Often we hear a variety of discussion when it comes to the origin of our best friend, the dog. For a long time it was heard and is still talking to the dog originated from the wolf. Is that really true? There are several terms that speak on the pack leader, and we will include them in this article.
Different Definitions of Alpha Dog
First some definitions of remorse to be benevolent leader who teaches your dog the rules to be followed and provides support and guidance to his dog. We teach your dog to behave , to know what may and what may not work in the house/apartment. The second concept is somewhat different when the owner believes his dog was part of the " pack" , and the owner has to play the role of " alpha " as he ensured that his dog does not take the status, the primacy of the household . This means that it is necessary to introduce the "rules of the pack " in order to ensure the lead owner, and how man is not a dog or a wolf, but homo sapiens , the role of " alpha " it is not natural and therefore the rules which he then establishes a very inconsistent and unclear. The studies that have been conducted over the last few years , totally debunked the myth that our dogs are part of the pack with people , which is constantly trying to reach higher ranking . Just because a dog is descended from wolves, does not mean you have to treat it as if it is a wolf.
The Leader of the Pack or Something Else
However, the scenario of pack leader still continues to be the main topic of debate between handler and dog behaviorists, those who are advanced together with science and started using positive training methods, and those who did not. Unfortunately, television is not at all helped to promote these new methods to the general public, that the target group - the owners. Instead, we still have one and the same scenario and the leader and the pack. After all, if something is on television, then it must be true right? This way of thinking, the most harmful to dogs, believe it or not. Many owners today use harsh methods pack leader with the use of choke collar, electric collar,alpha role, technique, flooding. The belief that the use of modern techniques of dressage. But these methods have been present since ancient days, and before popular idea of Dog Whisperer have already been assessed as very harmful and unpleasant to dogs.
What it means to be the leader of the pack?
Primarily , overturning a dog on the side or back - where one-hand push the his chest to the floor , a second turn his head away from us , how he could not establish eye contact . This is not the way in which the dog subordinates. In fact, we're an open invitation " to fight." If a dog wants to put in a subordinate position to the other dog or owner , he do it willingly , and certainly not physically forced to do so. When two dogs get into a fight , a dog can throw another dog on earth with the intent to inflict serious injury , but a dog that is on earth , not because there is subverted , but because they are struggling. If the dog shows subjugation, he done to avoid conflict. It is a natural instinctive behavior , which does not require any physical manipulation by another dog or owner. But if the dog by force compelled to do it and be inhibited , then he will be forced to release from that position in their own way - or will rebel and try to bite or owner will reluctantly accept the resulting situation, but on the so is "subordinated". Alfa roles do not reflect the natural behavior of the dog, as if the owner of the use of force pushed the dog on the floor, he does not show his dominance, because the dog does not show his submission. The owners knew that cause conflict. This alpha role is not the way the dogs, including wolves, communicate with each other.
The Main Task of the Alpha Animals
The primary role of alpha males and females is to provide a strong seed, and they are referred to as "a pair of parent". The female will never mate with another male, except alpha, which in dogs is not the case. The wolf pack is made up of members of one family - they are social, and all cooperate in hunting, raising cubs and guarding their territory. Size of the pack is determined by the number of wolves that can be linked and together form a single unit. Alpha does not always eat first, even though it keeps telling owners to work as well, to do the wolves. In fact, the alpha male in most cases not even be there when the other wolves catch prey, and then it is absurd to assume that the other wolves sit quietly next prey, and wait for the "alpha" appears to take the first bite.
