gnasher16 29,834 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I think that pack leader stuff is a load of ol bollocks a dogs mind has evolved so much over time they would have to be pretty dumb to see us as a member of their pack !..........They are just pleased to see their pal thats all......be it a stroke/food/walk/work.......they know attention is coming their way and a need will be met. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 My youngster smiles and chatters her teeth when she sees me she is so excited ... They all have their way of showing their pleasure .......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Huan72 687 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 All that stuff about the dominant pack leader and the countless "kiss my fanny" dog owners screaming out orders is totally flawed. A natural dominant leader in the dog world is calm, it really has the "don't need to prove" anything attitude. Most dogs, like people are not natural leaders and dogs develop behavuoral issues when the owner makes them make decisions that they would rather not make, through bad ownership. I think dogs are just plain pleased to see you, their friend is back....................do not believe all that stuff about dominating your dog, nothing worse than seeing a dog on a long training lead with commands being screamed out ten to the dozen, mixed up with the occasional miss timed whistle blow...........it just confuses the hell out of the dog. My dog really is my best friend. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
