I posted on here a long time ago about my situation with my gf yorkie and how I spanked him and what not. With the help of you all I found out other alternatives on how to discipline him without hitting. We are have progressed even though I think he is afraid of me sometimes because of the past I don't think he will ever forget that which im sorry for. I just have a opinion on something who does he see as the pack leader? I've been reading books about submissive dogs/yorkies I don't feel as I am the pack leader but I do feel that he is more submissive to me than her and he more dominant to her but it can go both ways. here are some examples


1. He cowers to a lot when I stand to walk near him sometimes(I think hes afraid) but he gets really submissive especially if im the only watching him, he will not look me in the eye he will almost always turn his head away. on the other hand he will always give her eye contact, never submissive to her it seems. opinion?


2. When I open the door to the deck he will not go out unless I go first and he will stand at the door to see if its okay to come out. If she was to open the door he will probably go first.


3. He is more obedient to her when it comes to tricks he doesn't do tricks as much as he will for her and I think its because I spanked him in the past. I read that dominant dogs are stubborn.


4. I read that dominant dogs will be persistent on where they sleep or sleep over the humans head that they think are dominant over. He always has to sleep on her side and loves to sleep over her head.


5. Whining: He never whines to me ever when its just me and him, he always whines to her to get his way with her and she gives in. he also will whine to me when shes around usually when I stop playing with him and if he whines I will ignore it.


Any opinions? what you all think? what do you think is going on his head haha
