Not allowing to sleep in door ways is an alpha thing, same with not allowing them through a door first all suppose to signal you'll top dog alpha male...
Personally I don't buy into it..
My dogs do go through doors before me, I do ensure that they sit while I open it and that they proceed on my commande for safety reasons orderly que is best..
They also allowed up stairs, they go up and down either in front or behind me, but never push past again for safety reasons..
I feed them when they due to be feed, whether I've had something to eat or not..
Same as the car my dogs don't leave the car until I give the command, but again this is purly for safety reasons...
I don't see myself as Alpha dog, but my dogs do respect us and do as we ask because they want to. From us they get security and guidence... Our relastionship is based on respect
