Most dogs can get really possessive with 'special' bones and it does no harm at all to remind them that it is not acceptable. When you return the bone to them as a reward for relinquishing it, it also helps build trust. Well done! The other posters are right - everyone finds their own way with their own dog. I was a bit surprised with Dill at first, as he play-growls like a demon - but his bite inhibition is superb and he is such a gentle little thing. Hanging off his tuggy though - he just sounds evil! I cleared all the ramblers off the top of Pendle the other weekend because I wandered up there carrying a rope with a snarling heeler clamped to it :P
