My parent’s dog Fiona is a dog aggressive but generally sweet Amstaff, and he’d intentionally piss her off when we were visiting over Thanksgiving (in sneaky ways by like sleeping in her bed or innocently playing with her toy) and she’d get aggressive and get put in her crate and he’d get all the attention.
Also when they’re playing outside and she has a toy he wants, he’ll roll over on his back so she comes to show him who’s boss, and then he’ll run off and grab the toy because he’s a sneaky little shit.
