The advice about using threats to get dominance over your dog is amazingly pervasive. Dog owners and trainers everywhere have picked it up, as have veterinarians, police K-9 trainers, and your neighbor down the street. I think it's useful to wonder about people who would never hit their children are so quick, even against all their instincts, to follow the advice of "experts " and get physical with their dog to gain "dominance" over her.
