Explaining "why" to a dog is pretty useless. You have to engage their instincts in order to change their behavior.

Cesar MillanOften we blame the breed, but in my opinion, it's not the breed, it's the owner. The owner has to be the pack leader and provide exercise, discipline, then affection. If you do that, you'll have a sweet, loving, and balanced dog - no matter what breed!

Cesar MillanIn life... we need to find a balance. You have to set rules and limitations - that is called discipline. And you have to practice that in all your worlds.
