This does not mean harsh physical control. A head collar and lead is a good way to control the dog inside the home. Second, identify and correct those situations where the dog may not be aggressive but is asserting its dominance. Dogs should not be allowed onto furniture or beds. These are places where people are, and therefore a potential location for an encounter and injury.
Height can also confer dominance status.
Dogs should sleep on their own mat, or in their own area. In addition, dogs that lead or pull the owners through doors or on walks, must be taught to heel and follow. Third , withdraw all privileges. Affection, attention, praise, food, treats, play and toys are rewards and must be earned. When rewards are given on demand, the dog is controlling the owner, and the owner is rewarding the domineering or demanding behavior.
