Thanks for the reply. I can get in and eat the dog food if I want to with her It's just these meaty/bone treats. I can say drop and she does just fine. I will say stay and can pick up the treat whenever, but if I just go down with my hand she wants to guard it or if I come up to her without saying anything!
My biggest concern is my 14-month boy who lies with her plays with her and does everything you would like them to do together. I would never give Brinna (my dog) this type of treat and let my son get near her. I just want to have 100% security that if Brinna has a toy of my son's that she won't have this behavior. So far I have had no problems at all. A matter of fact Brinna could be eating something that she found of the floor such as a napkin or some plastic and I can go in with my hands open her mouth and go in and get the napkin. She could care less when I do this. Again the only time I have seen this is with these treats and it is very confusing why she will let me or anyone else do anything with her except this issue.
