Let the dog know you're the boss, you're the one feeding him and you have the right to take it away whenever you please. Right when I got Jackson, I would constantly have my hand near his mouth while chewing a bone and sometimes take it away for a minute and then give it right back. To let him know I wasn't there to take his bone away or anything, but I'm the boss. I also would put my hand in his food bowl occasionally while feeding him. Plus he's constantly around a little 1 year old who is always trying to take things away from him. I wanted to get him used to it at a young age. |
