It's really frustrating when I hear people labelling dogs' behaviour as 'dominance'. The dominance theory has no basis in science and was debunked years ago.

Even more frustrating is when I hear that two of our local vets are labelling a dog's behaviour, as 'dominance', with no offer of physical examination for pain or underlying medical conditions. I find that really shocking and it is doing dogs and guardians no favours at all and perpetuating out of date misinformation.

If you are told that your dog is being 'dominant' please reach out.

I wish all dog guardians understood this. One of the most common calls I get is 'my dog loved all dogs as a puppy and now he doesn't want to play with them. How can I make him like dogs again? Should we just go to the dog park more'?

Not every dog loves to be social and not every dog loves the dog park.

Just like other mammals you have some that love to be social butterflies and others are very selective when it comes to friends.

It is normal to be friend selective. It’s unusual to enjoy and be friendly with every single dog.
