How to be the alpha (even if you’re a woman)





Going back thousands of years dogs evolved from wild wolves. While today’s modern canine makes a great family pet, they still retain many characteristics from the past. One of these is what is known as “pack mentality” passed down from their forefathers, the wild wolf. It is important for you to be the alpha male with your dog so he or she knows you are in charge. It does not matter what your sex is: follow these guidelines and you WILL be the Alpha!

Alpha male with your dog

Packs of wolves had one dominant male who was known as the Alpha male, and all other wolves in the pack were submissive to him. Modern dogs are also pack oriented animals, and when in a family environment with humans they will try to dominate unless you establish in no uncertain terms you are the alpha male with your dog. Many dog owners are unaware that their dog or dogs view their human family and fellow dogs as their pack. If you do own more than one dog you have already witnessed this alpha male trait as one of your dogs is “in charge” of what the other dogs do. On the next level is this question: does this dog know you are in charge of him and the other dogs? Unless this is clearly understood by this dominant dog there is going to be chaos around your home.

Let’s look at few common things you can do to establish you are the top dog or alpha male with your dog. These are everyday things most of us do not give a second thought to, but your dog is learning from them. Who eats first, you and your family or your dog? Wolf packs know the alpha dog eats first and then the rest of the pack dines. Avoid the habit of feeding your dog just because he or she is bugging you as you prepare dinner for your family.

When out for walks do you allow the dog to pull you in the direction he wants to go? If so this needs to stop as you train your dog he is going to go where you decide. As explained in an article on DogBreedInfo.com:

The number one way to communicate to a dog that you are his pack leader is to take him for a walk. 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. This is most important for all dogs, as in a dog’s mind, the leader always leads the way.
