Hi,
This morning at 6am going around the garden using a plastic bag over my hand to pick up our puppies crap, which was more than a dozen as he is still a puppy and poo's about 6 times a day. At the time he was locked up in the house as he makes a game of bitting and pulling the plastic bags when I am cleaning up, and that is not such a fun game concidering the contents in the bag. While doin this I had the following thought......
Does my puppy really think that I am the alpha dog?!
I walk through door entrances first
I decide when to feed him
I ignore him when he is being naughty
On rare occassions I isolate him when he is extremely naughty
I sleep on the 'higher ground'
He gets his toys when I decide to give them to him
He gets cuddled when I want to cuddle him
BUT THEN....THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRUTH
I do all of the above and more, BUT, I will always be the one picking up his crap (both hot and cold ones)!!
I can just imagine his thoughts about who the alpha dog really is as he watches me through the window picking up his crap one by one, day by day!
