Have you ever seen the program Dog Borstal, on occasions when the dog is very domineering they get the owner to stand behind the dog and groom it as having access to the dogs back is a form of dominance and it is supposed to give the dominance back to the owner.
Sorry if that's a bit garbled, i know what i'm trying to say but just struggling to put it into words.
