    Bone Aggression

    in Training and Behavior discussion

    Posted

    I've been having the same resource guarding issue with Trolley. It only happens with marrow bones. She has learned to "drop it" and does so immediately if she is told to. If she growls at me, she has to immediately drop the bone & it goes in the trash. She is learning that I give good things & I can take them away. :) We're still working on it-I think she'll eventually get it. :rolleyes:

    Growling And Play

    Thanks for posting this.I had a surprise yesterday at the dog park with Frankie, who I've had for 4 months. He has been such a sweet laid back guy.

     

    There were quite a few other dogs there and he grabbed a canvas frisbee type toy that an owner was throwing for her aussie. I've never seen him actually pick up any ball or toy at the park, he just chases the other dogs around or tries to get chased. I found him at the far corner of the dog park trying to shred the toy. I walked up to him and said I wanted the toy back...well he growled at me!! He's never growled at me, I was shocked! I firmly took him by the collar and told him NO, BAD DOG! and pulled him away from the toy, then took it back to the owner.

    Any thoughts on this?

     

    Don't be shocked. That's about the time when they are getting very comfortable in your home & may begin to test the boundaries. I've had Trolley about the same amount of time & she has tested me twice so far....Guess who won the discussion?? :lol You might consider reading about NILIF. It has brought us much closer & Trolley very clearly knows what is expected of her. It changes your relationship...for the better. :)

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My father suffers from the same horrible disease. I know how you feel when you say that you are grateful that her struggle is over. With Alzheimer's disease we loose them one moment at a time. It's a very cruel disease. :(

    My First Poop Eater

    I saw on "It's Me or the Dog" that you can supposedly feed them pineapple and it makes their poop taste bad. Can't imagine that it tastes good...but, obviously SOMEONE thinks so?!?! :sick:lol

     

    I don't know if anyone here has tried it....but, it might be worth a shot.

     

     

    Fresh or canned pineapple?
