Shadow is handling the construction well, but he's been a bit anxious about the Behind the Scenes programs. Shadow's response to stress is to dominate, so the program influence is probably reinforcing his status. We do have a concern that his anxiety would be perceived as a weakness, and other wolves would pick up on it, but at this point, when he is stressed, he does a hard muzzle bite and everyone submits, including Maya.
