The power of the human voice can make or break some dogs. How you command your dog is also a point to think about. Many men bellow out commands like old Marine DIs...PLATZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The dog falls out not from the ear pounding command, but from the garlic toast breath. Macho commanding voices are not really needed to make many dogs comply to our wishes. Good training, a good bond, and a good understanding of pack position can do the trick.

We often tell folks to "ask, command, and then demand" when giving your dog direction. If the dog has half a working brain, it will do the command because it wants to please. Nothing, not man or animal wants to live in a "walking on eggshells" life. Using a firm and directive voice many men can get their dogs to take direction. Most women get the same job done and have higher voices...

Writer's Note: Some men do through their genetic make up have sound restricting hearing. My point: "Honey, take out the trash." Erh, no response, and my point! As the cast iron pot rings home again!!!
