It is very important that you play the Alpha Role in your household!

An alpha roll is when you flip your misbehaving dog off it's feet, onto it's back and (hopefully) hold it there until it calms down. This is a very dangerous move as a fearful dog or aggressive dog will most certainly defend itself with every means possible. For your dog, that means his teeth. Since most people accomplish this move by wrapping an arm around the dogs throat and the other over it's back, you have just put YOUR FACE closest to those teeth!
