Our lab is 13 months, so pretty big but still some puppyish behaviour. Like stealing things, all the time.
The stealing and running off is frustrating, but mainly in play. He will usually swap for a treat or a ball. The issue arises when he steals something really valuable like a foody item. He is growling and refusing to hand it over even for a treat. Today it was a yogurt pot, my son tried to remove from him and he really growled. Everything I’ve read says practice getting him to give things, reward with high value treats. We do this, but it isn’t always working.
Advice appreciated, thank you.
