Tomorrow Randy and maybe Rowdy will be coming home for good and I am a little worried about keeping everyone safe and happy. Sometimes Leo does not listen to me and I need to be sure that I have control during this transition period. Most of the time he is obedient, but when he gets distracted, like with the puppies, he does not immediately mind. Several times I had to put on his leash to be sure he backed off when the pups had enough of his rough play. Does anyone have tips for maintaining control without resorting to the leash? I also used a can with coins in it to get Leo's attention and that worked for awhile, then became ineffective. I am wondering if Leo has decided to challenge me for the alpha position and what I might do to be sure he does not.
