Tom Baker and Sophie Aldred appear in one of threefull-cast BBC radio dramas based around the real-life worlds of Doctor Who.Doctor Who, the TV series which millions adore, is the inspiration for these three original radio plays. Presented in their entirety, they each focus on the effect which the programme has had on the lives of ordinary – and some extraordinary – people.

Why Rules, Boundaries and Limitations are Key

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

A person who decided to be a pet dog owner thought that sharing their lives with their pet mutt is easy as pie. Pet dog owning is more than following law regulations and requirements for pet owning. Neither is responsible pet owning measured by how much cool stuff your pet dog has. Pet owners, future and present, must understand that keeping your pet healthy and balanced is the main thrust of dog owning.

To be able to fulfill that responsibility to your pet dog, a pet owner sets rules, limitations and boundaries which your pet dog has to live with. To make this possible, we have learned that dogs are ruled by their ‘pack mentality’. Knowing the frame of mind of every dog in the world is the first step for universal respect and deeper connection between owner and pet.

You are a pet owner, that makes you the ‘pack leader’ and it is expected of you to be “calm-assertive” leaders. Being a “calm-assertive” leader, it is expected of you NEVER to project: nervousness, panic and tension. Since pet owning is never confined to a particular gender, so a ‘pack leader’ can be either a man or woman or neuter. Never let your gender affect your being the “calm-assertive” entity you are in your dog’s life.

Communication with your pet dog can be likened to dance choreography where no words need pass through anyone just the energy and movement. Your pet dog is led to correct behavior through your pack leadership. Correct behavior is the result of your asserting calm control over your pet dog or dogs. The ability to handle multiple dogs is possible when a pet owner understands and fully appreciates their role as “pack leader”. An effective calm-assertive energy results when the rest of the pack responds in a calm-submissive energy. In the exchange of energy, a pack achieves its balance.

Consider the basic learning cycle of a puppy from the womb until 8 weeks; even before they are born pups are sensitive to touch. Once out of the womb, pups get to be sensitive to smell even before they are able to see anything. A mother dog with several blind pups about, assumes and retains control over the litter by setting limitations, boundaries and rules. Pups are reprimanded and corrected by the mother’s calm-assertiveness, showing no favors and no patience to unwanted behavior. As the pups grow, they are still under the mother dog’s control, and never exempt from corrections in form of nips, growls or aggressive stance by the mother. All corrections vary in intensity, but all is centered to the retention of ‘pack leadership’ of the dam over her pups.

To understand your pet dog, you must accept that it is and always be an animal. Human psychology does not work on pet dogs, no confirmations of any theories were affirmed by pets that had undergone “treatment”. By nature, a mechanism called ‘pack mentality’ is innate in all dog breeds. Pack dynamics are nature’s fail-safe guide to the development and adult lives of pet dogs. Pet dogs that have no calm-assertive pack leader to guide it become unstable and difficult to live with.

As humans, understanding pack dynamics is easy and we possess the ability to replicate it on our pet dogs. Treating your pet dog using this enables us to connect with our pets on a primal level.

Do away with the urge to cuddle your pet out of the blue, if you care for your pet. Being the pack leader in your pets eyes has no pause button. A pack leader shows a calm-assertive manner to pet dogs 24/7. Feeding and sharing affection with your pet may be done AFTER your pet’s mind has become calm-submissive. Calm assertiveness is not effective without calm submissiveness. If your dogs ignores you or rarely exhibits submissiveness means your role as a pack leader is not established. A pet dog with an attitude problem basically does not see a proper pack leader. Once a pet dog is in this situation, it will try to be the pack leader. Being aware of your role as the pets pack leader will save pet owners on pet accessories that promise an obedient dog.

Your pup has always been ‘calm submissive’ by its mother’s training and control. The dam has an overall authority to dictate when the pups can wander away from the den, when it is time to eat, when they must walk and when rough play is enough.

By establishing a “do and don’t” system the mother dog has set the standard ‘pack leadership’ the pups are used to. Keep this in mind as you get to see your pup for the first time, project a ‘calm-assertive’ manner for the pup to recognize you as the new pack leader.
