Referencing the milo/pack order post above- heck yeah! Pack order is an amazing thing. My three year kid knows he is an alpha and the turkeys would never dream of attacking him but my ten year old daughter gets sent up to fees the sheep and the next thing you know she is getting butted by the ram. Establishing a pack order is important and most of all that you are the leader and if you choose to pet another dog or pick up a grand baby that you get to choose tha because you are the head lady, the alpha and the decision maker. Your dog will be more comfortable if he or she is firm in what their role is anyway
