My son and I have both studied behavioural science some 30 years apart, and understanding of dog behaviour hasn't changed in that time. It is very much based on pack hierarchy and understanding that is the key to a well-adjusted, well-behaved dog.
Of course, domestic dogs aren't as attuned to appropriate candid behaviour as wolves or dingoes but, with a little work, that can be overcome.
There's a great show on TV from time to time in which animal behaviourists from a UK university attempt to address behavioural problems caused mainly by owners who have allowed their dogs to take over the pack.
