There was another great article about an article debunking the 'alpha' myth. Anytime I hear a dog owner say alpha, and usually it has to do with dealing with some problem behavior in their dog, I cringe a little inside. I'm not a spectacular dog trainer, and god knows I get upset at my dogs a bit more than I feel I should, but when my dogs are acting up I know it's not because I am lacking some magical alpha hold over them.
