Re: Am I expecting too much when giving bones

I would NEVER, EVER tease the dog like you have. Like Moondog said, it's only reinforcing them to think that they HAVE to guard their stuff. Whenever my dogs have bones, I leave them be. I don't pet them, try to take it etc. If I want the bone, I trade with them.
