The Relationship and Bond with our Dogs.

Dogs are not our children. They are dogs. They do not think and act like children. They see the world as dogs. As an owner you need to respect and treat them as a dog.

Don't let your dog  train you. Be the leader and he'll love you for it.

When you understand and treat your dog like a dog, you will be building a healthy relationship and bond with him.

Dogs NEED and THRIVE on Rules, Boundaries and Limits.

As a leader, trainer and responsible owner you need to set rules for your dog.

Rules for your convenience as well as rules to show leadership.

A leader decides what to do and where to go. A leader leads the way on walks and out the doors. A leader decides where and when it's time to eat or sleep. Limits can be how rough or excited a dog gets in play activities. How to meet and greet guests. What kind of jobs the dog can do. Set Boundaries for your dog. Boundaries are not only the property line. Boundaries can mean your dog does not go into the bathroom. Why does he need to? He should have a Potty spot outside. Rules, Boundaries and Limits can mean your dog leaves the kitchen or dinning room when the family sits down to eat. Maybe he's not allowed in the kids bedrooms.

Have a family meeting and talk about the perfect dog. Set his rules accordingly. Make him work for your attention, treats, or playtime. By work I mean he needs manners, respect, focus, and obedience. If you don't give your dog a balanced routine and a job, your dog will find one of his own. He'll rearrange your house, patrol the neighborhood, herd the children, empty the garbage on the floor, you get the idea. Worse case, your dog will feel the need to become the Leader and set rules of his own for the family.

IN every pack there MUST be a Leader and it must be YOU!
