Dogs are social creatures. And they like to feel that they
are part of a pack. They want to take part in the mission, character, and
territory of the pack. Pet owners should respect the dog’s need to belong in a
pack.
When the dog does not see a pack leader, he will feel scared and anxious. If there is no dominant pack leader, the dog will try to take over the role and be aggressive. They can even fight with other dogs just to get the lead role. If a dominant dog assumes the leadership role, he will be nervous and restless as he takes care of the group.
The pet owner should take over the pack leadership role. You will instill solidarity among the dogs. You will look after the welfare of the dogs, and find ways to protect them. You are also expected to participate in the pack’s activities.
The dog becomes confident when he sees a pack leader. Show a lively interaction between dogs and humans. Take the pack out for a regular walk.
If you have concerns about your pet health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your veterinary clinic Sarasota, FL.
