Author: Eric Letendre If you want to learn about dog behavior, all you have to do is watch them interact with each other.Here is what you can learn from watching dogs: 1. Dogs love to play and interact with one another. 2. There is an obvious social structure within a group of dogs. Brandy, my pitbull, is the at the top of the pack. She is not aggressive but she definitely gets what she wants. 3. They communicate through body language. 4. They exhibit their emotions - you can tell when your dog is scared, happy, angry, etc. When you train your dog you should make it fun. The more fun you have training, the chances of you and your dog being successful are much higher. Become the pack leader. Your dog needs to understand that you are the leader. This is accomplished by controlling the activities that are important to your dog. Control the games, control the food, control the sleeping areas, and control the social contact between you and your dog. Learn to use your body language when you are interacting with your dog. Pay attention to your dog when you are training. You can tell when your dog is stressed. That is a great time to take the pressure off. Spend a few minutes just playing with your dog. If you have a dog park or dog daycare in your area and have the opportunity to watch your dog play with others, it really is a lot of fun and you can learn a lot. |
