Your dog’s language—let’s call it Doglish—does not consist of thoughts, statements, reasoning, or contemplation. Doglish consists of momentary choices and quick inter- pretations. Your dog relies on three vehicles for communication: eye con- tact, body language, and tone.
Eye Contact
Similar to human beings, dogs naturally look to their leaders for direction.The leader of the group is always kept within sight.The first question to ask yourself is: are you looking to your dog more than she is looking to you? If so, your dog may be interpreting your atten- tion as a need for leadership. During the next 24 hours, write down all the times you catch yourself looking at your dog.
Your dog is focused on your face most of the time. She knows when you look at her and will remember how to get your attention. If you look at her when she is behaving well, she’s likely to repeat those positive behaviors. Remember the phrase “You get what you look at.” Focus on your dog when she is behaving well.
