Dog Dominance Behavior - What Are Some Symptoms?
What Are Some Symptoms Of Dog Dominance Behavior?
- Marking in the house
- Refusing to move out of your way
- Stealing your food
- Peeing On your bed
- Pooping on your bed
- Refusing to obey commands that he knows well
- Growling at you
- Snapping at you
- Biting you
- Stealing your clothes
- Blocking your access to furniture or something else you want
- Guarding food or toys
Of course there's more where that came from. These are the common symptoms that people sometimes miss. More often than not I just hear, "That's the way the dog is."
That is dog dominance behavior. Until you accept what something is, you can't take care of it.

My husband and I have a 3 year old Black Lab that is very aggressive with his food and certain bones. He also growls at us if we get near his bed when he is laying or sitting in it. We have tried so many things to break him of growling/biting us while eating, but it just hasn't worked. He is especially possessive towards me when I am around him when he is eating. After reading your articles, it all makes sense! I need some pointers for myself to do so that he does not think he can dominate me. He isn't as bad with my husband, but he still does the same things to him. I always told my husband to just leave him alone, but now I think that may have made things worse. So, if you could just tell me some things that I could do to keep him from acting this way towards me.
Thanks!
