1 The number one way to communicate to a dog that you are his pack leader is to take him for a walk. 2  Not the type of walk most humans take their dogs on but a pack walk, where the dog is made to heel beside or behind the human who is holding the lead. During the time you are establishing your higher pack position, no hugs should be given to the dog by you, as a dominant dog may consider this a challenge of power. 2  To a dog in a dominant frame of mind eye contact is a challenge. 3  Whoever averts his gaze first loses.
Starting for the moment the puppy is born they are constantly exploring their boundaries and relationships while trying to find their place in the pack. A dominant dog, no doubt, thinks he/she is above the owner in the pack. In some cases the dog KNOWS he/she is higher in rank. This is dangerous! Somewhere, probably in many different places, the owner hasn't properly structured the pack which leads the dog to believe that the pack-lead position is open for try outs.
