[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have 4 dogs. They’re all senior small breed dogs. I now have 3 dogs as 1 passed away and was the eldest of the bunch and what I would call the leader or alpha of the pack. The eldest one alive now is 13 and toothless but is bullying the other 2 dogs when under the old dynamic he was what I would call the omega of the group/bottom of the pack. If one of the other dogs is eating or somewhere he doesn’t like he becomes aggressive with them when with the other dog that passed away she wouldn’t let that behavior fly. I know this sounds kind of ridiculous but true. Worth it to bring in a trainer or just try to correct the behavior at home? My husband suggested it would work itself out and isn’t a problem because he is literally toothless and old. [/quote] The alpha dog pack theory has been debunked.
