We understand respect in human relationships, but it applies very similarly to your relationship with your canine companion. As much as humans can respect one another, that is similar to how a dog can respect you.<\/a> As much as you might love your dog and it loves you back, you may have difficulty getting it to obey you if it doesn’t respect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Respect is so important when it comes to dogs due to their biological origins. Dogs are descendants of wolves, which are pack animals. They always look for the pack leader, or the alpha dog<\/a>, and follow that animal’s lead. In some cases, your dog may see itself as the leader if you don’t take up that mantle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The love and respect of your furry pal are not mutually exclusive.
