I just say, "eh, eh" if they touch something that's mine. For a while (I'm going through this with the furry elephant baby known as Rocky) I'm saying "eh, eh" every couple minutes. But it's kind of like a game to him (like "green light/red light") so we end up with a quite good relationship and a very valuable tool for later when "Eh, eh" means, "Don't bite that sheep!" [

After a few days he'll start generalizing - something about the smell I guess. It works, I've never had a problem with the dogs messing with my things since the infamous Destructo Pup known as Maggie, who was my first dog and didn't get the benefit of my current experience. She loves me still, anyway, I think . . .[
