This makingthem crate items only is called environment management. Avoid the problem whenever possible |
One last thing - we began giving Nina the bones on the deck when we were doing yard work, etc - we could still see her at all times and she was gated in. That was when the first growling incident occurred. The secdond incident occurred when she was in her crate (which is where she gets the bone 98% of the time now) and my husband simply walked by the crate. Just wanted to let you know that - we pretty much only give her the bone in the crate or on the deck. We'll stop the deck now though.
