I am so glad that our pair of sisters have clearly established pack order, one is the worlds most passive Zeta dog, and one is clearly the Alpha. Our other dog is bigger and older, and has established her place as pack leader when they are outside. Inside nobody is alpha except the people. They all sleep in a big pile at night and spend a lot of time licking each others faces. In the past we always had two dogs, going to three changed things exponentially. I can't imagine dealing with the dynamics of 4, but it seems like three is the magic number where you start to have a pack mentality to deal with.

There is a dog trainer and German Shepard breeder in North Hilo I've heard good things about www.younghaus.com but I don't have any personal experience with them. Craig's partner is a vet tech and rumor has it he has been considering starting some classes. He was great with our extremely stressed out rescue dog when we took her in for the heart worm test. Maybe Craig will show him this thread and he will jump in.
