Interchangeable Relationships

For decades we have been provided information on dog relationships that mimics or mirror wolves. We refer to dogs as “pack animals” or “alphas” based on this misconception. What if I were to tell you there is no alpha in dogs? This would be hard to believe because when we look at behavior with those misconceptions it is easy to believe one dog is being “alpha” over the other. Domestication of dogs have created fluid relationships between dogs.

I challenge you to look a little closer. What you will notice is that your dog may growl or challenge your other dog for the couch but would have no care about that dog taking his toy. The other dog may show “alpha” characteristics when food is present but will happily share his bed. In reality these are not “alpha” behaviors, these are just how your dog values certain resources. These relationships are interchangeable depending on the resource. Dogs are social animals. They just like people, are always working on a currency of exchanges. When you understand what your dog values it will help you to determine why the behavior is happening.

What does your dog value?

Never punish the growl…

It can be extremely alarming and hurtful to hear your dog growl at you or a family member. An immediate reaction would be to yell at the dog. Punishing the growl creates this concern:

Growling is the last form of communication (see chart below) before biting occurs. Punishing the growl will stop the growling but by removing that form of communication you substantially increase the odds of your dog biting.

Think of growling as a smoke alarm. It’s there to protect you and your loved ones when all other communication has been missed with your dog.

It’s important to learn and understand how dogs communicate. Adhering to the early signs of communication will eliminate the growl and potential risks of your dog biting.
