How to Teach Your Wolf (or Dog) Who's Boss

This will work on any breed who wants to, or tries to be, the Alpha in your home.

I have currently have 2 Wolfdogs and have raised & trained Dobermans and Golden Retrievers, besides being a foster home for local shelters and animal groups for the last 35 years.

I've found this to be a fool proof way to tell your hound, just who the boss is....YOU!

At any time, your animal gets out of hand, and seems to not want to listen, bites at any part of your body, etc., just do this technique.

The natural instincts of your dog will kick in and you will become the Alpha, letting your dog know who the boss is! I've never had a problem with any of my dogs after I used this!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• No fear of your animal!
• Extended length heavy grade leather glove.

1. Using your hand, grab your animal around his throat firmly, taking special care not to put excess force on his windpipe!

2. Push your animal down to the ground, keeping constant eye contact!

3. Hold your animal on the ground for a minimum of 30 seconds. If he attempts to struggle, tighten your grip, and hold him down longer.

4. When you are certain that he has quit struggling and has calmed down, let him get up, then immediately give him a command, any command. Sit or heel are great. It will insure that you are the dominant, or Alpha, of your household.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are unsure of your dogs character regarding this technique, and are in any way afraid of getting bit, put a long, heavy grade leather glove on the hand you will be using. Although this has never happened to me, the possibility could arise.
• DO NOT attempt this proceedure if you are in any way afraid of your animal!
• If you are afraid, or do not have the strength, ask another member of your family or someone else the animal is familiar with, to help you.
• If your animal does bite you, seek medical attention immediately!
