Whether its a family dog bringing back a ball or toy or a Police Dog chasing down a fleeing felon on command both dogs share something in common ...a level of harmony within pack. Achieving harmony within pack is really about the process which creates and maintains a follower role for your dog. Obedience, or pack leadership as I prefer to call the role changing process, is not about breaking the spirit or drive of the dog. The type of energy needed to create and maintain role change doesn't require aggressive or high challenging energy. Harmony within the pack roles impact whether a dog will bring back the ball to the owner or respond to the handler's command to release the bite on the captured felon. Ultimately everything is conditional and comes through pack leader within the context of the pack roles. Depending on the temperment and breed of the dog this harmony is more difficult to maintain and more difficult to challenge for once the dog has taken the lead role. Greater understanding of pack is needed. The next time you witness a dog jumping through the air for a frizbee, chasing a toy, or a police dog responding for his or her handler you may hear something not heard before.....the unspoken langauge of pack.
