Blue is a resource guarder. Heavy duty with bones. He turns from this sweet little dog into a snarling, snapping, devil dog. I've never had to deal with resource guarding to this degree before. Cash and Darby were both very mild cases. A bit of growling and looking apprehensive when you came near their bone/toy/ball, but easily overcome with a trade for a high value treat. I've been reading online and found several articles. One was by Patricia McConnell and had very clear instructions about dealing with it that I've been using. I *think* he's getting a bit better about it but I can tell already that it's going to be long road to overcoming this.
Wish me luck! And a fewand
probably wouldn't hurt.
