Actually TPW no I don't have a dominance issue problem, thank you. If you really want to know my husband and I thought we had a food aggression issue with her and through talking with other ASD owners I learned that our correction methods were not the right ones for her breed. We also learned that her "food agression" wasn't food agression but being removed from her mother at too young of an age, and not having a mother's correction during her formative development. I now correct her as a mother dog would, and this works perfectly for her...and she has no dominance issues with me, nor does my male Presa. I also never had a problem working with Thoroughbred racehorses, nor any other animal that I have ever owned or worked with, thank you very much, Then again I try to observe the state of animal and also to know that I am in command. I truly do thank you for your insight into my problems with my dogs....it really helps so much when people come one yelling and and then trying to make others feel like complete idiots. One of the reasons I truly like this sight is that 80 to 90 % of the members here try to teach and are respectful of the other members, even if someone says something or does something completely off the wall. The best way to teach is to gently lead and guide, not to pound and try to make others feel less. Have a blessed evening, Virginia
