Clear roles for you and your dog

Your role as the “boss” must be clear to your dog. Also his or her role must also be clear. Some basic tips:

• You can give him/her food, after you have finished yours.
  
• Before s/he is aloud to eat you need to say it is OK.
  
• If s/he doesn’t finish the whole meal at once then the food must be taken away until the next meal.
  
• Don’t allow your dog to sleep on your bed, or other furniture that you use.
  
• The dog should not be allowed into your bedroom, or even your kitchen.
