Alpha Dog dominant dog

You are a strong man, dynamically determined. Everyday decisions, ones that only affect you, others who can influence others. Well, does your dog know that? He has a will of its own that it is trying to impose. I allow? Whether belongs to a race in its history selected for his strong will, intelligence and independence, whether small was allowed to form bad habits, your dog can take the boss role fast enough manners.
Your dog will bark, jump, run, shoot leash, requires food, climb on sofas etc.. And this, exactly when you will like it less.

 Like us, dogs are social beings with a sense very well organized hierarchical system constantly assesses where they are and always want a higher position. If possible, even one on top, the head of "pack" alpha male. If you have a dog with dominant tendencies, you will be a psychological war with him, and you must be one that dominates. Moreover, he will be the head, and from there, a series of troubles for you. You should not get mad. You need to be armed with patience, perseverance and be ready always to assert authority in front of the dog whenever it tries to go around.

You must understand that a dog will not do these things because its bad, stubborn, rebellious or aggressive, but because its dog. We want to get something and try various ways of behavior, stopping and leaving the one that gives results. If you will not leave impressed by these attempts, might as he gradually give up, seeing it does not work.

Some breeds such as Rottweiler, Doberman, German Shepherd, selected for their working ability, intelligence and ability to pass without much help from the man over difficult situations, can be prone to such "behavioral problems". Not exclude any Cocker, Chow Chow or some terrier breeds already known that their will often remain more faithful than his master commands.

Such problems can occur in any breed and owners due to carelessness and not notice at time does not correct the problems comporatment of the dog or, worse, encourages them in too much love, otherwise known as spoil. A greater proof of love for your dog is to provide an education and learn good discipline. Otherwise, it will expose some frustration that can suppress even later on it. Another reason for the dominance trends in behavior might be, say some experts, taking the baby from the nest before eight weeks. It seems that this would be the period in which such trends are corrected by the mother and other siblings in the nest.

But the owners remain the main perpetrators. A dominant dog will try to get the desired response from the master by any means. Even if the owner will shout and we will argue, but will fail immediately, he will know that it must do next time. And probably will! What to do?

A common problem among many owners of dogs is pulling on the leash. Come walk with him and feel he will actually walk you? How do you feel that pull, you can correct with a firm tug of the leash (easier if the collar work force) or, if not enough, you can stop running. He should understand that the pulling  will only keep him on the spot, not to take him where he wants faster.

Another problem may be as common, is climbing into bed or couch. I say again "Down" or simply give it away and invite you again when you want and you believe you do not mind.

Get home and the dog jumps on you or guests frenetic, more than you want? Ignore it every time, repeatedly, taking care to give them attention only after it has cooled and you have your time for it. As you would any other negative behavior of the dog: do not answer. The dog has to look at you as being in leadership. A true leader does not begging for attention or respect, and it imposes. Need to impose on his face as simple and effective. Bark, salt, scratching the door with his paws? I say again "no" on a firm tone, making sure that you have in that moments attention. If it continues, do not tease, but continue on the same calm, but firm with an answer like "No". Its very possible to push him, but you must ignore.

You could still try to offer him an alternative in such moments. For each requests, replace it with one of you, that, once a dog will meet to praise generously allowing to satisfy the one I own only after you give approval. Bring your dog in position "sit" is a good way to increase control over it. Wants to do something? He ordered to take position "sit" which will allow them to go to satisfy their own desire when you see fit. Not required to use this position, but he will have to learn that, to respect his will, he must first respect another more powerful.

Do not expect to have miraculous results in a short time. Expect even make things worse before they improve. And if you trust that you succeed, do not hesitate to seek professional help.
