Sometimes it DOES. Some very big, strong, alpha dogs need to get their

kick their ass when they were younger, but still big.
It's entirely possible that they did but there's no dog you need to
train that way. If you think you do, for whatever reason, you know
nothing about dog training (or you've got a really bad specimen of
whatever breed you're working with).
It's simply false that 'big, strong alpha dogs need to get their ass
kicked by the owner before the deference happens.'
