| Re: Dog "challenging rank?" or just looking for attention
The "secret" to all of this is that you have to be more stubborn than the dog is! If he is on leash, it is physically not possible for him to "win" as he can be restrained from approaching the visitor and, should you stand on the leash near his collar when he is told to down, he isn't going to get up very far before you can correct him either.
Just remember to acknowledge and reward his successes! |
