ALPHATUDE
In order to project Alphatude to your dog you need to have a plan, so that you feel in
control, have compassion for the dog and maintain a leadership attitiude when the
situation requires it. Dogs need leadership first and love/affection last in order to be
safe and sane.
When you project leadership energy you aren’t trapped in the inertia of physical,
emotional or mental tension. Physical stiffness hampers your ability to move
spontaneously. Mental and Emotional stiffness is the byproduct of anticipation, doubt,
fear or indecision, will make you slow, ineffective and weak.

If we go back to our drive theory, Pack Drive is asserting your energy and intention in a
leadership role with your dog; Alphatude. Alphatude is an attitude reflected in the
actions of your body.
