Parenting Tips from....
Have you ever watched The Dog Whisperer? I don't have a dog yet, but I always find it interesting to watch the way he commands attention from animals as soon as he walks in the room/yard. The "Whisperer" always gives the instruction that you MUST become the Alpha Dog in order to rule, otherwise they will "rule the roost" or doghouse. Consistency is also a huge factor. I'm great with horses. My aunt taught me well that they can feel your fear so you better let them know who is boss from the start! Well, the other night as I was watching his show I realized that I could learn a lot about parenting my 5 and 8 year old Alpha Dog CHILDREN from him. In fact I think he is much better than Nanny 911! After I tackle being a parent, then maybe I can move onto a yellow lab!
