).
Your dog looks toward and your family as its own little “team” and therefore looks up to you and expecting your assistance in surviving. It is therefore up to you to assume its position of pack leader which can easily be accomplished through dog obedience behavior training. Teaching it the rules of your house, the boundaries, limitations and therefore determining its behavior.
As you will find in any team that achieves anything there are characteristics found amongst the team that each member brings with them and adheres to to bond that team together. Some of these characteristics can be achieved through dog obedience behavior training such as a disciplined structure, respect amongst your pack for each member and ultimately you, the pack leader. Without these your pack will end up in chaos and inevitable problems will ensue as your dog does not know who to look for as its “pack leader”.
Any kind of dog needs to have the feeling that there is leadership and understanding within its own pack to enable it to feel calm and happy about itself. It is not bothered which person assumes the leader position so long as there is a definately leader. Dog obedience behavior training will help to cement the position of the pack leader or leaders.
Within a multi member family the dog will know what the “pecking” order is. As long as your dog knows what its position is, even if it is bottom of the pile, it will be happy and contented. Through consistent dog obedience behavior training, giving your dog by all of the family members your dog will soon notice that you are all its pack leaders and be very happy with the situation. It will then understand that all of the human pack members are its leader as they play a more dominant role than itself. Your dog will feel that its sense of security and well-being are secured.
Most dog obedience behavior training problems stem from lack of rules and discipline in the house. At this point you have learned that your dog needs to have a set of rules and boundaries firmly set in place in the household to enable it to be happy. It is the same way with children. Without mommy or daddy to set the rules and enforce those rules, kids typically end up with with an enormous amount of personal behavior problems.
Living with one or even a pack of dogs which understand the structure of the pack and importantly where they are in that structure is one of lifes precious gifts. I firmly believe that anyone and any dog, through dog obedience behavior training, can achieve a balanced, structured way of life and be truly happy.
