ALL THINGS TAMi

I will update this... right now I'm working on my new twitter background and some other projects.

Many things could be applied to "life".

BE THE PACK LEADER!

For a well balanced, happy dog--no matter what breed it is, follow these tips:

Leaders go first. Make your dog wait at every door and gate (including the car) until you allow the dog to go through it. Make sure YOU go out the door first. Use the word "wait" and then a release word.

Leaders eat first. You and your family eats first,then you feed the dog.BUT not at the table.

Leaders control food. If the dog gets to eat anytime he likes, he's the leader-he is Tha Alpha. No self feeding.

Leaders get the best spots.Do not let the dog on your funiture.Including your bed. He can come only if you invite him.Once or twice a week is plenty,until he knows his place.

Leader has the highest place to sit or lay down.When you have a problems with your dog do not let him be higher then you are.Do not sit on the floor and your dog is lounging on your sofa.Wrong! Let him be on the floor next to your leg and you sit on the sofa.

Leader can go where ever he wants and the dog must get out of his way.There should not be ANY resistance on his part. He should move away quickly, if not just run right into him.

Leaders get to see tummies and genitals. Submisive gesture for dog is to expose his stomach and genitals to Alpha dog . You can use a tummy rub for that purporse.

Leaders stand tall. When playing make sure you put your hand (paw) or head on your dogs back or put your chin on his head,do not let him do same to you.If your dog is misbehaving ...stand up...... be tall..do not bend over..

Leader can stare.If you look at your dog do not avert your eyes first - wait till he does.Check on this ,you will be amazed how many times you look at your dog and how quickly you avert your eyes not even thinking about it.

Leader can take the toys and keep them.

Leader does not play TUG of Wars.

Leader does not chase members of his pack. Do not chase your dog,rather let him run after you.

Leader is fair and benevolent,not cruel.

Leader = Alpha inspires security,confidence and happiness in souls of his pack members.
