|Dominance is described as a relationship between two individuals over a coveted resource, such as food. In order to prevent dominance-based training, however, I prefer to call it resource guarding, which is something that can be fixed using positive reinforcement methods.
Without more information, I'm inclined to think this isn't true "aggression" either, but something more along the lines of rude behavior. Learning more about dogs, dominance, and aggression, Lobo isn't dog-aggressive, either, but rather, a very rude, pushy dog who cannot communicate properly. Basically, Lobo is a bully.
As others have said, though, we can't tell you what's going on without more information. (:
Agreeing with Fritz. ALL dogs are good dogs.
