Listen to a live recording of
Dr. John Wright (bio) being
interviewed by Dr. Suzanne Hetts.
Starting at 3 weeks, a puppy begins to form social relationships
within the family. These social relationships can be understood
in terms of the different roles that each dog plays. The
role that the dog takes on is often the best predictor of
its’ subsequent behavior.
The dominance relationship is one of the social relationships
dogs are prepared to learn for purposes of family stability.
A dominant behavior is different than a dominant role, which
is different than a dominant personality trait. Dr. Wright
will discuss the difference among behaviors, traits, and
roles, based on 30 years of research, to help you better
describe, understand, and influence dog-dog and dog-person
social relationships.
