I agree about the dogs must know who their master is and who they must obey...that is one of the main things the dogs need to know...I try to make them learn that it is the behavior I do not like and not them...I correct without showing or giving off anger and I allow them to circle back to me and I offer my hand for them to lick their forgiveness...but first they lick their nose when they surrender...I then just keep on doing what I was doing...most of the time a word is all they need...but one thing I never do is give a command that I don't have the control to follow through with...I make sure I can reach out and touch them...I just want to make sure they don't learn that my word can be overridden in certain situations...
