No Michelle,
I am just saying, that in my house I cannot worry about my dogs being unsure about their social status. I don't want fights. (I have 4 bullies) They are separate when I am not home, but when I am they are my little pit pack and are fine together. I want to keep it that way. I don't want them to live in 'rotation'. So its my job.
I own the house, their beds, their toys, their food, their bones, etc. I wont allow them to decide they own anything. Nothing to protect, nothing to defend.
I had a small problem with Luke for awhile after I lost Alex. I wasn't giving him enough direction and he wasn't sure where his social place in the pack was (he is now the oldest).
I cracked down on him, asked more of him... instead of babying his insecurities (he was very bonded to Alex and he is a soft, sensitive dog, but very capable of a fight) and the spats and confusion ended for him. He is much calmer and secure in his role now. The current pecking order is me #1 and everyone else #2. They have different relationships amongst each other... but there is no challenge.
Marking, in his case... was the first sign of his insecurities with his position. I was not being consistent for a short time because of Alex's sudden loss. The same thing can happen with sudden additions to a household. Consistency and rules are very important to them, the more unsure they are, the more structure and direction they need.
