The Myth of an Alpha Role: What Dog Owners Need to Know
The myth of an alpha role is when you physically force your dog onto its side or back into a submissive position and hold it there. Ostensibly show dogs that you are the dominant one in the relationship and that they should defer to you.

Dogs I Knew Somewhere . Top Story - December 2021.
Part I – Rusty I remember a stray dog that had been taken in by my uncle, who lived in the farmyard across the road from our yard. I am not sure of the breed of the dog but he appeared to be a mix of some sort of Collie, with a dash of Spaniel and a sprinkling of Lab plus a light touch of sinister and evil. My uncle found him in a small bluff of marsh willows out in the pasture. The dog’s foot had been injured and he was obviously starving. Uncle Harry nursed him back to health and fed him until he had regained much of his lost weight. The dog naturally became very fond of my uncle and he followed him loyally around the farm and into the barn and out in the grain fields. He became my uncle’s protector and body-guard. If anyone so much as spoke loudly to my uncle or tried to sit in his favorite chair, the dog would intervene with a bark, a menacing growl and finally a little snap with his teeth. Because of this routine, the dog was eventually named, “Nipper”. Old Nipper had the run of the farm for a couple of years and became very skilled at killing rats and chasing escaped pigs back into the outside fenced enclosure.
