Are You and Your Border Collie a Pack? Let Me Help You Answer That

Are You and Your Border Collie a Pack? Let Me Help You Answer That

One of the most common questions I get asked is: "Who is the pack leader after you?" — and my answer is that there is no pack leader, because we are not a pack. In this episode I break down what a pack actually is, why it doesn't apply to dogs living in a human household, and what the relationship between us and our dogs really looks like.

We cover:

  • The scientific definition of a pack and why humans and dogs don't qualify
  • The alpha wolf myth: where it came from, and how it was debunked
  • What feral and street dogs in Italy, Eastern Europe, and South America actually do (and don't do) socially
  • Why dogs evolved to live with us, not to dominate us
  • What our household really is — and why that matters for how we train and relate to our dogs
