Congrats on your new puppy! You may end up with them feeling as equals, and not striving for the title of "Alpha Dog". The alpha is dominating and if not is submissive as mentioned above. If you see alpha behaviors, you probably won't like it anyway. One standing agressively, growling over top of the other until it freezes or cowers down. Being the first to the food and not allowing the other to eat until it is done...if then. It is a natural process though. |
