When you are with your dog, make sure that your body language reflects

Watch different body parts (ears, tails, eyes, lips, hair, overall posture) separately for a while. See if you can predict which body stances lead to which activities or outcomes.

Similar to human beings, dogs naturally look to their leaders for direction.
The leader of the group is always kept within sight.
The first question to ask yourself is: are you looking to your dog more

between a stick and a wooden chair leg. She may think that it is her job to protect against intruders, even when the
“intruder” is a visiting relative. She may be genuinely excited when she sees another dog approaching, although she’s pulling
you off your feet. Think about how she might be seeing things and use the exercises to train her toward a better
way of reacting.
