Job Opening for Confident Leader

Is this an ad your dog has placed on Craig’s List or CareerBuilder?  Are they looking for someone to be in charge so they can relinquish the responsibility?  Are they acting out and resisting your instruction?

Maybe your dog isn’t yet savvy enough to post such an ad, but if you have a dog, there is the need for a confident leader…is it you?  If not, who is it?   In the words of Cesar Millan, dogs need and respect a calm, assertive leader.

My dogs need to be reminded at times that the position of leader has been filled, and it just so happens that in our home the job belongs to the only one who walks on two legs.  I thought since they need to be reminded, maybe you do to.

The primary purpose and goal of my work as a trainer/behaviorist, is to show humans who their dog is and what they are capable of learning.  Don’t wait for your dogs to fill the position of leader. Most people fill some position in their life where they lead another.  It may take practice, but put yourself in that mindset as you provide (calm, assertive) guidance for your dog.

They may resist at first, but with consistent behavioral expectations from you, they will respect you and remove the job opening!
