Dog Toy Balls
What can I do to stop my dog being toy possessive?
My 1 yo Spaniel cross is very possessive with toys. He plays in the park with a group of dogs in the evenings which is fine, he gets on great with all the other dogs. When it comes to toys however, (no matter how many toys are laying around) he has to have the one the other dogs are playing with. When someone throws a toy or ball HE has to be the one that gets it, and gets growly if he doesn’t get to it first. Any tips on how to break him out of this unsociable behaviour??
Dogs will usually compete with other dogs, as well as with their human family – for attention, favourite chairs, toys, and access to food. Life in a social group has its advantages, of course, but it can also increase stress when some items or activities are particularly coveted or rare. Most dogs appear to recognise limits and will defer to members of their human family. But in some cases, they will threaten anyone who stands in the way by growling or even biting.
As with other categories of aggressive behaviour, possessive aggression can lead to serious bites. Puppies must be taught that such behaviour is inappropriate. One effective method used by trainers is to teach your puppy to drop items on command – starting with less interesting objects, and rewarding the drop (followed, ideally, by moving away from the item and sitting down) with an enticing treat. Prevention is also wise – especially in households with children. For example, dogs that get particularly stressed about being approached during meals should be separated when fed, and those that growl or bite when they are chewing or playing with toys should not have access to toys unless separated from others
