 alpha
I come by it naturally!!! LOL
I call it "alpha confusion" when they forget I am the pack leader... A momentary lapse of memory! LOL
Remember, I had a breeding group, but the trainer said it works with one or more...
I was told, you as the human must be thought of a Pack Leader..one hard rule was, no sleeping with them. I noticed mine would sleep on my pillow, over my head...trainer said the alpha dog sleeps in the highest most position...Okay, I stopped sleeping with my pet Yorkies.. never allow them to enter or leave the house first..okay..no problem.
You have to have an assertive posture, firm voice, feed them the same time each day and no free feeding, they must depend on you for food and look to you for it.
Now, I have 3 or 4 pets at any given time and none fight, but I still try to enforce the rules to prevent problems. I admit to spoiling my pets and they are such sweethearts..but having a few who did not get along was very difficult in the past...and do not want it now.
If you can invision this scene...I used to walk around the kennel and give a lecture about once a week, then say..."you want a piece of me" and look them in the face...all those sweet little angels would sit wide eyed and try to give me kisses....but a few cocky ones took note I am sure. LOL |
