Pack Animals I have always known that dogs were pack animals and that there is an alpha and then omegas.
I have learned something else recently though both by watching the Dog Whisperer, Casar Milan and by talking to Wallace Haven who owns the Puppy Haven Kennel.
These two men both make their livings by studying dog behavior and they both believe that dogs are happiest and most fulfilled when they live with a pack.
They say that the pack teaches them things that they cannot learn from humans. Things that make them more comfortable as dogs and allow them to be happier and less anxious in their defined roles.
So, when you need to rationalize why you need yet another dog, yorkie or otherwise, you can use the "pack" argument. LOL |
