Raising a Puppy: Who's the Boss?
Raising a puppy can be as challenging as raising a child. The silver lining? No need for diapers! However, without proper training, you might find yourself dodging little "land mines" around the house.
If your dog ends up having puppies, it's a different scenario compared to a teenage pregnancy. While puppies can even be sold, human parenting comes with its own set of moral dilemmas.
Caring for a puppy is similar to raising a child. In fact, it can be a great way to prepare for future parenting. Both require responsibility, although parenting a child involves more. Raising a puppy helps you develop those essential skills.
Just like with children, you’d want your dog to be a reliable and loving companion. This requires understanding that effective training and the right owner attitude are key. One of the first steps is establishing that you are the leader.
Dogs view their owners as part of a pack, and every pack has an alpha. The alpha is the leader, the one who commands respect and ensures order.
It’s important to establish yourself as the alpha while your dog is still young. Failure to do so may result in behavioral problems as your puppy might try to assert dominance.
You wouldn’t want your puppy growing up into a little tyrant, taking over your space or dictating your schedule. Worse, they might even become aggressive.
To assert your role as the leader, you don’t need to resort to physical aggression. There are peaceful ways to demonstrate your dominance.
Dogs are generally happier when they understand their position in the hierarchy. They derive security and confidence from following a leader.
To establish yourself as a strong leader, use a calm, steady voice, reward good behavior, and stay calm in situations that might stress your dog. Encourage your puppy to take a submissive posture to reinforce your leadership role.
Some may find these tactics too stern, but they are effective. Like raising a child, it's about showing respect and leadership. Once this phase is complete, you and your dog will enjoy a wonderful relationship.
