Breaking Down the Alpha Dog Theory

We’ve all heard the statements, “Dogs are basically wolves, and should be treated that way,” or, “Be the leader of your dog pack!”

What is a pack of dogs like? How do you tell if your dog is dominant or submissive? Do dogs have an alpha? Are dogs like wolves?

In these two videos I discuss the alpha dog theory, break down what dog and wolf packs are like in the wild, and explain why the alpha dog theory persists.
