I would only allow her to chew them with you holding the stick in your hand, allowing her to chew it that way. It's one thing to give a warning growl to another dog, but it's another thing to bite OR growl at your human. That treat is not hers, it's yours, and you are the hand who feeds her so that's shouldn't be acceptable. I always made very clear beginning with Jackson as a young pup that I can do whatever to him and he shouldn't care. As a young pup, I would mix his food around with my own hands so my scent was on it, I would also put my hand occasionally in his bowl when eating food to teach him not to care, same thing with bones... he's never once growled, bit, or shown any aggression towards me or anyone else. I would suggest also making her work for her bully stick... don't just give it to her for free. Make her sit in a calm manner first, then give her the bully stick. |
