Your Dog Should Know That You Are The Master

 You are the dog master

Your dog should know that you are the master. He may be your pet but that is as far as he is to go. He has to obey your bidding. Your `yes’ is `yes’ for him and your `no’ means `no’ return he will get the security, love maintenance, and what –not at the master’s expense. He is not driven from pillar to post. He is not thrashed, kicked or ill-treated. He receives warm- hearted treatment, but all these are not for nothing.

 So from the very first keep the upper hand and do not lose it. One pitfall, the master should remember. The master keeps the pet for relaxation, also mainly for some medium through which or no whom the master can shower the flow of love and kindness. All animal souls like to lose themselves in love, love which is returned with unstinted devotion. The normal master keeps a pet top give his feelings an outlet. He can pat his pet as long as he likes. He thus gets his recreation, peace of mind, complacency.

 This is where the average master is mistaken. You keep a dog more as a security than as something on which to let your love flow. If you look at it as an object of love only, then forget everything, forget training, let the dog anything and get away with it, while you blindly transfer your love on him. It is like the episode I had read. One lady was so enamored of her dog that she let her dog chew her arm to bits so that it became irrevocably inactive.   

 So the first guidance to you as the master is that you should learn to have control on your feelings. You have to keep your head balanced. You have to bring up your dog, not love him out-of-bounds so as to spoil him. If you can train your dog, he will be obedient; he will be disciplined and well-mannered. That should give you the best satisfaction.
