Ban that word from your vocabulary .... Submissive

Because generally when you talk about that it means that you have a dog that shies away and cowers when he sees you

Being the leader doesn't mean that you dog necessarily needs to be submissive
Just being the one who feeds cares and loves your pup usually gets the message across that you are in charge
Things to watch out for as you raise your pup is play ... watch out for biting and aggressive play
Don't let him nip or growl at other people
and never let him guard his food or toys

But just enjoy having your pup around and unless you see a problem put that stuff in the back of your mind
