The way I see it, Sam is the pack leader in his den. He's working pretty hard at it because, he believes, there is no other pack leader there. You need take your authority back from him and food can be the best motivator for obedience for dominating dogs. First, make him earn his food by obeying simple commands. If he doesn't obey, take away his food until he's willing to obey. But make him EARN his food. Then - commands have some "meat" behind them - pun intended! Why should he obey you now? Disobedience is more fun! |
