Hey guys was hoping to get some feedback on some doggy behavior as of late if I should be concerned or if I am over reacting. We frequently visit the dog park, I try to go a cpl times a week. Once during peak hours for doggy play time and again when its just us to play fetch ect. Brisco loves other dogs and has being playing really well. But lately I've noticed that he is wanting to show his dominance by T-ing up as the say putting his head on their shoulders. Its only been with males and younger ones at that when they have been playing together. He has never showed any other signs like growling or snapping and if I go over and tell him to get off he will. There are several pups that have been coming to the park lately between 6 and 18 months and this is when I see the behavior. Is this normal dog behavior for my 11 month old Brisco or should I be concerned about him becoming "a bully" later on?

I'm not sure what you mean by t-ing up...and what is a cpi?

I'm guessing couple
I think she said cpl..... meaning couple.
And she said her dog puts his neck over the younger dogs neck in a dominant manner. I guess they call it
T-ing up.
Yes it's referred to as T ing up because it looks like a T. When both dogs are standing and one places there head on the others back |---- like this.
And its CPL it stands for couple lol

It sounds like he's just posturing.  If there is no other aggressive body language or vocalization, and if the other dogs are not reacting negatively, I wouldn't be overly concerned.
