Domination involves respect... fearful animals rarely respect you.
I've trained three large dogs (guardian breeds) who knew who was boss without having to piss themselves every time they saw me. They were confident and obedient -- just the way a dog ought to be. One had protected me from a feral dog and another tried to protect me from my ex-husband before he shot her.
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."
