Why does my dog straddle and sit on the other dogs in my home?

My dog does the same thing! I think that its a dominance thing. Like when my dog puts his paw on my arm while I'm petting him, he's controlling my movement - he's trying to keep my hand there. I think he wants to show that he is dominant over my other dog by keeping him in a particular spot - almost like holding him down... And making a show of it.

Why does your dog straddle and sit on your other dog?
Plainly and simply, your dog is dominating and doesn't know his place. All dogs need a pack leader; a strong, sincere and firm one that can accept challenge and keep the group organized. When there is a lack of leadership a dog will readily rise to the challenge. Unfortunately in extreme circumstances that will mean a dog that is technically not able to meet the requiring standards sometimes is pressured to accept the role. THAT IS WHEN YOU GET A CONFUSED DOG.Traits of a dog that is in this stressful situation include the following:-he will often take out anger on other dogs, boss them around (most often because he is larger than they are)-make pack members submit (usually by forcing them to the ground to a lying down position, straddling and sitting on other dogs)
