Description
Book Introduction
The companion dog
In the end, it resembles you
People who blindly adopt dogs without the ability to raise them
A person who doesn't even control his dog no matter how much it barks
A person who bites and kills another person's dog and acts as if it's nothing serious
What your dog needs is not a friend, but a guardian.
Your dog is just like you.
Why do people raise dogs so carelessly?
Watching the news, I feel that Korea's pet culture has changed a lot.
In the past, only incidents of people being bitten by dogs were reported in the news, but these days, you can often see articles about dogs biting other dogs.
Now it really feels like companion dogs have become members of our society.
Perhaps because of this, the nature of the problems and conflicts surrounding companion dogs has changed significantly.
In the past, the problem was the culture of treating companion dogs like objects and not trying to understand their minds or behaviors at all. Nowadays, the problem is the behavior of thinking too much about one's own companion dog.
The reality is that there are more and more people who treat their children like their own, buying them all kinds of things like dog strollers, expensive clothes, and fancy snacks, but who do not provide the proper education that a proper guardian should provide.
Of course, it is true that companion dogs are also living beings that can think and feel.
But that doesn't mean they're the same as people.
Just as treating dogs like humans doesn't make them human, we as humans need to think about and practice ways for our companion dogs to be happy as dogs.
In reality, companion dogs also do not want unconditional acceptance and love from their guardians.
What they want is not a friend-like protector, but a leader they can trust and rely on, someone who can guide them in the right direction.
To those who think of their dogs as their children
Are companion dogs like our own children? If so, we should reflect on how we raise our own children.
A parent's ultimate goal is to raise their child to be healthy and independent.
No parent wants their child to depend on them for their entire life.
Most parents want their children to grow up to have careers, develop healthy relationships, and live independently.
But to achieve this goal, parents must start by living that kind of life.
Parents must first show their children how to live healthy and upright lives.
The same goes for raising a pet dog.
If you think of your dog as your child, you, as the guardian, must first maintain the right attitude and show your dog how to live a healthy life.
In crowded places, you should keep the leash short and when introducing a new dog, you should first ask the other dog's guardian for permission.
If your dog is aggressive, you should not take it to the dog park, and if your dog barks too much and causes a nuisance to your neighbors, you should improve the situation through proper training.
Do you want your dog to live a healthy and happy life?
Are you wondering how to be a good protector rather than a good friend?
If so, open this book and follow the story told by trainer Kang Hyung-wook.
By the time you finish the book, I believe you will naturally understand what the role of a true guardian is.

Into the book
Young puppies do not play with each other, giving in and being considerate of each other.
If you're lucky enough to have a group of dogs with weak temperaments, they might be able to play together and be considerate of each other.
But even in these cases, after some time, it quickly becomes clear who is stronger and who is weaker, and eventually, the dog that is slightly stronger becomes the leader and becomes greedy and wants to do as it pleases.
For this reason, guardians must always be present and supervise puppies when they are playing with each other.
--- From "Why You Shouldn't Let Puppies Play With Each Other"
And that's not all.
Some people insist on having their dogs greet other dogs, even though they know that their dogs may attack them.
It's nice to hear you say hello.
How many people would take the idea of greeting someone negatively? But if you think about it, none of us would want to greet a stranger in a way we wouldn't want to be greeted.
Just because someone's intentions are good doesn't mean you can accept everything they do.
--- From "I should have just let him die"
People who want to raise a pet dog only have good imaginations.
I vaguely think that raising a dog will only bring joy and happiness, and that if I just love it, it will grow up without any problems.
In this way, most people believe that owning a dog will make them happy as well.
But if we think of ourselves as guardians, I think the true role of a guardian is to make the companion dog that comes to me happy and well, rather than myself.
--- From "Raising three or more companion dogs"
A dog's potty accident is more like an accident caused by exposure to a bad situation than a bad habit or lack of discipline.
The more irregular and unbalanced a dog's life is, the more likely it is that he will defecate anywhere.
I wish all dogs in Korea would relieve themselves outdoors.
I hope you go out of the house at least 4 times a day and come back just to urinate.
Of course, this wish won't come true overnight.
But what I can guarantee is that if your dog poops outdoors like this, most of the problems they have will disappear.
--- From "Countries That Don't Toilet Train"
Dogs love their guardians.
Beyond just liking someone, I want to become one body and mind with my guardian.
If that's not possible, I'd like to live with my guardian for the rest of my life and do whatever I can to help.
Is this true? Just look at your dog as soon as you wake up in the morning.
What are you doing? I'm probably watching you.
You go to the bathroom as soon as you wake up, right? Then look at your dog.
What are you doing? He's probably watching you.
When you wash, get dressed, and get ready to go out? I'll be watching you again.
Like this, the dog only looks at its guardian and thinks about its guardian all day long.
Your dog doesn't just follow your footsteps.
Your mind also follows you all day long.
--- From "Why People Matter More"
I have been giving counseling services simply because I know how to train dogs, without fully understanding how my heart races when I get a complaint from my neighbors about dogs, without fully understanding how upset I am when a passerby yells at me while I am out for a walk, without fully understanding how it feels to keep three dogs even though I know it is not worth it, without fully understanding what it is like to live in a car with ten dogs.
As time goes by and I gain more experience in life, I become more and more aware of how ignorant I have been.
And now I'm an adult who knows that sometimes the right thing to say can be the wrong answer, and that sometimes the wrong answer can be courageous.

Publisher's Review
Serious considerations about the 'right to own a dog'
And trainer Kang Hyung-wook's answer to that
“A dog is happy when it lives as a dog!”
Should I have just let him die?
There are people who will never admit that their dogs are dangerous.
Some people find it bothersome to take their dogs for a walk, so they just let them out to play on their own.
However, if a dog has ever attacked another animal or person, it should never be let loose.
This is common sense that anyone can understand.
But there are still people around us who don't have this common sense.
What about the dog next door that barks all day? The dog that lives in the yard and barks menacingly whenever neighbors pass by? The guardian who demands only positive training for their problem dog? The person who bites and injures another dog and then says it would have been better if the dog had died because the medical bills are so high?
If you love your dog like a child
Many pet owners say that their dogs are like their children.
If that's true, you'll have to go through some heartbreaking experiences while raising a pet dog.
A guardian is not someone who just showers you with love and touches you whenever you want.
Just like raising a child, you need to teach your dog to be well-mannered at all times, even when no one is watching.
If you truly love your dog, you should give him a routine that involves following rules, not freedom that is nothing more than indulgence.
You need to help the rule become ingrained in your body like a habit.
This is what it means to love a dog.
Your dog resembles you
A companion dog cannot help but resemble the guardian he trusts and follows.
It is contradictory for a guardian to expect his or her dog to be social while not even greeting the neighbors.
A person who does not have good manners in public places cannot raise a good dog.
If you want to raise your dog well, if you want your dog to be happy, you must first live a healthy life and become a role model for your dog.
What I am saying is that you cannot raise a dog well just by loving and liking it.
Loving isn't everything
Of course, training methods that only put pressure on dogs are not good.
But the irresponsible attitude of the guardian is even worse.
How you treat your dog is important, but how you live in the world is also very important.
I'm not saying you should hit and get angry.
I need to carefully consider whether the place I live is suitable for raising a dog and whether raising a pet dog is causing any harm to my neighbors.
And if you're causing inconvenience to your neighbors, you should also think about how to solve it.
I have to consider everything: whether I am really the type of person who can raise a dog, whether the circumstances allow it, whether the environment is suitable, etc.
For companion dogs to become members of our society
We live in an era where one in ten households owns a pet dog.
It's so easy to see dogs walking around apartment complexes.
Now, we have entered an era where companion dogs can be considered members of the same community.
In the future, our society must also provide companion dogs with opportunities to become members of the community, and in line with this, guardians must also raise and teach their companion dogs as "citizen dogs."
If dogs are to become part of our community, they must first learn how to behave appropriately.
Just as people are punished for hitting or killing others, dogs should also be punished for breaking the rules.
Even if it is euthanasia.
We must respect their rights, but we must also hold them accountable for their actions.
What kind of guardian are you?
Most people who want to raise a pet dog only have good imaginations.
People mistakenly believe that raising a pet dog will only bring them joy and happiness, and that if they just love it, it will grow up without any problems.
But if you think about it for a moment, you won't suddenly become happy just by getting a dog.
If you decide to raise a companion dog and become its guardian, you must first learn to take good care of yourself.
Do you want your dog to live a healthy and happy life? If so, you must first accept that, as their guardian, you can't provide everything your dog wants.
Only by realizing this can we properly fulfill our role as guardians.
Of course, this is by no means easy.
Sometimes, you have to endure and not do things you can do, and you have to endure and teach things you don't want to do.
A good guardian is not someone who gives everything, but someone who can control his or her desire to give.
This is where being a good guardian starts.
Are you ready to raise a citizen dog?
A dog can live happily when it can live as a dog, when it meets a guardian who thinks of it as a dog and cares for it.
Perhaps we have a responsibility beyond simply raising a companion dog, to also teach them to become accepted members of our society.
And companion dogs are not just animals that follow their instincts; they are also fully prepared to learn the rules of our society to live alongside humans.
So, are you ready to help your dog become a "citizen dog"?
