Dog Whisperer Week: Tips For You Pack Leaders
December 26, 2007
Greg Chapman - Research
Being that National Geogrpahic Channel is in the middle of Dog Whisperer Week, I thought that it might be a good idea to pass along more of Cesar's tips to all you pack leaders out there.

Bored dogs are problem dogs. Brisk morning walks prevent behavioral problems during the day. |
| |
Learn the art of the walk: head up, relaxed leash, with the dog next to you not ahead of you. |
| |
The dog park is great for socialization, but don’t let it be the dog’s only source of exercise. |
| |
Confident owners can help dogs get over what frightens them using calm, assertive energy. |
| |
Tired dogs are better behaved dogs! Two 40-minute walks a day help burn off excessive energy. |
| |
Got a pushy pooch? Teach him good manners. Don’t touch or look at him until he is calm & submissive. |
| |
Dogs’ fears are often human-induced. Help them by replacing a scary association with a positive experience. |
| |
Dogs help us grow emotionally and psychologically. |
Check back in tomorrow for more helpful hints straight from the Dog Whisperer.

Great advice! I agree with your suggestion of bringing the dogs to the park and have them meet other dogs. I found that Donovan is much more behaved on his own, and I attribute some of that to his interaction with other dogs at the park.
Thanks for the helpful tips!

Hi Cesar!!!
My name is Gina Olson. I am 10 years old. I got my first dog about 4 weeks ago. Shes a little Dachshund. And I noticed that she is a little toy aggressive. But I all ready know how to handle that. So yeah, anyway, she is also a little dog aggressive because, I think its because she was in a puppy mill for the first 8 years of her life, but I am not vary sure. Also she tends to stop in the middle of a walk. And that gets REALLY iritating. Do you have any tips for me? If you do, just email me!!!!!

Hi -I just rescued a boxer/shep mix from a Puppy Mill. He is 10 weeks old. He is a wonderful pup except he fears the crate when I put him in there. I have 2 adult Rottweilers as well. I have him in the crate at night and he screams for all but an hour. He goes in the crate if the door is open and he seems happy. I went in the crate with him to make it a fun place. I have to crate him during the day as well since I work. What can I do to calm him and show him he is okay. He is very smart and does well on the leash. I am concerned for his mental right now due to he gets himself hysterical. Thanks so Much....
