I love you Patty. But I disagree with your statement. @RedDeerGuy1 , is a big, strong, man. He IS an Alpha.
I think he could tell people, when necessary, to back off. Not, in a violent way, unless the situation calls for it. If he’s done something that is wrong, he deserves to be taken down a peg. If he hasn’t, he should stick up for himself.
Alpha wolves, typically, get taken out by the strongest wolf. The Alpha, is eventually challenged by another. Then he’s the one that tucks his tail…
There’s nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself, and you don’t have to be an Alpha, to do that.
In addition, people are not wolves. Tactfully demanding respect, isn’t a bad thing…Tactfully, and without violence…
