Jill takes possession VERY seriously 😂
She’ll bring her toy over, climb on top of me with it, ask for attention… and then quite happily fall asleep still holding it in her mouth.
Possessive doesn’t automatically mean aggressive.
Some dogs simply really, really value having their things. Jill doesn’t avoid me when she has something, she actively brings it to me. She’s comfortable with me being close and touching her, and she’ll let go when asked.
Would she prefer to keep it? Absolutely 😂
And that’s okay. I don’t need to constantly take things away from my dogs just because I can. As long as there’s no aggression around possession and they understand how to give something up when needed, sometimes they can just enjoy having their precious thing.
Even if apparently that means sleeping with it still in their mouth 🤦♀️
