I can leave her alone, but she has gotten worse since I started leaving her alone. Basically the advice I have gotten here says: your dog has a right to protect stuff that is hers. If you don't trust her, ignore the behavior by letting it go on "safely" in her crate.??? I have gotten so much conflicting advice  |
No, I don't like to be bothered when I'm eating so I give the same respect to my dogs. I don't bother them. I've never had to bother them (unless Shelby gets growly then she doesn't get them anymore, which is rare).
If you're confused, get a trainer involved. Each dog is different, you have to see what works for your dog.
