Sorry, I should have been more clear. I agree that bossy behavior and occasionally even worse happens, in any multi-dog household. My dogs can be pushy little jerks to each sometimes and occasionally, they even have a full fledged fight.

I meant more the people who don't bother to control their dog aggressive dogs. For example, I have a highly dog aggressive dog. Kayleigh hates other dogs and approaches them aggressively all the time--she has no nice manners when meeting a new dog. I've run into people with dogs like her who let their dog off leash and then when it gets in a fight, they justify it by saying the dog is an "alpha". I believe that it's a completey different thing. My most alpha like dog is perfectly fine meeting other dogs. Kayleigh is not and I have to protect her and other dogs from her. She is not an alpha female, she's dog aggressive.
