courtnek Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I can take the bowls away from both of my dogs while they are eating. dog food. people food is a little harder. If Free gets something, she will cart it off to the living room and give you that "look" if yu try to take it back. I quick snap on the muzzle will make her give it up. Once I had to pry her jaws open, she had a t-bone she didnt want to part with. I never had that issue with Laurel until tonight. she stole a chicken breast bone (DAMN countersurfer!!) and I had to get it back because of the danger of chicken bones. she crawled under my desk with it, and I had to go after it. I was concerned, both because she could choke, and could bite. but she showed her colors. I said drop it, she didnt, I pried her jaws open and took it. she never even lifted a lip. (Free is not so gregarious) and then I rewarded her with some chicken meat for being cooperative. one less worry. yu never know what they'll do til it comes up and yu have to do it. Quote
imported_Kat Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I could do that to Meg even though she wouldn't steal in the first place but my Golden Zoe is a different story and she is very possessive over anything she steals... at the age of 13 :o :roll: Quote
dogsgalore Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Beta won't growl but she doesn't like having to give it up. Jesse is very good with 'drop it'. He even drops chicken bones on command. I can tell him to drop a bone halfway across the yard and he does. :D Just had to brag on my pup... :wink: Quote
