Why does my dog cry, bury, and steal bones when I give him one?

Question

When I give my dog an edible bone (like a Busy Bone or rawhide, etc), he runs around the house crying while trying to bury. I don’t think he dislikes the bones because he will eventually chew them and he steals bones from other dogs at friends houses. What can I do about this?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is Cori showing his extreme excitement and joy of receiving this treat. All animals react differently. There is probably not much you can do about the whining/crying. For the trying to bury it I would make him calm down and lay down to eat it. As for stealing other dogs bones, I would have your friends pick up their dogs bone and be sure to teach Cori how to listen and come. If he sees a bone he should know to "leave it" and "drop it." I hope this helps!
