THE LATHAM LETTER
The idea of dominance-aggression is biased. It is possible to be aggressive and dominant, but the term suggests the dog attacks because it is dominant. No dog attacks another because of dominance. Dominance aims at controlling the other by means of ritualized behavior, without harming or injuring it This is a book for all students of animal behavior who wish to uncover the whys and hows of canine social behavior.
