Many believe that a leader controls all the resources.

In other words, not only should you be in charge of when he eats, but you should also not give attention on demand and you should control other resources like toys and bones. Does this mean you limit attention, toys, food, etc? No, absolutely not. It means that you give them on your terms, not on the dogs.

This is the basis of the NILIF program. I'll post it below.
