The chapters begin with a vignette of wolf behavior showing the importance of having leaders and a specific aspect of canine leadership. The authors then switch to pet dogs, using as an example a dog with the cute name of Bobo. Here are their key tenets:
- Eat before Bobo.
- Sleep higher than Bobo.
- Initiate and control interactions.
- Go first, not last.
- Control all space in the home.
- Maintain a dominant posture.
- Begin and end play.
- Be fair, calm, and confident.
- Be a good provider and protector.
We do well on some of these but need to work on others. I found this book to be very instructive.
