Sorry, but I really disagree with this. What a miserable existence this would be. My dog likes to do lots of things that have nothing to do with any sort of misbehavior at all.
The way to establish leadership is to participate in training activities with your dog and follow through when you ask your dog to do something, not to micromanage every waking moment.
