What is also important, in the house, make sure any interaction is done on your terms, so if your dog approaches you without your invitation, push them away or move away yourself. Then when you do invite them over, give a small piece of food. This will help you a great deal once you are out on a walk.
Have warmth in your voice when you are inviting them to you, rather than a stern command, they are your friends after all and you want them to want to be with you so make it fun!
Of course all of the above will be strengthened by learning the Amichien® Bonding method, enabling your dog to elect you overall decision maker. |
