Dogs are pack animals. There is always one leader in each pack, the original being the mother. Dogs are hard-wired to follow a leader and expect clear leadership in their human family. If they do not sense this clearly, they will assume the job, even unwillingly, which is necessary for their survival. This can result in bad behaviors, instability, and even neurosis.

The Confident K-9 will teach you to become that pack leader through proper communication, using body language, voice, energy, and touch. Dogs are in tune with these cues and depend on them. Remember, they do not verbalize. They pick up information that we miss.

You will learn to use your voice, body, eyes, and mental images in positive and negative ways, just as his mother did. Your dog will be happy and relieved that he doesn't have to take on the top job. You will learn how to fulfill him as a dog, not a human. This is the way to create balance and harmony.

A strong bond and foundation will be built which will minimize the potential for negative behaviors. He will seek out your approval and love. You will have a "confident canine" for years to come.
