I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. You state that your a trainer,

The above statement makes no sence.
Of course you can break a dog from aggression. I have done it and I am
far from a dog trainer. Buddy is too big to flip on his back, however that
is the preferred method. I would not reason with my DOG like I would reason
with my children. My children are human my dog is a dog. The each live
by different standards. I speak human to my children and I speak dog to my
dog when needed. He was or getting to be very aggressive. No punishment
was required they do not understant that. But dog talk they do understand.
Being alpha over them is a must for an aggressive pup. It is never to early
to start showing them you are the boss. I was bit once and it was not ever
going to happen a second time and never did. I educated myself and we
now have a wonderful relationship built on trust and understanding.
A dog needs to feel secure and in order to do so someone has to be the
pack leader. If the human does not take over the role the dog will automatically and then you have a problem. I would punish my child for
being disobient but my dog I would correct in a fashion he would understand.
Sending him to his crate is dumb. You can not raise a dog the same way
you raise your children. I do not agree with that at all.

great post
i have used my crate to separate my dogs.. for 5-10 minutes.. only needed for 2 males.. but one is now neutered and the other male has come out on top over him.. but i maintain pack leader status when i can..
