You should slap her ass every day, train that disrespect out of him. He's vying to be the alpha. Put him in time out when he pulls that crap. Make sure you are the one that feeds him. Do not allow the woman to do this. Dog has to rely on you for food and that counts for treats too. I saw one suggestion to tape pics on the wall or fridge where he eats...Yours on the top, then your wife, then the dog dead last.

You over thought my comment. There is no violence in his outbursts.
All that crap is nonsense. Beta tricks to trick dogs into thinking you're alpha. It's literal Brainwashing. I don't do training with treats, tricks, or pictures.
I have no issues with my dog. He does not disrespect me. He knows who the boss is. Anybody trying to teach their dog to be beta is stupid. They know who they can and can't push around. All I have to do is look at my dog and he knows... I used to own a Timber Wolf that I stole from a guy who treated it like shit and should have never had it. You wanna talk about an alpha canine... That fucker did what he wanted when he wanted. But he was gentle as a lamb around humans.
Hahaha... you might have to establish alpha status if you ever found yourself lost in the wilderness and your only company is a pack of wolves who just discovered you...
Generally, dogs will sort of instinctively know who the boss is, especially if you raised it and feed it and such.
You're also not competing for breeding rights with your pet dog, so the whole alpha/beta dynamic loses a lot of its importance.
