Most people understand that dogs are a pack animal that likes to live in a group. The dog instinctively understands the advantages of being in a pack and has social instincts that it can express within a group. In this context, a new dog or puppy that comes into your home is joining your pack and sees you or the head of the family as the pack leader. The dog looks to the pack leader for guidance and how to behave. It accepts that this is the pack leaders job and that the rules that are laid out are to be followed or it will be disciplined by the leader. This is what obedience training is all about. It is a way of teaching your dog the rules of the pack and the way to behave in the wider community. And your dog wants to learn these skills that you have to teach.

It also takes time and consistency to get your message across to your dog. Eventually they lose the will to enforce the rules they have leaid down and the dog becomes confused. However it is important to teach your dog and ensure that he understands them. Here are the key skills that your dog should know so that you can control it and it can live safely in the human world.
