She will take toys from my other dog and hoard them in her crate. If my other dog tries to get her toy back, she is almost attacked. How can I change this?

Best Answer:

The best answer I can give is this. You see you have to take the toys off the dog and let her know that the toys are your property and that she can only have the toys when you decide to let her have them. These are your toys remember and you are saying, These are mine but I will let you play with them when I say. Maybe also you should try keeping her indoors while you take the other dog outside to let her play then when you have finished put the toys away. Then take her outside to play and do the same. You could also try to just give her one toy to play with outside which you could use just for her. You can try it, I hope it works, but put the toys out of the way until you decide to let her have one to play with. Good Luck if it doesn't work try getting professional advice.

You could try to lock the aggressive dog in its crate when they start getting nasty and begin hoarding the toys and just leave them in the crate for a while with one or two toys and give the other dog a chance to play with a toy and not be disturbed. Or you could just try to keep them separated by keeping the one who never gets the toy up on the couch next to you and not letting the other dog up and giving it a chance to steal the toys.
