Boomer

Boomer is a dominant boxer mix. The challenge with Boomer is that at a volunteer shelter with a limited number of volunteers we do not have the time or manpower to work with him as much as we would like. I have talked with some of the others and we have set up a plan so that his walks will be structured and long. This way, just as Cesar Millan has said many times, Boomer will start to establish his position in the pack as a follower. He will not be allowed to take charge and lead.
The first step in working on his dominance is to establish him as a follower to his human caregivers. Once he sees his human caregivers as his leaders we will hopefully be able to start introducing him to other dogs. The hope is that if he sees humans as over him and the other dogs he will be more likely to obey the humans than to be aggressive with the other dogs.
