I totally agree with DogHouseMom. I have never had an alpha dog. My alphas have always been bitches-and I too am top alpha in my house! My boys and girls NEVER fight-the boys always say "So very sorry I looked in your direction" and turn away. You have a good boy!

she does this whirling, twirling yiping, squeeking, jumping thing..all the way to the back door...so much energy....
as for jumping AT me..yes..all of the above. I get the whole bend down I want to kiss you thing, but she jumps AT me more if I am paying attention to the other dogs...she barks and at them and jumps at me...
tonight I took her for a walk..just the two of us...amazing how differently she behaves...she actually listens and knows who is boss...usually she just turns her head and plays DEAF..the way doxies tend to do...

That sound is a natural animal thing -- like a cat's hiss -- that's a warning. It's establishes "my space", or "back off". You'll have to do it consistently, over and over, until she get it. After she approaches you appropriately, you can 'love on her', but each time she agresses you have to "warn."
You can do this with her actions to the other pets, too, if her actions are problematic. Ssssttt at her, move toward her til she moves away and then move her into a sitting or other submissive position with just your sound and movement. Then praise her when she responds. She will eventually learn it's more fun to submit than agress and be offensive.

There are two ways to get her to quit jumping. You can take some pebbles and put them in a pop can and tape the hole shut. Hide it behind your back and when she jumps shake it sharply but don't let her see it. She will back off.
The Dog Whisperer way is more complex. I have seen him deal with this several times.
One way is to step into her and back her up. She has to give way and that will signal that you are in charge. This works with my pointer but she still tries it again.
When your doxie jumped up and took over pull her off of the couch or chair and make her stay off. Hand signals work well for me. I use the flat of my hand and use it like a stop sign in their face. With a firm low toned No! Don't yell just be firm.
he says alot of time when a dog is being snippy and pushy and bitey they are scared. If you take control and tell her what she can and can't do then she will feel protected. She is probably jealous and unsure of her place in your house.
Yes they will work out a pack hierarchy but you have to be the leader and a leader doesn't just let them work it out on their own. The leader tells them when they are out of line.

Your story just made me laugh! I have two dachies and they are a handful! All dachies will train you if your not careful. My female trys to get my husband to pick her up and give her kisses before he kisses me when he comes home at night. I said "NO WAY" I'm the head bitch here!! So he kisses me and then picks her up and kisses her and then picks up our male dachie and kisses him. Its a whole process we go through every day. It funny its just everyone needs to feel special.
I give the dachies night night kisses also on their heads. My male can take them or leave them but my female will cry until I give her night night kisses. I think its sweet. :-)

i have an evil "jacked up beagle" (mix) female. and a very timid older male jack. She hates all animals but her pretty little self.
it is a real job controlling her.. the problem with the training on the leash,is they even so much see me go where they are kept..they get all excited,thinking they are going for a walk, lol
i have learned a lot watching ceasars show...
i do use the "tssssss" loudly..and that works.
