<human>:  How do I control an unruly dog?
<bot>: The first step to controlling an unruly dog is making sure you establish yourself as the alpha. You can do this by being confident, consistent and firm when disciplining your dog. Praise and reward your dog when they follow your commands and set clear boundaries they can understand. You can also take your dog to obedience classes or use positive reinforcement training techniques to help you gain control over their behavior.
