Does your dog keep blocking your way?
Little and big dogs will deliberately block
your way to prove they’re in charge of you. Each time they do this they win 5
points. They will stand, wsit or lie in your way. They will walk slowly right
in front of you so you’re forced to slow down to their snail pace. Some dogs
like to walk slowly in front of you car as you’re driving into your driveway –
again so they slow down your pace to obedient speed.
Dominant dogs are also clever at getting
you to step over them or around them. They love lying across doorways so you
have to step over them or edge around them. Polite humans are great to win
these sorts of points from.
Solution: Raise your chin up nice and high and haughty, fold your arms, act
very aloof and march straight through your dog as though it doesn’t exist.
Ignore any squeaks or yelps. If your dog is having a surge of dominance and
won’t stop getting in your way, tie it up on a mat in the corner of the room
and ignore it for a while.
