One thing I did notice weirdly was it happened at exactly the same point on our way home from walks - just as we turned into our street and it was like a trigger for him "oh this is the place where I acted like a little bastard before, I'll do it again!"

So I walked home a different way and that actually helped.

Dogs aren't trying to dominate you.

you have never met a dog.

all dogs do is attempt to dominate - they take your seat, they take your things, they take your food, they take the leash. this is a behavior that can be trained out but it's standard fare for most pups.

Domination isn't a thing with dogs. That theory has been discredited.

He knows he's close to home and doesn't want to end the walk yet, so he's throwing a temper tantrum to stay outside longer.

This, our dog does that. She'll growl and make noises to get our attention. She's trying to communicate.

He's a nobody who has no idea what he's going on about.

Dog behaviorists agree that dominance is not a thing with dogs vis-a-vis humans. The idea has little to no basis in the actual science of canine behavior.

Once. That’s it.

Cesar millan had his moment. He is not a great trainer. Try to keep up. His dog junior killed and attacked both dogs and people.
