Thanks for your reply. I have absolutely no idea how many calories are in the treats I'm using. For today's sessions I've been cutting them into thirds, so they are minute. I may look into some low calorie dog treats though, definitely don't want the little man getting fat! :)

Have you considered a shih tzu? Not everyone's cup of tea, but I think they're adorable! They were also bred as companion dogs, very people friendly and a low energy breed :)

I think this behaviour is completely natural. Altogether in my family, we have four dogs, who never, ever have bones around each other or eat together. My dog in particular is terrible for resource guarding (can be anything from his food, a bone or even a stick he's found in the garden,) and...

I experience this problem with my dog. He suffers separation anxiety, but fortunately he only barks for the first 10/15 minutes after I leave rather than the whole time. I'm no expert, but I would try leaving her with a puzzle ball filled with tasty treats to keep her occupied. Also reinforcing...
