So we gave Malone this nice big bone (pressed rawhide) to chew on. I don't like him chewing on it for TOO long because he starts to swallow chunks of it when it gets soft. So after about 5 or 6 minutes, I bent down to pick it up and he:
1. wrinkled his nose
2. let out a very low growl in his throat proceeded by
3. a very high pitched bark
He was NOT happy that I was taking his bone away, and I was not happy that he snapped at me.
So my question is, how should I go about training him to be OK with someone taking his bone away. And what is a good effective way of disciplining him when he DOES do this bad behaviour?? We start dog training in 2 weeks, and I'm going to address these questions with the trainer, but I would like to get some other opinions as well, please!
Nawtee Malone!!![]()
