I think most behaviourists nowadays tend to think of what are termed "hierarchical " disputes, as conflicts over resources. It is too simplistic to say that cat & dog behaviour is caused by a desire to achieve a higher "rank" over the other cat/dog.
Perhaps it's just as well "behaviourists nowadays" do not have a monopoly over common sense!
