| Re: Need help my dog just took a bite out of me
Dog's resource guard out of the fear you're going to take an item away. So what you have to do is exactly what moondog said, trade for it. Next time your dog has a bone, come up with a nice piece of meat and let him sniff it. Let him start eating the meat or whatever treat you are using, pick up the bone, and then tell him "good!!" and give him back the bone after he is done eating the treat.
He will learn it is good to have you near his high value items because he gets goodies and doesn't lose his bone. |
