Hi I have a problem with a very dominate female rotti.I will be moving into my boyfriends home in a few weeks and he has a beagle whose not fixed and is sort of dominate also. I had gotten a male rotti a year ago as a puppy and she pushed him around and let him know she was boss.Hes nervious around her but they get along well.He just doesnt want to do anything to piss her off,and tries real hard.I have tried in the past to introduce her to other dogs but she just wont have it.If I even yell at another dog she will go after the dog because I yelled it. Dont know how to handle this.

Are you talking about two or three dogs? Male and female Rottis and a Beagle?
Sounds like you have a few things to address, including your position with regard to the female (and in fact your whole pack, because it sounds like you are an observer instead of the pack leader).
I'd start using these weeks -- and I'd have a plan in place for the move. Three dogs -- that's a serious situation that requires real management and attention, and a plan.
I have 2 rottis one male who loves everybody and everything,and the female.He has a beagle and my male and him get along already.Yes I do have a crate and plan on using it! LOL
It is actually important for all dogs to have a crate if possible... It is not a good situation to have one dog crated and in a position for the other dogs to come up, sniff, etc... Not good at all really.
Do you have any of the videos yet, and if not, is this a possibility?

In addition to getting videos if possible, I would definitely put all three dogs on a strict nilif and daily basic obedience training program. I would also sit down with your boyfriend discuss the situation and agree on a set of house rules for all three dogs. Write them down and post them in a few very accessible places where you'll both be sure to see them. Then, enforce those rules.
And definitely have crates for all three dogs. That alone will save your sanity at times.
