Sometimes your kids can keep on at you to get them a puppy to look after. Before actually going out and buying one for them make sure that you actually know something about them, apart from the fact that they tend to wag their tails when they are happy.
You should always try to know a lot about any pets that you intend to care for especially dogs.
If a dog lived in the wild it would be similar to the wolf and live in packs. The leader of this pack would be the alpha male or as it is a dog the alpha dog.
The domesticated dog is no different in the respect that it will look after its family, or pack and its territory.
You may be the one that goes out to work and brings home the money, and you mad consider yourself to be the alpha male. But to a dog if you are not the person that takes care of it the most then it will not regard you as the alpha of its pack. That position goes to the person that looks after it the most.
If your kids tend to look after the dog all the time then it will consider one of those the alpha male. The same can be said of its territory. If the dog thinks that the home is its territory then it is natural to assume that it will bark when a stranger approaches the house.
Marking their territory is another thing a dog does often. To mark a territory the dog urinates to leave its own smell so that other dogs know it is theirs. A strange but true fact is a dog can even tell by smelling the urine whether the territory belongs to a big dog or small dog. If a dog finds that the territory belongs to a smaller dog it can urinate over the top and claim the territory as its own.
If your dog has strayed onto another dog's territory then try to get it away from there before there is any trouble with a rival dog.
