It has always been pretty obvious to me observing the way wolves are in the wild that the other wolves are fearful of the pack leader, not always in a good way, seems to instill a lot of aggressive competition. Violence begets violence. I would much rather have a devotion of love, rather then fear, although a natural sense of fear as part of the devotion does occur in the human dog relationship. Love takes a bit more understanding and independence, the control is not absolute in the way fear is, you have to explore the world together with your pup, helping your pup to learn under your loving gaze. So I seem to have figured, Hank loves and fears me but I try not to appeal to the fear unless absolutely necessary.
