I teach and talk to them like humans...I know thats out there but they seem to listen and under stand. I have always loved dogs since I was a boy. I learn from them and they learn from me. I have never had one not like me. I believe they can sense a humans inner being. I study and learn about the dogs and all kinds of animals I will be around. That being said i will read up on the type of breed and that will show him I respect him and understand him or her. I will be the alpha but we will be a pack . The animals I come in contact with are always praised when the do good thins and rewarded.
