It does not matter what is going on- no one is allowed out the door before I am, and they are released by name only, and in orders that vary. They don't know who will get to go out first. They don't need to have pack structure between them. I am the pack, and that is it. " Well put. I know which of my dogs is most dominant (and which is least), but, as you say, " They don't need to have pack structure between them. I am the pack, and that is it." No working it out between them, no posturing, no displays.

I can't say that I never catch Koenig posturing at Sara, but it's QUICKLY stopped, and he's kenneled alone for awhile to enforce my point. Sara just takes, sweet little dog. They have nothing to work out, and for the most part, they understand that. If someone forgets, they get timeout. Simple, easy, to-the-point leadership. (...works for kids, too...)

(kinda defeating the 'safe place' for the dog...) She will also pee in a crate. Not sure how crates work to potty train dogs, but not kids. Dang dog is smarter then my child!
