The way dogs behave a times, can confuse their owners. This often makes the bond between the dog and the owner difficult. If you understand why dogs do what they do, and how they do them, it will give you an upper hand in the bonding and training process.
Being a member of the wolf family, dogs have a social habit that makes them run in parks. They all have their roles, ranging from the dominant male and the submissive females.
Traits such as establishing or developing roles in the park is one of the such habits that the domestic dog inherited. A dog will like to know where he or she fits in the park. This makes it essential for the dog owner to take the lead and become the leader. Unless this is done, the process of bonding and training will be a little difficult.
Some dog owners are sometimes reluctant in taking the lead, because they are afraid of offending their little friend (dog). You have to overcome this fear if you really want to achieve your goal of having a submissive dog.
A dog will establish himself as the boss if he is not tamed, he also end up growling and biting the owner, thus dominating. To avoid such acts, the owner has to take the lead by showing the dog that he must take the lesser place in the social order.
Such a dog will reject your training efforts, because he feels he is in charge. Some dogs might become too protective, thus becoming a danger to others, and even their owners. This is a natural character built in the wolf family; they often take the lead in protecting the pack.
One thing that is paramount in dog training is that you have to teach your dog, and also learn from your dog.
I believe this article has opened your eyes to some little things, that though they look small or negligible, they really matter in the successful training of a dog.
