Toy/Food Possessiveness

by Leanne

Any suggestions about how to end toy/treat possessiveness?? I've tried "trading" something better for treat/toy. And I've tried dropping yummy pieces of food in his food dish. Nothing working yet. Please help!! Thanks.

toy/food possessiveness
by: jcrply

Is the pup possessive with other dogs or is it with people? "With people" is a more serious problem. If that's what it is, you could try feeding ALL food directly from your hands. Also pup should EARN all the food.... sit, down, tricks, etc...
