Dogs are social animals and need to establish a hierarchy in a group. If the owner misunderstands the dog's intentions or blindly allows it to do whatever it wants, then in the dog's eyes, it becomes a human leader and of course it will not obey its owner. Ordered. This will cause some trouble for the owner.

Let’s take a look at the following short story:

Li Lan has a large dog named Bart. When she sits on the sofa, Bart often puts his paws on her knees and looks directly at Li Lan. So, Li Lan patted its head lovingly. After that, Bart would jump on the sofa and sit next to her. Li Lan would see the way Bart snuggled up and thought it was cute, so she would pat her head again. At this time, Bart would lean closer and hold her close. The pressure was so uncomfortable that she had to make more room for Bart, and finally she had to stand up and give up the sofa to Bart.

This situation often happened. Li Lan was so crowded that she couldn't do it on the sofa and couldn't even watch TV. She felt very distressed, but she didn't want to drive Bart away for fear of hurting Bart's feelings. However, Li Lan's approach actually misunderstood Bart's meaning.

Analyzing from the perspective of dog psychology, a dog jumping on its back, pushing forward or looking directly at its owner are all dominant gestures. When a dog puts its paws on its owner's knees, it means: "You are under my rule." If it looks directly at its owner, it is a means of showing its authority. Many owners understand that the dog is expressing its love for the owner. If the owner pats it gently at this time, it means to the dog, "Yes, I am humble and I obey your leadership."

According to Li Lan's situation, when Bart puts his paws on her legs and looks directly at her, she should say to Bart sternly: "Go down and sit tight!", and if Bart follows the command, she should caress him. Or give other rewards, or provide toys or dog chews for Bart to relieve his boredom. In this way, the above embarrassing situation will not occur.

So how to establish the authority of the owner? The best learning period for dogs is the puppy stage from March to June. The owner should start training during this period. The method is as follows:

1. Do not allow the puppy to jump on its back or push in front of it, do not push the dog away or shout, just walk away and ignore it.

2. Feed the puppy after the whole family has finished eating.

3. Put your hand in the dog bowl while the dog is eating.

4. Let the puppy wait for everyone to go out before being the last one to go out.

5. Make your puppy sit or obey other commands before giving it pleasure such as food, hugs, walks or play.
