Does your pup have his own toys? My two have always had tonnes of their own toys and they've never really been lil thieves. But I don't know if there's any cause and effect relationship in play there. I'm just talking about my experience. Their toys are always available for them.
When Rockie has something he shouldn't you could try making a swap with one of his toys. when he's got something he shouldn't make a big fuss with one of his toys. Like "o rockie look at this what have I got!" (Like Firstyorkie says don't chase him when he's got the forbidden item as that makes it a game) make him come to you by being way more exciting and interesting than that TV remote and if he swaps for his toy then play with him for a while with his toy so he knows that is acceptable behaviour.
I hope that helps! |
