This is my first post here. I have a one-year old pound pup, Maddy (retriever mix). She shows a lot of excessively submissive behavior (licking, rolling over, etc.) and we are working on those things currently - we got her at about 4 months of age. She is a very well-behaved girl.
However, recently she has taken to getting into things that are not hers (last 4 weeks). Usually it is not destructive, but sometimes it can be. She never did this previously. She has lots of toys which I keep control of and rotate so she will not get bored. Any advice on how to correct and stop this behavior? I have tried "no" and she knows the command "drop it" but it doesn't seem to help. She has very clear boundaries for most everthing in the house and seems to know and respect those. I know it's not a huge problem, but its very out of character for her, and we are big on the boundaries (lots of Dog Whisperer, I guess!).
Thanks!
