We gave Yeti a beef trachea today which he loved! He was chewing on it on our bedroom floor and as I walked by he growled a bit. I went to take it away from him to see if he would growl again and sure enough he did! I put him in a submissive position. I just learned about putting a dog in a submissive position when they aren't behaving. Im curious how YOU would handle the situation. He is a crazy chewer right now so I would love to be ablefor him to have the trachea but I don't want to give it to him at the expensive of aggressive behavior.
I would love love love to hear any suggestions or stories!!

Certain things in the article, like not allowing them in your bedroom, I don't agree with, but in general, it's really good info. :)

I'm not a fan of forcing any dog to submit by holding him down...and I really don't believe that shows the dog that you are the leader.  I agree that the Nothing In Life Is Free program or Google "Doggy Dan Pack Leader" or "Doggy Dan Five Golden Rules" on You Tube.  These are videos that may give you more ideas, and his approach is IMO way more effective than using physical restraint.
