Alpha dog is top dog, the leader of the pack. Dog's natural habitat is to live in packs where there is always a leader. A dog regards their human family as their pack, since their human family is all they know. You must ALWAYS be alpha dog. The animals will naturally fit into their alpha order of the family once the leader has been established. Again the leader must always be you or another adult human member of the family. If you do not establish your place as alpha dog, the dog will never be able to be trained/controlled. Dogs are like little kids--if you let them get away with anything and never establish who's the boss--you end up with uncontrollable, spoiled, bratty children. Same thing with dogs, except you end up with uncontrollable, spoiled, bratty dogs. |
