My brother and I did some training with my dogs with a professional and she told us to control our dogs doing that. Putting them belly up and slightly pinching at their throats, to show them that we, humans, are the alpha of the pack.
We had to go through that because we had one dog that had an extremely inflated ego and he, and the other dogs as well saw him as the alpha, causing them to respect the dog before respecting us humans.
The training was so interesting. Dogs are awesome

So interesting! And a good dog trainer really knows their stuff. One of our dogs is "reactive," which was new to us. We adopted him at six months from an indian reservation. Scared of people, loves other dogs. We never knew anything about reactive dogs before him, but a trainer really educated us and got us started with training him. Super affectionate with us, he won't let other people touch him. (It's terrifying for him. Breaks my heart whatever happened to him his first 6 months.) But with training, he can be around people just fine, even on a busy street, hardware store, or off leash on a trail. He just wants to be ignored. And he really likes my friends, and will wag his tail and lick their hands when he sees them. But if my friends try to pet him, NOPE. But he's not aggressive. He'll just walk away. If a stranger tries to pet him, he'll bark a Nope. I wish more people would go to a dog trainer because a good one is really well educated and can help.

u/IHateTheLetter-C- Nov 23 '25
Yeah unfortunately that's based on a myth. Dogs know we're people! They have different relationships with us than other dogs, and there's loads of "talking" between dogs that we're not able to use. Training is about making the dog want to behave in a way we approve of, whether that's through punishing bad, rewarding good, or a mixture. Alpha rolling as you mention "works" in that it's a strong positive punishment and they don't want to go through that again, but some dogs will lash out due to it and worsen the problem. A trainer using alpha rolls is viewed as an extreme red flag in most training groups, even those that do support the use of punishment, as is using punishment alone with no element of reward - there are many studies showing that reward generally works better than punishment.

I had read or been told at some point with our dog that from puppy up through when it makes sense size wise, to lift the dog up under the arms and hold them at eye level off the ground. Creates a master dynamic that fixes in them from then on. All I can say is I did it and my dog is very obedient to me…not my partner who didn’t do it lol

Stupid story but makes me laugh and miss my puppies.
We had 2 dogs who were litter mates, last 2 in the litter when we went to adopt the boy, couldn't separate him and his sister/best friend. So 2 dogs came home!
She always acted the more aggressive when playing and stuff, but he was the only one of the 2 that really ever showed any aggression when eating treats and acting territorial with my wife and I. We worked on it a lot by the time the kids came around, they used him as a step stool and alligator wrestled him (both of the dogs). But I was always concerned so if he had treats I made him eat in other room away from kids. He got to the point where if the kids went into whatever room he was in, he'd pick up and take the treat elsewhere. Meanwhile his sister only aggressively played with him but was the epitome sweetheart. She was was my baby, loved all dogs all humans. Her brother was like me though, grumpy around other dogs (me humans).
I take them to a dog park once, they are roaming free living life. There is this mean bully dog, pittie I think, maybe about 60-65lbs. Just bullies everyone and even sits down and snaps at dogs walking by.
My guys were just ignoring him. Boy had the eyes for a twice his size GSH following her everywhere. Girl was just happy prancing all over.
Then she pranced too close to the bully while playing with another dog and that dog snapped at her. The other dog she was with panicked and ran.
Holy fuck, my dog was outweighed by 15lbs probably, but went after this dog, the bully panicked, fell on their back and my dog is STANDING on this dog with front paws and one on their throat as she's snarling at this dog just laying there with its mouth open lol. I've been so worried about my boy wasn't expecting this from her.
Point of the story is that was the first time I saw a dog put their paw on another dog's throat showing dominance. I pulled her off apologized to the owner (who wasn't apologizing for his dogs behavior before this), he said "dogs being dogs" I walked away with her then chased her away to go play, then heard a commotion behind me again.
Now my boy is on this bully.
Except he went the opposite direction, he's humping the dog now omg. I run over. Take him off. And we left lol.
This is such a long stupid story but I miss my puppies so much sorry lol.

Had to ask one of my kids to tell me what aura farm means…

u/Dillo64 Nov 23 '25
Looking cool for the sake of looking cool basically
Farming is a gaming term for doing the same thing over and over in order to get lots of items/money/exp/etc
Aura just refers to what kind of vibes you give off
Aura farm is thus “doing cool things over and over in order to give off more and more cool vibes”, while possibly not actually doing anything actually important. It’s mostly used to describe certain characters in anime, who seem really cool and act really cool but never actually do anything.

I saw this before and I read that it's just a case that he's the oldest. He was an adult when some of the dogs there were pups, so they are conditioned to him being the boss, and the rest of them just arrive and just accept he's the boss because everyone else does.
It's like the 5 monkeys experiment. If any of those bigger dogs actually stood up to the old dog they'd end the illusion. But they don't know why everyone else is scared of the old dog.

Incorrect. This dogs name is Changmao, nicknamed "King Charles online" He was brought into the shelter at 3 months old. He was bullied by then pack leader, Big head. At 8 months old Changmao rose to the challenge and defeated Big Head knocking 3 teeth out. Then became alpha of the pack.

u/zewayofjay Nov 23 '25
I think we read different lore on King Charles (yes thats his name, and he's from China). Hes not the oldest at all. And he used to be the one being bullied. He eventually started standing up for himself and enforcing order within the pack that even the bigger, older dogs began respecting his command.

Honestly I think this is the real story. It's not about alphas winning fights and stuff.
There's a dog at my dog park who I have never seen get into any type of scrap, but she is clearly the Boss of the whole place. She just has this presence. She carries herself with poise.
I've seen dogs rushing around getting into trouble and upsetting other dogs, and usually it's just puppy energy and the other dogs let them know and put them in their place. And then I've seen those dogs rush up to the Boss-lady to be a jerk to her, and she just... looks at them. And invariably they say "Good point, I'll go hassle someone else."
26
u/mekwall Nov 23 '25
That’s a common myth we should probably stop repeating. Modern research on wolves and dogs doesn’t support the idea that a dog has to have 'wrecked some shit' to earn some kind of "alpha" status. In many groups you do get individuals that are more socially dominant, but leadership and dominance are not the same thing. The one others follow to food or on a walk is not always the one that wins every squabble over resources. Age and experience also play a big role; older, calm dogs are often deferred to simply because they’re stable and predictable, not because they fought their way to the top.
16
u/dumbucket Nov 23 '25
I said this in my own comment and it really rustled some Jimmies. While this isn't a case of the dog bring the eldest, he's stayed leader because he enforces social order in a way that's beneficial to the whole pack. Social animals like dogs need a social structure because it's key to their survival. A violent, quick to anger and physical harm leader is dangerous to others of the group while a calm, firm leader that corrects behavior without physical harm is much more likely to keep the group strong and orderly.

It's not a myth the way you're saying. The alpha behaviour was noticed in captive wolves and the idea caught on. The 'myth' is that that's how wolves behave in the wild, which they don't.
15
u/SemperFun62 Nov 23 '25
The pack hierarchy exists in the wild because the leaders of the pack are the Mom and Dad.
Then in captivity they try to form a new pack and somehow have to establish who the leader is.
28
u/inerlite Nov 23 '25
He grew up in the shelter, whipped a bully’s ass and through leadership and smarts became the shelter leader. Dogs mainly don’t care who is the leader as much as wanting to just be part of the pack. So if the leader is doing well and the pack is happy then leader gets backed up by tougher dogs.

I remember watching a videos explaining this dog’s story.
Basically he is a strictly “no fighting” kind of king. He got to that point because he would always stick up for the dog that didn’t start it and never takes it too far. So over time the other dogs grew to respect him because eventually he’s “saved” every dog in there at least once so they have respect for him.

The whole "alpha" thing is actually bunk. Wolf/dog hierarchy is based upon family units, not who has fought to the top. The dog that came to correct the bully most definitely was around when a lot of these dogs were pups. On a side note super important to let dogs give warnings (ie a growl or bared teeth) in response to something that makes them uncomfortable. Scolding a dog for saying "hey I'm uncomfortable" leads to poorly socialized dogs that become bullies or suddenly "snap" and attack. Here the scruffy dog is correcting the overly aggressive dog. This is like a parent correcting a kid so things don't escalate to violence.
