Is it a good idea to be dominant over your dogs? Yes. Does that mean you need to be in conflict or harsh with them? NO!There’s a misconception that ‘dominance’ means force or aggression. E.G. Most humans are dominant over their human meal, but the strategy to gain dominance doesn’t have to be harsh. It just means they’ve established priority access. An animal making themselves look bigger also doesn’t mean dominance, it can simply mean trying to look stronger incase of conflict, or more threaten

👑 Social Dominance: Think of this as your pup’s leadership style. It’s when they exhibit confidence and assertiveness to establish their place in the pack. Just like a good team captain, a socially dominant dog ensures harmony within the group. 👿 Aggression: On the flip side, aggression is like an unwelcome guest at the party. It’s when a dog’s behavior becomes hostile, threatening, or harmful. This isn’t about leadership; it’s about fear, anxiety, or other emotional triggers. 🤝 The Balance:

In the dog world, there’s a divide. On one side - people who say the wolf connection is outdated, irrelevant. That dominance theory was debunked, so wolves have nothing to teach us. On the other side - people still using the wolf as justification for harsh training, claiming dogs need to be shown who’s boss. Here’s the truth: both sides missed the point. The wolf family isn’t about any of that. It’s about function, identity, emotional connection, and relationship, resilience, balance and respect
