You can tell a lot about a dog by how they hold their tail. A calm dog, no matter how long their tail, will always hold it lower than higher. A hyper dog, or one who believes they are dominant will always hold their tail, no matter how long, straight out, or even higher. Every picture I’ve seen of Boktae shows his tail held high. This is consistent with what Geummi has said about him being hyper and not listening.

I’d be willing to bet that she feeds him before she herself eats, thinking it’s better to feed the dog first so it will not interrupt her meal. People think this is a good, considerate idea, but this is caring, human thinking. In the animal kingdom, the pack leader eats first, then everyone else. If she’s doing this she needs to stop doing it immediately. Once that’s been established, Boktae will begin to learn that she’s the pack leader, not him. I guarantee once that’s done, his behavior in every other area will begin to improve.

In general, if you want to know how to get animals to do what you want, just watch how they interact with each other without human input and try to be like the pack leader. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ddcb4f2a08d4dc583f36b4f3159c2ca282cbfd40a5bfd6b33a996a6fcd531dd7.jpg
