Then I wouldn't give her any! Anything that makes Buddy act like that
he can not have.
I would try first to sit on the floor with her and hold the bone or bullystick
for her to chew. Don't release it. Let her chew for a few minutes then remove
it. Later do this again and again until you feel she is more comfortable in sharing. Sometimes this works sometimes it dosent. Buddy got aggressive
in the past with certain things and I will not give them to him again.
Take charge. As they mature they do calm down some when they trust
you with their sepcial things. It took us lot's of time but he now shares
things with me. If he dosen't he never sees it again. My only way of taking
charge. I got the 12" ones for him. I was afraid of him chocking as well.
Once it reached about 3" I tossed it.
