How do you see your relationship with your dog?
In many cases your dog will be a much loved member of the family, any thing from 10-16 years of your lifetime. We would not dream of sending our children into adulthood without a sound education, so why do many people assume that dogs are pre-programmed with good manners?
How dog's learn?
Liken your dog's brain to a computer - give it the correct information (or push the right button) and it will work like a dream. Give the wrong information and it will be confused or won't do as you ask. Your dog is just the same. How often do you hear an owner ask their dog (as they would a child) "sit down"? In fact, in our training we will be teaching the dog to sit and down, as separate exercises. If an owner were to use "sit down" the dog would be unable to do both at once. A dog learns through repetition and reward - show the dog how to do something, and when it does it, you reward (with praise and food.) Keep repeating the exercise, put a word to it, and very soon your dog will work it out for himself and you will need to show him less, with him doing more of the work for you.
What is your role as a dog owner?
Perhaps the answer to this question is two-fold.
A) THE HUMAN. The caring parent will provide food, grooming, shelter, exercise, veterinary care, play, training, fuss, attention, etc. This is the role that we, as humans think we owe to our dog.
B) The PACK LEADER. The dog is a pack animal. This is the way that he was created. Before he ever became a domestic pet he formed a place in his pack either by asserting his dominance or, gaining respect through his wisdom. When he moves into the "domestic" pack he needs to know where his place is in the pack (family). Your home is his den. You, your family and other animals are all part of the pack. Dogs have different temperaments and this, coupled with the attitude of the human and other members of the pack, will determine how the relationship between owner and dog will evolve. If your dog has a gentle temperament with no desire to promote his position in the pack, the relationship should be easy. However, if your dog is dominant and decides he is pack leader (the boss!!) and the humans are below him in his eyes, then this is where problems may arise.
