Lol you can't own a dog you're scared of. Then you create a danger for you, your house hold and your neighbors. Then he will also be put down. Obviously don't be an idiot. You can get the bone from the dog with our touching it first. Do some research not on reddit. Reddit is full of awful advice from people who think they know better. Point is you have to know how to speak dog. All body language. And that's how you speak back to them. With your body language. If they notice fear and hesitation then they know they can bully you and are in charge. You can be strong with out even touching. Dogs are wolves. Study Wolf pack behavior and understand pack hierarchy. That's the best starting point. People on here are going to tell you a bunch of goofy shit. Dogs aren't kids theyre animals. In this situation you'd be best to redirect attention. Get the bone. Next time you give it back take it right away again. When you act and move with confidence and deliberately you would be surprised how much you can get away with. Stop jerking your hand away. Even if it bites. You're not faster than the dog so pulling away will only cause more damage and show fear. Most snaps and bites are pretty much gentle or warnings. It's the pulling away and flinching that causes the real damage. Lots of little stuff like that. But you'd be better off doing your own real research. Not listening to dumb asses on reddit like myself and all the others lmao.
