I guess it is personal, BUT as long as you are getting what you want achieved, without physical punishment or getting bit than I guess it doesn't matter does it?
You want to take your dogs bone, so you trade it for a treat.
I want my dogs bone, so I take it.
Both dogs lose the bone. And both of us have achieved our goal without getting bit, without physical punishment and without teaching the dog to "guard" or become possesive.
Roxy benefits all the time. In her daily routine, everything she can do in our home is beneficial. Play with me, cuddle with me, get fed, get attention, has toys, get's treats! The list is never ending!
So by losing the bone, she can benefit by playing with a toy, getting to cuddle, getting some training time (so getting some treats and some alone time with me)
There is no losing at my house unless you misbehave
