When I leashed, I just leashed the hoarder (Eddie) But I predominantly played with him. I gave the other one a toy, and he was fine with that. Then I tossed a ball for Eddie on leash and had him drop it. Several times, he tried to get the other toy, and I wouldn't let him. But I tried to make the game I was playing with him fun. When I was done, I picked up all toys.
We got to the point where Jack, the other dog, is allowed that one toy. He's fine with that. That's all he wants. And Eddie leaves it alone.
How does Tea do with learning tricks? Eddie stares at me like that when he's bored and wants me to play with him. You don't want to encourage him to stare at you all the time for attention, but maybe some mental exercise would tire him out in another way.
Just ideas. I'm certainly no expert.
