There are guides for such.
Once my 100 lb. mature dog beat up his companion. I did some reading and with a suggestion, I rolled him on his back and put my open hand around the base of the under side of his neck. My source said this would indicate that I was the dominant soul in my house. At 10.5 years he did some jumping, while on a chain attached to the truck and me in the campground shower. I wasn't happy with how he got himself loaded for the day and stopped fairly soon. Tried again. Then did an hour and half drive home knowing I had a dying dog aboard. When I called the vet I was told to check eye relfex - none. Twisted bowel. He made it very clear that morning that he trusted me.
Guides help, but they are far from the be all and end all.
