If you want some wolves to switch ranks does that mean you just raise their dominance?

Your female is probably beta because you only have dominance on your alpha female and no other female, so it randomly put her as beta due to no other wolf having a higher dominance. If your put dominance on another wolf, that will would take her place

Also, keep in mind that pups can not outrank adults, so if a pup has higher dominance, it will not be ranked until it turns 2

If any wolf had the same dominance, no matter how much that may be, your pack happiness will go down. Even if that dominance is 0.

If your female has the same dominance as a male, your pack happiness will also go down.

It doesnt really matter unless you're trying to keep your wolves happiness up.

Just an example:

Let's say you want a specific female to be beta. You'll have to make sure she has less dominance than your alpha female, but more dominance than any other female in the pack. If she has the same amount as another female, it will randomly select one as beta and your happiness will go down.
