We all know the saying “sharing is caring” – but sometimes that's easier said than done! Fortunately for these two adorable white labradors named Grace and Cuba, they have no qualms about sharing their favorite teddy bear.
Mom feeds one of them treats as the other holds the bear. Then it's time to switch! It's absolutely adorable!
While Grace and Cuba are excellent sharers, not all dogs behave the same way! According to Cesar Milan, a dog's natural possessive nature is something that can be corrected.
By implementing the use of treats (like this smart puppy mom does in the video below), you can show dogs that sharing can be rewarding. In addition to being possessive over toys, dogs can also be territorial when it comes to food.
An easy way to correct this is by having set feeding times and training the dogs to wait patiently before running to their food bowls. As always, it's best to take each individual dog's personality into consideration before starting them on any training routine with another pup!
Thankfully, Grace and Cuba are best friends and have no problem sharing their favorite stuffed animal. As one of the dogs lets go, the other snatches up the teddy bear.
Each time they switch holding the toy, Mom hands the empty-mouthed pup a treat! This is the perfect way to show them that sharing is okay and it's better when they both get a turn with the teddy bear!
It's so sweet how these two best buddies gently latches onto the stuffed animal and removes it from the pal's mouth. This exchange goes on until their mom runs out of treats.
Take a peek at this heartwarming training session for yourself in the video below. All of us with pups can take this lesson and apply it in our own home!
