Maggie is the alpha dog at our house. She takes what she wants when she wants it. If she wants Buster's flossie, the minute he stops chewing, she gets it. It's still in his possession, he's just stopped chewing to look up or whatever. She goes back to where she was chewing hers, lays down on it covering it up, and now she has both of them. She will eat the food out of his bowl before she eats hers and he won't dare touch her bowl. If there is a toy she wants, he gives it up. I intervene alot of the time although I shouldn't but he won't 'man up'. I wish I could find a dog behaviorist, not a trainer that calls her a bullie.
