Isn't letting them win counterproductive to ensuring that you remain the alpha in the relationship?
Also having trained a variety of dog breeds, Border Collies and cattle dogs generally have an amazing mind meld with their owner/trainer and are so eager to please that a light touch is fine. Some other breeds very much are not that way and need a clearly defined hierarchy in my experience. How might your advice change by general breed types?
