Women are not the best in their relationship

The theory of dominance in dogs has been disproven time and time again, it is by far the biggest misconception in dog behaviour. That is something thats true with wolves (keep in mind that a pack of wolves usually is mostly related to one another so this is similiar to a hierachy in family, although obviously not an exact comparison). Generally stuff like this is thought behavior, the biggest hint to this is that most of the toys are plushies which he brings to his bed (probably thought to not leave them roaming around), only after a bunch of them do they take the traditional toys, which is not that difficult to teach if he already has learnt to bring the plushies, however in both cases of the tug toys you can see him pause and think before deciding to clean them up as well. My guys is that theyre training him to clean up all toys when not playing with them instead of only the plushies.

That being said, it is entirely possible that the dog considers those things his and takes it for that reason, however starting in the secondary socialisationphase dogs dont generalise that easily anymore, meaning that even if that would be the case, odds are low this would turn into other behaviour, but that is impossible to know without some testing and if it would turn out to be problematic, its a very easy thing to correct. But again, this is hypothetical since I'm pretty confident that thats not whats happening here and that this is thought behaviour (especially when looking at the dogs body language).

When its multiple domestic dogs there isnt 1 alpha dog (unless you have an abnormally territorial dog and an abnormally submissive dog), often its as simple as what which dog values. If a dog values toys way higher than the other dog, its not uncommon to try and take it, if the other dog also values it you might get a small nonviolent conflict (usually only a couple of seconds) after which the issue is resolved. However the dog that doesnt value the toy as much might value food or attention more and might get protective over eating first or you greeting him first when you return from work.

If you treat owning a dog as a hierarchical structure and always try to be at the top, the dog will always be waiting to get the upper hand (there have been accounts of those type of owners getting attack by their own dog after falling down the stairs for example). If you treat your dogs in a positive and correct way, they will try to help you instead.

Anyways its late and Im on mobile so I just ranted a bit. Ill proofread and edit it tomorrow of I see it doesnt make sense.

Edit: Added some more context to why I believe this video is a training session and fixed a typo.
Thanks for removing the sarcastic "expert" in your comment.

Oh its nothing in public like that, government official might be a bit misleading but I dont know a better term and some discretion is required so cant be too specific. I have always had cats too but dont know much about them. For dogs the most important part is the breed, always keep the original purpose of the breed in mind and that will tell you a lot about their expected behaviour. That and a good breeder so they dont get a trauma in their primary socialisationphase. Feel free to dm if you ever have a question in the future.

And people believing those things about dog behaviour are exactly the problem.

I have been doing it as a volunteer for the last couple of years. I give group classes for free twice a week and behavioural therapy on a pay what you want basis because I honestly just want to help as many dogs. The normal rates here (for therapy) are about 70-120 euros an hour but I have seen people ask for 220/h for video chat alone. I was planning on doing it professionally soon since my clientbase is growing but since Im going for a government position soon it might be more beneficial to hold on to that for now.

And I have a car and have always had cars. My parents have had cars for my entire life. I have spent countless of hours in cars. Yet Im not a mechanic.

Yes, with a degree recognised by the government and the FCI. (Not to flex, just to prevent the "anyone can become a dog trainer without any studying or license so it doesnt mean anything" argument)

As a dog trainer, no.

I have traveled around Japan for a while in 2018 and learned the basics on my own back then because english is practically nonexistent there. Didnt really study it anymore after until I met my current girlfriend who has studied in Japan and currently teaches japanese. Its not too bad once you power through kana, but you cant fall into the trap of only using apps.
