Question
how come he is so bossy? he will sit by the bed and growl and bark at me? don't know what he wants. he can jump on bed and he has water and food so i don't know what he wants..sometimes he will be sitting next to me and he will just sit there and stare at me and growl and bark at me..he gets plenty of attention so i don't think that is it..someone says that he thinks he is the alpha dog and thinks that I'm not be submissive to him and that he thinks I'm his "girl".. oh yea is he the only one who has the worst gas in the world?

Answer
This dog does have dominant traits which should be discouraged. If he's not neutered, I would do that soon. He has become demanding and that's not a good thing. He needs to know that he doesn't run the house. He needs to respect you and you have to earn that respect by treating him with authority as well as kindness.
