Even with the new Biewer we brought home our Teddy needed top be reminded how to act. A few tough MINE while I was holding Spanky and they are fine.
For toys if one has a toy and another one takes it away I take it back and again say MINE and give it to the dog that had it first. I can actually give only one dog a bone and the others will leave it alone.
It can be stopped and will get worse if it isn't. Be tough with the agressor and let then know you will NOT accept this behavior. It really does work. |
Good information.
I used to have to go over to mine to discipline, now all i have to do is a low growl and show my teeth. You might feel foolish doing it, but it is the language that they understand.
