This is the pussification of America in a nutsack. It use to be when a kid told their parents a dog growled or snapped at them, the parents (knowing that the kid should be smarter than the dog) asked the kid what he or she did to make the dog act that way. The reason for this is to also teach the kid how to act around dogs, because it is most likely that they will encounter many dogs in their life, not knowing how they were trained.

Sorry to break it to you'll, but if you train a dog in an agressive manner to acknowledge you as the alpha male, that dog will not relate that to your child being the alpha male, resulting in him becoming more aggressive towards your children when you are not around.

I say this as having owned many German Shepherds and Rottweiler males, that were never neutered and were properly trained in a non aggressive manner. I have experience starting several dogs before finishing up training for the U.S. Customs, and they will not accept dogs that were trained with aggressiveness.
