Question:

March 30,2002
Hello,
I greatly appreciate this! I just got a 9 week old puppy and we are working on housebreaking but, my question is with establishing dominance over the puppy. I had a 2 year old male dog for a short time. (from the humane society) I had trouble establishing the alfa male role with him he would not take any correction or instruction with out a struggle. (He is no longer with us) I don't want to go through this again! So, how do I start early so, he knows who is boss? I am the main one who takes care of him and spend the most time with him. I have three children and my husband is very busy so the position needs to be mine.

Thank you,
Cyndie
