Thread: What do you make of this behaviour

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.
