I will take your word for it as you are a dog person. I am not.

The ‘being the alpha’ part is absolutely true. This is why so many little dogs (what we call ‘Snack Dogs’) are such terrors - their owners don’t establish dominance. They think they don’t have to, and they end up with a dog that snarls and barks at everyone. But if you like big dogs, and I do, you make sure they know who’s boss. 80# of pure muscle and teeth acting like that would be A Bad Thing.
