Leadership in Dog Training

My family just got a new puppy after losing our dog not even a year ago.  Although it has been had saying goodbye to our dog Samson, Troy has been a good asset to the Cheuvront family.  However, we have to start from scratch and train him in all different ways.  In order to train a puppy, leadership roles are necessary.  We have to remain firm and in charge as we are telling him not to bite.  We also have to enforce rules such as not using the bathroom in the house.  If we do not remain in a leadership role, the puppy will ignore us and never fully be the trained dog we want him to become someday.  As a group, my family is coming together to form a group of leaders as we train our puppy.  Leadership does not always include only one person.  Sometimes, leadership involves a group of people all working to one set goal, which is to train our puppy.  It might not always be easy, but training our puppy is a lot of time and work and together, as leaders, we can help Troy become the well-trained dog we know he can be.
