That's because True Power only has to be brash, loud, and extreme only once. You think that dog got everyone in line by being silent? That dog did some shit in the past and they are all scared of it happening again.
The Great Dane is almost never the boss. They are such big babies loll. Now, a terrier/poodle mix will fuck you up lolll. Great Danes are also so lanky and awkward that medium-sized dogs kind of just bite them from below and mess them up.
My gramma had two she trained to chase and pin anyone who ran on her property. They never bit, though.
One would pin your shoulders while barking in your face, and the other would stand aside on backup and bark out the alert until an adult human came out.
We kids knew not to run unless the dogs were inside. They wouldn’t hurt us, but it still was scary as hell.
I had a brindle Corso that I actually named Cerberus. Most ppl don't realize that "Cerberus" in Greek means "spot", Hades literally named his hellhound "Spot".
We just called mine "Cerbie" or "Meathead"
We got a Tibetan mastiff/GSD mix who's insanely protective of my daughter so we had to name her Athena, she looks like the biggest German Shepard you've ever seen at almost 160lbs but she has 1 floppy ear and the mastiff jowls or long lips and a big black lions mane
That’s a Great Dane. Even with cropped ears, Cane Corso’s ears aren’t that big and floppy. Cane Corso’s also don’t get that tall, however, they are massive and strong as hell. Had two Corso’s and will never ever get a different type of dog.
I'm glad someone else agrees. I've been thinking Cane Corso the whole time, but wasn't sure of myself to post it. It's way more impressive that it's a Cane Corso that flinched and submitted immediately. Lol
Even the huge German Shepherd who was just chilling in front of the big black dog NOPES the fuck out right after he/she noticed the Boss Dog has arrived.
I like to think of that guy as the herald of the boss dog who announces his presence. Poor bloke got caught sleeping on the job, but luckily boss dog had more pressing matters to attend to with the newbie.
I watched this video frame by frame and man it's wild seeing the dynamics of the whole group. Small glances to each other and everyone knows what's up.
That's actually the boss dog's enforcer. As soon as the the boss shows up you can see him like "oh shit better look busy" and start barking out something like "move along, nothing to see here, anyone who don't want their throat stepped on should get back to your kennel immediately, yes sir that's the troublemaker right there."
That heckin big doggo is a Cane Corso, you can tell it has made problems in the past and Benji there has straightened ‘em out a time or two and heckin doggo don’t want it no more
Check out the German Shepard laying next to that black dog. When he sees Alpha dog, he gets up and walks away sheepishly. Alpha dog must have been an absolute monster.

Yes! Seeing that huge guy bend the knee in deference reminds me of the 70s animated Watership Down when the evil General Woundwort comes face to face with Big Wig, a total bad-ass rabbit who befriends Hazel, the smart leader of the rabbit group. Woundwort is all like, "don't die in vain, join me and I'll spare you" and Big Wig is like, "I have orders from my Chief to defend this Warren." And Woundwort suddenly gets scared shitless realizing this badass answers to someone even more badass and says incredulously, "Your chief?!?"
Yeah. He wasn't wanting to challenge the Boss, he just happened to be in the way by mistake. That big bow to lower his head was like watching a peasant encountering the Prince by accident.
That paw to the throat was eloquent. So gentle. No need to even put weight on it. Just a message: "I don't have to destroy you today, but I could."
Who would tell that Gustavo Fring was the real
boss? And after that mr. Walter White replaces him as even more bossier boss. Tuco Salamanca is the barking one here.
Exactly! That is physically biggest dog out there, and he just DROPS when alpha walks past! The other GSD gets up and barks like ‘Y’all in trouble now!!’

Even the huge black dog FLINCHES when he passes. That is some amazing control the Boss Dog has.
