[QUOTE="lollo1, post: 2649246, member: 896867"] Ok so I make sure the dog knows that I am the Alpha, the pack leader. I know this is necessary so that her instincts are in check and she doesn't become confused/stressed. My question is, how does this pack mentality relate to other people? I don't exactly own the dog, my parents do and they are stubborn and don't really care about "instincts" and if my dog begs for food, they will give it to her. How does this affect my dog's pack mentality? Will it ruin the Alpha relationship that I have with her? Because my parents are unwilling to change, is it OKAY for my dog to be above them in the pack order? Because they WONT change. I am the only one that walks her so heeling isn't an issue, it's just my parents feeding her. I don't feed her when she begs, I only give her a treat when I see fit. She knows I'm the Alpha and that I am above her but how does her interacting with the other people in my house affect the relationship she has with me? [/QUOTE]
