crave in your life, apply these techniques from the Dog Whisperer and put yourself and

your dog into the right relationship. You will need Dog and time. Step 1. Establish

your role as leader. Always use a calm, assertive voice when speaking to your dog. Dogs will

try to become dominant if you show signs of weakness. Step 2. Maintain balance by fulfilling

the dog's physical, psychological, and emotional needs. Step 3. Begin each day with exercise.

Keep a consistent routine. A 45-minute walk every morning is a great way to start the

day for you and your four-legged pal. Step 4. Don't give free affection -- make the dog

work for it. He must obey all your rules and commands first. Step 5. Take time off of training

so your dog can relax and enjoy being a dog -- the way nature intended. Step 6. Remember

that dogs are not human and that they view the world differently. Dogs communicate with

their noses, their eyes, and lastly their ears. Realizing these differences will enable

you to have a deeper relationship with your four-legged friend. Did you know Cesar Millan
