Default Re: Establishing Dominance

This quote was from this article (in regards to an alpha role), has other info as well. It's up to the reader to decide their view on the subject manner. I agree with the quote.

"Closer observations of wolves over the last 40 years have shown that this infamous behavior is an act of submission, not dominance. A wolf voluntarily rolls on its back in a subordinate display. No contact is made, thus avoiding dangerous physical conflict"

I posted this article on another thread.
