dog. Ways to do this might include having the child
control the dog with a leash; avoiding letting the
dog go up on any furniture (since being higher can
be a symbol of domination), etc. Note that just because
the parents think the child is dominant over the dog
doesn't necessarily mean the dog thinks the same way.

I've seen a small child holding a leash but with
the dog pulling the child around.

That's what our little 6 lb. dog does with DD. Is that a sign of dominance
for the dog, if the dog can pull her around? She loves having the dog on a
leash.
