Fighting over chew bones?
in Pets
My dogs seem to love bully sticks, especially my doxies. The last time I bought some (last Friday) I got three, one for each dog. Well we are done to one last nub and the doxies fight over it. They only way they stop is if I yell. It's not constant fighting but I'd say at least once a day (they did it when there were full bones too). What can I do to stop this? Dapper is a crazy chewer and it keeps him busy for hours so I don't want to stop giving them. Thanks!
Re: Fighting over chew bones?
You can give them structured chew time each in their own space. After 30 minutes, whatever, you pick up ALL bones and no one gets any.
They can't fight over it if it's not on the floor.

I don't high value stuff out to be freely accessed either.
It helps to work on "Leave it" and "Drop it" when the treat isn't as high value over and over and over again. Then you should be able to get him to give it up when you ask.
Have you seen my monkey?
That wouldn't work since the doxies are crated but thanks for the other part. I'm always in the room when they are chewing on them. I'll just need to be more watchful over it since I know how they get
This.
I allowed my two to have high value treats together. The younger one full on attacked the older one to the point there was blood. They are always given these in seperate rooms now, with doors closed.
I never ever want to hear that horrible noise of the younger one attacking the old guy and my old guy laying there wimpering again.
