Natural passive-aggressive positioning to establish dominance... in play? Hopefully. Not sure what's next if dogs are near equals???

Colleen-your right-even if you were joking!

Donna-lol

Susan-not sure what you mean-what do you see in the pic that says passive? Do you mean the dog is using play to establish dominance? That is what happens in nearly all play scenarios.
This was fun -we can play this play this game again!-nancy
