Re: just a post about a very dominent dog

Of course some dogs are dominent over humans. Generally thats when you get dogs that bite because they don't know their propper place in the pack. I do know what i'm talking about and i know he isn't a happy dog which is why i wanted some tips on how to make him happy.
He thinks that he has to look after us and guard the house and this is why he follows everybody around and will only settle when everybody is in the same room. It's also why he barks whenever somebody walks past the house, posts a letter or knocks on the door.
If he thought that i was the "leader" then he wouldn't be so concerned about where we are and what we are doing because we take up that responsibility.

My other dog knows that she dosent have to look after us, we look after her. She knows her place and she is a very happy and relaxed dog. But the reason for this is because i have had her from a very young pup and has always known her place, Mack has never known this and always just been shut in the kitchen until he came to us and he dosen't understand tha he doesn't need to be worried about protecting his territory/pack.

I know alot about dog behaviour because i adore wolves and know their behaviour, a dog is basically a wolf. They live in a pack and they need to know their hierachy otherwise they will be out of balance and confused.

I just need to know how to change the fact tht he thinks he has to look after us.
