By Taron Fox

Feeding is a good place to start when showing your puppy who is the dominant party, you should control his meal times keeping whenever possible to a set schedule to prepare his meals, make him wait for his food and take his bowl away when you feel he is done,this will show him that your in control and that he relies on you for his food.

Never play tug o war type games where your puppy can beat you, winning makes him feel in control and gives him a sense of leadership that could easily turn to aggression, as he grows older.

There are many ways in which a dog may start to believe that he is in a position of authority over you and your family, even if you show him that you are the pack leader he could turn his aggression toward your children as they are easier to dominate.
