Domestic animals don't seem to have a real good sense of "who's the boss" until they fight it out a bit. First time we took my Yorkies out to socialize they charged into a pack of big tundra shepherds, fortunately well trained ones. The leader put a big paw on Curly's back and pretty much flattened him into the ground, held him there for a few seconds then ignored him. I was humiliated, can't even imagine how the dogs felt
