Any idea on discouraging this behavior? It sucks trying to have a conversation, watch a movie or simply sit on the couch and have some close time with the future wife. |
The easy solution for this problem --> Do not give her any more chew treats. (you can work on this issue but other things need to be done first)
It could be resource guarding (food, treats, her crate, and her human(your fiancee)). I am only reading what you post however so I could be totally wrong. What you need to do is get a positive re-enforcement trainer that will come to your house when both of you are home to evaluate the situation. The trainer can then see the problem for herself and give proper training guidance.
