Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: hierarchy issue. Wed Mar 27, 2013 3:00 pm | |
| Hello, I just have some questions about the dog's hierarchy issue.
I have three dogs(Husky,Golden,French bulldog).
Husky is the oldest puppy, and she came home earlier than other two dogs. So I always feed my husky first to balance their hierarchy issue. My husky plays with Golden everyday, they just bite each other and chase each other, run , etc. But the problem is that when the Husky is eating, Golden is always trying to eat first. When Golden tries to eat the food that Husky is eating, my Husky just let him eat her food. However, Husky does not allow French Bulldog to eat her food. I am just curious because Husky is older, bigger, and I feed Husky first everyday, I do praise husky first. But it seems like Golden is first rank among their pack. I do not know why... and I am confused with this!
Please help me |

| A lot of factors come into play.
It isn't always the biggest or meanest dog who is the leader, or the most intelligent. Often times it just comes down to which pup is the most confident and comfortable in that role. If a challenged of leadership happens, then brains and strength comes into play.
You can never force leadership onto a pack. Some animals are just born as followers while others are head strong and stubborn and make a stronger leader. There isn't anything wrong with letting them sort it out and figure it out for themselves and attempting to dictate who is top dog can often lead to confusion and confrontation when it could have been avoided.
I wouldn't worry about it, or try and change it. It sounds like your pups have figured out the hierarchy all by themselves. Just let it happen, it won't take away from your husky's quality of life in anyway for him/her to be a follower.
