I'm not sure if you're trying to have a laugh at Yellow's expense, or if you're being serious, either way pushing on a dog's gums into its teeth to try and make yourself the 'alpha' is one of, if not the dumbest thing I've read in quite awhile. All you invite by doing that is a serious problem down the line which could see the dog being euthanised, and potentially you as the owner prosecuted, or sued due to the dog attacking someone that put their hand too close to the dogs mouth.

Have you ever trained a dog before? The pushing the gums into the mouth is a bit extreme, but it works.
