Leadership Rules That Show Your Dog Who Is The Leader




Great Dane and Chihuahua

Leaders go through doorways first. This is also a safety issue.

Leaders stay calm and in control.

Leaders set the pace and direction. (heeling).

Leaders do not let their personal space be invaded.

Leaders say when play begins and ends.

Leaders do not beg for attention. (repeating commands).

Leaders never change their direction or step over the dog.

Leaders assign resting spots for other pack members.
