Is your dog gathering a collection of trophies?
Dogs have a motto: ‘If you can keep it, you
own it’.
Dogs who win toys, balls and bones from
humans parade them around on victory laps, they tails held high like banners.
They leave them around their bed or in display areas on the lawn so everyone
can admire them.
Each of these trophies are worth points. If
a human tries to take a trophy – the dog works out how to get it back – and now
its worth even more points!
Solution: Personally, I advise people to dump all trophies. If you really
want your dog to have some, don’t touch the trophies with your hand or make a
big fuss of them. However any aggressive dog should never own a trophy – these
dogs just use them as excuses to nip humans.
