How Never To Behave Around Your Dog

Cesar Milan has written an interesting blog post on 5 ways never to behave around your dog. Here are 3 ways that especially stood out for us:

• Never project weak energy.
  Instead: Be confident. A dominant dog will have its head up, chest forward, ears up, and tail stiff. As a human pack leader, you should follow suit: Stand up straight and hold your head high!
  
• Never let yourself get too worked up.
  Instead: Be balanced. In the animal world, overly excited, fearful, and anxious individuals are never considered leaders. Pack members must trust their leaders, and that requires balanced energy.


• Never pick and choose when you discipline.
  Instead: Be consistent.
  Inconsistent reinforcement of the rules leads to inconsistently obedient pack members, so pack leaders make the rules and stick to them!

We say these apply just as well to human to human interaction, don't you think so? ;-)
