Things that show a dog who is leader:
Leaders eat first. Leaders go through doors first. Leaders stay calm and in control. Leaders set the pace and direction. Leaders do not let their space be invaded. Leaders start and end play. Leaders do not beg for attention. Leaders do not give out free treats. Leaders assume the higher ground (i.e. couches, beds, chairs) Leaders never change direction or step over the dog. Leaders assign resting spots for the pack. A dog that sees himself as pack leader would: Always want to walk in front of you Always want to exit and enter before Insist they are not bothered while resting Claim any food or possessions in reach first Claim the right to guard any food or possessions they come across Require you do not touch them in ways they do not like Demand different forms of attention or behaviors from you, their lesser If your dog matches any of these items in this list contact me and we can work on leadership exercises.
