Pack Leader

More excellent tips on becoming a great Pack Leader;
A Pack Leader doesn’t show any emotional or nervous energy, they are calm and assertive in their manner to influence the dogs around them.
Teach your dog to earn his rewards. This way he will see he must obey to your command in order to get what he wants – not that he will just get it because he wants it. In the wild a pack leader will eat first, the adults and puppies must wait their turn. In a dog’s mind, waiting is a form of work. When feeding, or rewarding your dog with a treat, make them sit and wait before giving it to them. If feeding their meal in a bowl, place it in front of them and teach them to wait for your command to eat it. If you find your dog is very high energy and has difficulty focusing during these tasks, take them for their walks before this time. This will help you to achieve the result you are wanting. Never reward your dog, whether it is with food or affection, until they have obeyed your command and are in a calm and submissive state.
