I agree with the real men who believe in setting dominance with their pets. I saw my dog one time snap at my daughter, before he could even bit her I had him pinned on the ground and made sure he was resentful of what he did... now he let's her tug, pull, whatever she wants... as well as the female that one time snapped at my daughter for grabbing her food, before she could make contact, BAM, dog hasn't done it since... Dogs are pack animals and need to know where they stand in the order of things.
