Is she spayed, and has she had a recent wellness check with the vet?
With the bones and toys, teach her to "drop it." Also teach her to trade for a small treat.
With Maximo, I can tell the difference between playing and aggression by the look in his eye, his ear position, and the tone of his growl. There is only one thing that he displays aggression over and that is a Texas Toothpick chew bone. They are like a drug to him. He will put his ears down and get a wild look in his eye if I want to take it away. I pick him up and ask him to drop it and trade for a kibble. Sometimes it takes a little coaxing. Exercise caution doing this with your dog.
Does your daughter live with you and the dog? Have your daughter engage the dog in her favorite activities and training exercises. Does she like to go for walks? Have your daughter give your dog commands like sit, and give the dog a really special treat. Once the dog associates your daughter with yummy treats, the growling should stop.
Hope some of this helps. |
