1. Always be the first to go through doors (even if it's by one step)
2. Have your meals before your puppy gets there meal
3. Try to keep you puppy below you (don't always let your puppy be up on furniture at your level)
4. When playing tug of war win more times than you lose (if you win all the time the puppy will start to get bored of the game and if you lose all the time your puppy will think it is stronger than you)
5. Never shout, yell or hit your puppy if it does something wrong, it only reinforces bad behaviour and your puppy will start to mistrust you
6. Make your puppy work for things like toys and food (e.g make your puppy sit before he/she gets there food, this will get them to respect you more)

∙ 12y agoThe best thing to do is to not approach a strange dominant dog at all. However if you are in a situation where you it approaches you, and it doesn't seem like you may be bitten you can stand tall and offer your hand (low and with fingers curled in) to the dog while looking at something far away off to the side. Never approach a dog face on, from the side is better. If you are in a situation where you may be bitten and the dog is actively threatening you, a good way to defuse the situation is to break eye contact, look off to the side and give a large, exaggerated yawn. This is a pacifying gesture which says, "I am not submitting but I mean you no harm."
Often when a dog growls he is trying to communicate to you to back off for one reason or another. Ignoring this communication can result in an attack even if you attempt to pacify the dog.

Agreeing with the above a bit, small details like direct eye contact or heading right in front of the dog quite fast can make the dog aggressive towards you.
Dogs can also feel restricted when on a lead and can be more aggressive then. he best way is just to not look at the dog or offer it to sniff you hand, also never put your face close to that of a dog since if a dog feels the need to react fast it will grab the nearest part of you.

∙ 13y agoTo establish dominance they urinate on their territory. Also they will growl. Say you have two dogs trying to eat the dog with the dominance will snap at the other dog and stand over them until they roll over(submitting) then eat then the other dog may eat. Another way to show dominance is by not listening to an owner, not to be mistaken with bent independent their is a large difference.

Why do your 2 male dogs hump each other?
The humping from your female dog is not about sex, it is about dominance. She is probably trying to establish dominance. Chances are she is trying to be the lead dog or take Alpha position. It is not unusual for your male dog to "mark" his territory and the dominant or Alpha female to mark over the same spot your male just marked at, even if they have to raise their leg to do it. However, one must be established as the dominant figure and if the male is much larger it might be a good idea to let the female be Alpha. You can help this by feeding the female first, hooking up her leash or collar first and greeting her first. This may help push the female toward being Alpha but in the end the dogs will establish the pecking order.

Dominance
Why do dogs dominate others?
Dogs are social animals, and "dominance" is one human theory or framework for understanding how dogs interact with each other (and with humans). Dominance may not be the best framework to understand this, incidentally. In general, dominance in dogs is fluid and variable and has to do with who is calling the shots at a given moment--either for food, for play, for sex, etc.

Food is one of the things that dogs naturally compete for. In the wild they have an order of dominance and would give way to the dominant dog. As pets YOU are the dominant dog and you need to establish that fighting is not necessary by changing how you feed them. Feed them separately and do not allow them to approach one anther's dishes. This will establish a routine and remove the stress they feel as you feed them now.
