How do I find out if my 2 german shepherds see me as the pack leader?
Full Question:
Hi,Sorry to bother you, but I have one question. How do I find out if my 2 German Shepherds see me as the pack leader? I've had them for 4 years now since they were 5 weeks old and immediately started training when they were old enough; Schutzhund, search. I sometimes get a feeling that they don't see me as the pack leader. I saw your sample video on pack leadership with the puppies and the bone. They are not aggressive towards people taking they're food away, but sometimes they don't listen when I tell them a command. It is like they're ignoring me and when I speak up loudly, they pull the ears back and come to me. Now and then this happens, but I just want to know How does someone tell when they see you as the leader? Thank you for your help and sorry for bothering you sir.
Cindy's Answer:
If your dogs don’t listen to you, then you aren’t viewed as a leader.
Think about how you behave when you are around someone who you respect and want to follow as a leader. That’s how our dogs act when they see US as the leader. They are respectful, attentive and compliant.
I’d advise you read our Groundwork program. This article will get you started on re-establishing the leadership that all dogs need.
