Why Dogs Feel Like Owners Many people who have dogs pour a lot of emotion into them, let them get treats without effort, and let them dominate the whole house at will, thus developing some bad habits, becoming capricious, undisciplined, and even seeing themselves as the head of the family, showing aggressive behavior such as low growling and scratching and biting to other family members, animal behaviorists say these dogs are suffering from “leader syndrome” (excessive family status). This symptom usually appears when the dog is 12-24 months old, the stage of physical and mental maturity. If left untreated, this bullying behavior in dogs will only worsen.
