That's an article on a study done about the domiance theory.
When we adopted Duke he had aggression problems. I was told to alpha roll him, to walk in front, and some other things.
The alpha roll backfired horribly. He never picked up that he was to walk behind me.
We did control all food, treats, and toys though. He only got them if he did something for us and it helped with his training.
I think before anyone tries dominance, they should look into positive reinforcement and clicker training. Why scare your pet into listening when you can simply show them what you want?
