Anyone on here have any success with resource guarding? The little lad gets himself in such a stupid state sometimes. We popped into town for a couple of hours and left him in his crate with an antler and a Kong (the Stuff a Ball type with kibble slotted in). When we got back he was guarding the Kong and wouldn't leave his crate... Come bed time we had to close his crate and go upstairs. Today is going to be interesting.
I use the bait and switch. I offer something better to give up the thing they are guarding. I've always found it to work. The maybe distraction with some treat training or a game.
