Dogs feel secure when they know that they are part of an organized structure. Dogs are pack animals. They look for a pack leader to guide and protect them. In the wild, the alpha leader is the one who is dominant and assertive. Even as domesticated animals, the dog will look for these qualities in their leader.
The pet owner should take the role of the alpha leader. Do not let the dog assume the alpha role because he will be difficult to discipline later on. As an alpha leader, the owner should be firm, assertive, and consistent with their treatment of the dog.
The pet dog will assume dominance should the owner fail to take the role. The tendency to become dominant comes from the dog’s need to have a social hierarchy. The followers will obey their leader out of loyalty and respect.
Dog owners will find it a challenge to discipline the do. But training will be easier if the dog looks up to the owner as his leader.
