OK, This is totally scary! There has got to be something in these Greenies that has never been used before in a chew toy. I'm just waiting for a newsbreaking story announcing something like: Overseas drug ring busted for producing Greenies, causing millions of canines to revert to primal Resource Guarding. When the last Greenie got down to a risky size, it got tossed. We would let Bodhi have it for 10 minute sessions a couple of times a week, wrapping it in a paper towel in between. Bodhi went bonkers when he smelled the paper towel that my husband was going to throw away. So, here's my new trick. I put a Greenie in a plastic container of Bodhi's regular dog food to use as treats. This way, I don't have to get his tummy accustomed to yet another food. (He already has Pupcorn and the Natural Balance sausage on his treat repertoire). Ever since Bodhi made it difficult to take the Greenie away, I constantly pick up his treats and return them to him, so that he knows that it's a gift from me and that I have a right to take it away. In a fun way of course! :D The instructor of the Puppy Manners class we'll be going to has posted this article on her website: http://doggiezen.com/handouts/resource-guarding.html |
I give Sydnee Greenies however she could care less if I take it. She leaves them all over the house and the big dog eats them. Now try and take her Pop from her (stuffed animal) baby, then we are talking mutiny, but only if its bedtime. However, I don't just give her greenies, she gets rawhide chews and other chews also, and she has a water bottle that she fights with and growls and bounces off walls and carries around, now there is something I don't understand at all. I had to put her in her place more than once though during our grooming sessions, but by George I think the girl has got it. She still attacks the brush after I am finished and I let her have it to take out her frustration on, the handle has lots and lots of teeth marks. :eek: |
I love the Dog Whisperer and he says when a dog growls at any human, flip then onto their side and hold them down by putting your hand over their neck, using your fingers to dig in gently on the top side of their neck. If you have to, use your other hand to hold their hips on the ground. Hold them down until they stop growling and calm down. This is how the alpha dog teaches the others who is boss, only he uses his teeth on the neck. Val |
Im thinking 12 step program for greenies addictions is in order for some of your pups lmao :D . |
