My fog stole a biscuit wrapper with a few crumbs in out of the bin, so I got a treat out and swapped the wrapper for the treat.
Then a thought occurred to me, does this not encourage them to steal more things? I know that swapping is the best way so they don't feel the need to guard stuff but what if they think "hey I just got a treat for taking out the bin! I should do this more often!"?
Is that a stupid question?

The doghouse
Can I just ask a question wrt preventing guarding stuff and retrieving stolen items etc?
