If you are a dog lover, then you should know that any, even the smallest and "toy" dog is an animal, and a schooling animal. A large dog can be dangerous for you, and a small one for your child. You must know how to treat any dog so that you always remain the leader of the pack and indisputable authority for it.
Instructions
Step 1
From the earliest days when a puppy appears in your home, take control of the places where the dog will be allowed to sleep, eat or play. If it is a serious dog, never let it sleep in your bed. In the pack, this is the place of the leader. Determine her place for her and strictly demand the execution of this command.
Step 2
You should always be able to take away any toy and food from your puppy. From the very first days of being in your home, the dog must obey you unquestioningly. Take the bowl away from her or dip your hand in it while eating. If the dog allows itself to growl, shake it firmly by the withers, scolding in a low voice. She should also share toys with you unquestioningly.
Step 3
Do not allow dogs of fighting breeds and with a dominant character to be in the dining room when your family is dining there, especially do not feed it from the table. In a pack, the leader always takes the first and best piece. Send the dog to its place during lunch or lock it in an aviary.
Step 4
Don't let your dog manipulate you. For example, do not respond to her invitation to play or pet her if you are busy or at work. Of course, if it is done in a persistent manner. Make her execute the “Lie down” command. Controlling her behavior through this command is a way to demonstrate your position as leader of the pack.
Step 5
An attempt to dominate is the aggressive behavior of the dog towards someone from the visitors whom she has already seen and does not like him. Owners of small dogs in this case are even touched, believing that the dog is so protecting them. Do not allow this and explain to her that you cannot do this. Scold her and send her to the place. In a pack, only the leader is allowed to decide with whom to start a fight. You encourage her tendency to dominate by letting her decide who to attack.
Step 6
And one more nuance that an inexperienced dog owner is unlikely to pay attention to. You should always make sure that you are always the first to go through the door or down the stairs. Forcing a dog to follow these rules of dog etiquette, you once and for all define the hierarchy for it in your "pack", thereby making life easier for her and yourself.
