Tinkerbell has done this on occasion to me. I flip her on her back immediately and hold her down till she stops growling and wriggling. I tell her no! very mean. Then put her in her crate for time out. I feel strongly that this is not aloud as I have small kids. I have to be able to trust her around them when they have food.
IMO, I wouldn't keep the greenies from her, because you need to be able to have instances when this happens to teach her that it's not aloud. The more you discipline her when this happens the faster she will learn. I like Mystify79's comment about taking it away every so often and giving it back. Also by growling at you and biting you and then having you leave her alone, she learned that she got what she wanted by biting you. That is not a good lesson for her to learn. Never let her get away with doing that. You should have taken that greenie away the moment she did it and put her in timeout. |
