Getting respect must come from you. When your dog does not see you as the "boss" you will get problems.

Walking through door ways, eating first etc etc are fine, but being the "boss" comes from within you. You can do all the "alpha" behaviours which people advise, but the bottom line is if you are not projecting the right energy, all day and everyday, then you will not suceed, no matter how many door ways you walk through first.

You have been given some great advice from a "training" perspective. This is one way of "training" your dog to behave. However, if you are interested in finding out more, check out my profile page and PM me if you want any further info.
