When a human is walking a lot of dogs at one time, you get a lot of comments. Such as “Who is walking who?” We know EXACTLY who is walking who. Want proof?
Hu-dad - "Ok, Natasha, we have walked down the beach far enough. It is time to turn around and walk back."
Oh yeah, mister? Let's grab hold of this leash.
Sometimes you have to communicate with a firm tug on the leash.
But just remain firm or the human will think he is in control.
And it is difficult to retrain the human once you have allowed bad habits to form.
Any question about who is in charge?

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
It is very clear for me… I wonder if hu-dad knows it too!
Happy Wednesday!
Kisses and hugs

GRR..eat picture of Queen Natasha to show hu-dad just WHO is in charge!!! So funny!
I so empathize! It is also good to throw in a few really unreasonable commands every now and then so that you can let the human “win.” That way they think they they are making progress…and they are really really good for a while.
Um, no, I was never in doubt about who was in charge.
Never a doubt, whatever the Queen says is right!!! We get that same question all the time too. In our case it is surprisingly usually Phantom who is in charge:)

Nope, I think you covered it. 🙂
No doubts at all!
Your khredentials are the indikhator of THAT!
All Hail QNTE!

oh! reverse-leash training! That’s brilliant, Natasha! No wonder woo are the queen! (No doubt in our minds who the pack-leader is in your pack!)
Even just walking three I get asked if I am a professional dog walker… I should start making cards

LOL. Or is it the humans letting you think you are in charge?
Thanks for the smile!
We always let them think they are in charge, but we all know better. You should see our human be in charge of us when a rabbit comes out from absolutely NOWHERE. Hee Hee…The HoundDogs
When Riley sees a squirrel on a walk…we know who’s in charge…Riley! She’ll try to dart off after it and practically drag me down the street while I’m desperately trying to get her into heel position or even just loose leash position. She gets a little distracted…!
Elyse (and Riley)
We all know Queen Natasha is in charge of everything! I love those pictures of her, though, especially that bug eyed one!
Thanks Natasha for clarifying this for all the humans out there that “think” they are in control!! You are right that re-training a human is difficult!!

We never had any doubt, but the Herd’s induction into HULA should clarify it for anyone who has questions.
I knew the answer before even reading the post! But, the photos prove it! She rules with an iron paw!
Way to show them who is REALLY in charge, Natasha! Woo make us proud!

Persistence is a very good trait in a leader. Keep up the good work, Natasha!
Walking 2 GSD’s and a Boxer gets that question as well. And frankly, the implication is correct. I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing. I am totally fine with this because I have 1 controlling GSDs to keep the situation completely under control, 1 GSD for protection and the Boxer for entertainment. I just have to keep the leashes untangled…
Mamma Heartbeat
You are the clear leader, Nitasha!
Your pal, Pip
LOL We know exactly who’s in charge in our house LOL
Hoomans THINK they’re in charge, but well, they have no idea we’re just letting them think that.
Woofs,

“Natasha, You are the Pack Leader!” No question!!
We always let the hoomans think that they in-charge but well….
it’s clear- hu-dad is all ovah it! wink wink.

I never questioned it for a minute.
I like to pretend I’m in charge.
