Does Your Dog Cry Wolf?

Dog Training - You Reap What You Sow

Mainly dogs and pups like to follow their basic instincts and their influences. Many experts have written thousands of articles and books about dog behaviour, and as far and wide as you go you are unlikely to find an expert who advocates an aggressive manner of dog training. The reason for this is that pups absorb what they are taught very quickly, and behaving aggressively towards a dog will influence it to behave in an equally aggressive manner. The wolf instinct is inherant in all dogs – because that is where ti comes from.

Now, if you find a wolf in the wild and take an aggressive posture towards it, the wolf will attack you. It is likely to go for your throat and not stop until either you or it are fatally wounded Although domestic dogs have lost something of that instinct and ferocity, there is buried deep down a tendency to react with aggression when it is backed into a corner by an owner. A dog may back down when you strike it. If you repeatedly strike it, it will react as any animal under threat – and it will bite you.

By now every one who is a Dog Lover has heard about the Dog Whisperer and most probably seen some of his shows. Cesar always points out to act as a leader of the pack which means to be firm and decisive but never hurting your most precious companion physically. All we need to do is try to not forget that we are not spoiling a little child or the opposite have to pressure this normally trusting creature into something it doesn't want to do. Being a pack leader usually brings pain free results for everyone involved. Absolutely the only way to do it

Give a dog fun, exercise and affection and it will repay you in kind with interest in the most fantastic way. A dog will form a bond with its owner instinctively and do anything it can to please him. Use this instinct to your advantage, and watch your dog blossom into an animal you can be proud of, rather than like a bear with a sore head. Maybe like a wolf with a sore head.
