I think dominant is a term that gets used for a lot of different things, but not really accurately. Its not a huge deal, but everone uses it for every bad behavior sometimes when just the opposite is true. People don't like to talk about insecurities or fears because it sounds a lot worse then it really is with dogs.
100% on that one!
The average person has probably never even seen a truly dominant dog. For the most part, what people see as dominant is either misplaces aggression or just a spoiled rotten pet that get what it wants by being obnoxious. These are the dogs that create problems because they don't really know how to handle the status their owners have allowed them to take.
With a good leader ALL dogs are better for it. The truly dominant dog is a wonderful thing to observe when he has the correct leadership.
"The average person has probably never even seen a truly dominant dog."
It took me a looooong time to recognize this fact. The fact that very few of us have even known one, never mind owned one, is a huge part of the wildly overused term, IMHO.
