@tobysmom,
Dominance.
Who is your pack-leader?
Clearly not you.
And I NEVER 'train' my pack,. I teach them their limitations.
Sit, lay down, fetch, roll over = bollux!
The moment I become less than is expected of an alpha - They will take my place.
A dog thrives on its position in the pack - Give it one.
Dog-responses are instantaneous - Reaction is instant and over with thereafter.
As above, so below - They will treat you as you treat them - EXACTLY.
