Oh goodness, that is just a tiny little baby! How precious!!!! Submissive dogs will approach or be approached and usually lay down or lower their heads. The dominating one will be more aggressive and stand over top, maybe even growl or snap until the other one is submissive. I am no pro, that is for sure. I would rather have a submissive dog any day. In my house Tiah and Mercedes are very submissive. Mavrick is dominating (but not aggressive)...just wants to take control of who gets what toy and wants to be the boss of all the dogs. Cowboy doesn't seem to follow under either category and is way more like a human baby. A dominating dog needs to be controlled so it doesn't get out of hand. I guess the more a dominating dog is challanged for the alpha position the more you will see the characteristics of domination. If you have two that won't back down it will be a problem every single day.
