      Figure 1

      Believe it or not, your dog’s DNA is 98.5% that of the grey wolf. Given this incredibly high percentage, although your dog is domesticated, it shares 98.5% of its DNA with that of a wild animal. This should demand immediate respect for this proud and graceful creature. Take a moment to digest this information. Your pet is a proud canine whose essential nature is to be running free, to be part of a social pack and to have a purpose. As a dog owner, you have a responsibility to fulfil this amazing creature’s every need, and to honour and respect its true essence. By purchasing this Manual you obviously care deeply for your dog, so let’s get on to showing you how to do it well.

      The Nature of a Dog Pack in the Wild

      In the wild, a dog pack is usually made up of the male and female alpha pair. This couple becomes the leader of the pack. The alpha couple mates, leads the hunt and makes all the decisions on behalf of the pack. The alpha pair re-establishes its status through rituals that take place on the hunt, when feeding, when reforming the pack (in case one of the alphas has been injured or killed and a new alpha needs to be elected) and at times of danger. Every dog pack needs an alpha pair; without this couple it is certain death for the remaining pack members.

      How your Dog Perceives the Pack within your Family

      Even though your dog is now living as part of your family, your dog is still functioning within the same framework as if it were living in a wild pack. In your dog’s mind, survival is based on having an organised structure of leaders and followers. In the domestic environment, pack leader status is reaffirmed when you walk your dog, at feeding time, when
