Have you been wondering what “alpha dog” means? I will help you understand what this means, and give you dog training tips to help you show your dog you are the alpha!
Dog Training Tip #1
You need to understand that dogs are pack animals. This means they are social animals and like to live in groups. The alpha dog manages the pack.
Dog Training Tip #2
You need to show your dog from day 1 that you are the alpha dog. You need to be firm and consistent with her.
Dog Training Tip #3
Leash train your dog. Get a training collar or a pinch collar if needed. When she doesn’t obey the command “snap” the leash. This feels like the mother’s nip when she is disciplining her pup.
Dog Training Tip #4
Alpha dog behavior includes making sure you go first. If you are taking her outside for a walk, you go through the door first, not her. Only the alpha dog leaves first.
Dog Training Tip #4
Don’t let your dog disobey you. When you do, this tells her she is the alpha dog. This is where consistency comes in.
Dog Training Tip #5
Make her wait for her food. Have her sit while you place the food in front of her, then release her. Only the alpha dog eats first.
Dog Training Tip #5
Don’t let your dog jump on you. If you allow this (like when you come home) you are letting her know she is the alpha dog. Tell her down, and be consistent.
This is just a little taste of what it takes to become the alpha dog. You need to develop a dog training program that suits your needs and implement it. Be consistent. For more information on dog training tips and to purchase a manual please come to : Dog Training Tips
