Thank you all so much for your help. She will be 2 December 28th. We have never had problems before with rawhide; she has ALWAYS let me touch any of her things, and any part of her body. Sometimes when she is laying on her side, and I walk up to her she will raise her leg and show me her belly, being submissive I suppose. Yes, it is only her rawhide. Today I gave her a treat and I stuck my hand in her mouth and she didn't care, and I can take treats away from her. My dad thought that it was because she had been around the dogs at the kennel and she learned "bad manners" from the other doggies. If I had my way I would have someone live in my house while we went away, but I don't have any friends or such that would do that, because most of relatives don't care about dogs or my friends could care less also. And the kennel she goes to is the one my obeidence instructor owns, so she knows Heidi. We have been to two obedience classes, Basic and Advance. She knows I am boss, SO totally. I'm the one in the house she respects the most. I'm top dog, then my dad, then my brother, then my mom. Thanks again, and I will take your guys advice.
