    No I don't think so Kidmac. If the dog is pushing for top spot it will be showing aggression toward the owner who is in that spot. The lower ranked dogs are fighting over their place in the pack below the boss.

    There is no such thing as number 1, number 2, number 3 etc. There is only number 1, with all the rest below. The hierarchy of those below is irrelevant for them, provided they are given leadership by the number 1.

    The root cause of this behaviour is that the dogs don’t see Ryan as that leader.

    You missed the nip it in the bud stage when they started playing together, takes two to tango deal with both of them, ones now an outside dog and you need to teach them to stay away from each other or there will be issues
