hello all,

just thought about sharing information about my experience of keeping multiple dogs at home and leading a pack.

this time i will focus on how they react to intruders, visitors and friends. (no aggression is tolerated in the pack is the ground rule...feeding is together)

first let me say i stylishly influenced and defined my pack by timing when a pup is brought home using the age, breed and temperament.

each individual in the pack has its own place in that social order. Without a leader and rules, a dog pack is confused, unstable and a constant conflict is inevitable.

myself...leader
Roonie...Alpha Male ..German sherpherd
Nikki....Aplha female ..Rottweiller
Nikkita...assistant to Alpha Female...Rottweiller
Mama...Calvary..South African Boerboel
Angel...cheer leader...Siberian Husky
Debbie..Omega...German sherpherd.

my dogs leave in my garage separated from the rest of the compound by a gate.
whenever someone approaches the gate, Debbie will start to bark seriously to wake all the dogs or get their attention.

Roonie who keeps the database of everybody will run to check to determine if the person is a member of the compound, visitor (new or constant).
Nikki and Nikitta (Rotts) will charge awaiting decision of Roonie to either come along to join the attack or back down
Mama will be ready waiting to see if the 3 of the front line defense dogs will need muscle assistance to combat the intruder.
angel will be howling and waiting for opportunity to run about the house..not interested in d attack.

but if Roonie decides that this person is a part of the house..he signals and barking changes from agrresion to jubilation.

if roonie decides dat d person is a visitor but no need to attack (depending on his judgement of xter), he walks back..,guarding d person from attacks from others.

i have seen Roonie growled at d Rotts several times if they kept charging to attack someone Roonie has declared friendly

Ok

smh

roonie and myself
angel
mama
nikki and nikita

Interesting how you've kept the order. I'm sure you also know that as your 'assistant' begins to age and loose agility one of the rest may try to take over singularly or team up with another pack member to carry out the coup. It may be someway down the road but do you have a plan when they begin to test your alpha for his position.

sure..

i like your angle.
that happens in every pack setting.

Okay

General, i deh use my eyes to deh follow u about oh. Learning from you....till I am ready to take the step

meanwhile.. i forgot to add that i did not create this pattern.

i just discovered it from several observations.

now, if i need to add someone new to my house like my i got my 2 househelps, i just took them to Roonie at respective times

they followed me to feed them for a week and after that the courageous one took over the role.

she feeds them and put them back in their respective rooms in the cages while d other one that is still afraid after 3 months plus comes down to sweep and clean the feeding area.

This got me smiling...nice pack.

my oga Prodeegee...i hail o.

i did not say the part when Roonie declared a full scale attack on someone.., ye guh

that day, d guy learnt that jumping to the roof of a honda eod doesnt guarantee safety from these guys.

the gate was opened because i had some biker friends of mine with me while we were making some bbq.

the dogs were with us..all sat down waiting for thier shares.

the guy was actually my neighbors new drycleaner...he said when he saw d gate opened , he walked in and he got comfortable when he didnt hear any dog barking...

unfortunately, his issue started when the dogs saw dat he didnt come to us hence he wasnt part of the party guests.

he too panicked when he saw 6 dogs without chain

he dropped the entire stuff and took to the next car roof...3 dogs followed suit immediately.

i had to call d guys to order when i saw him on the roof of d car....i didnt see him coming and musik was loud too

A well ordered pack you got there.

bros please i need one of those

Now this is what I call a family
