[AlphaLeader]

Alpha... Master... Owner... Leader... Trainer... all the same to me. They all denote a position of authority which we have over our animals.

My martial arts instructor many years ago... was called Master... that didn't mean I was his slave. It set him apart as the Teacher... one who was to be respected. When I refer to myself as Alpha, I am referring to the one that feeds the dogs, trains the dogs, etc... I could use the word Trainer or Master instead... I just like the word Alpha as it means 1... we make out dogs wait as we go through doors... we eat first... seems appropriate. Also, it denotes that I tell them what to do, not the other way around.

As to the "pack" thing... I have worked in rescue as well as owning always more than one dog... there is a pecking order. To me... a pack is like a family... so to have them in my pack simply means they are part of my family.

It's all wording... and I used those words long before ceasar. I understand your thinking, I think... but to me, it's all wording and preference.
