Ah thats goods news that its not a regular problem at least. I was probably overthinking because of the number of out of control cockerpoos I know. Jana reminded me of another one that belongs to her friend that is going through a guarding agression phase. In terms of percentages, 100% of the cockerpoos that our friends own have guarding problems. I'm not including Benny in that because I haven't met him yet :D

I don't think it's really trainable as it's happened literally once or twice in three years and he's fine with normal treats and us going near his bowl etc.
i think this first item on the bullet list of actions is all that was needed as emma persisted after he'd warned her with a growl.
if we see any more signs then it'll need correcting but i think it was an unfortunate one-off and I was just opining that it's a shame he did it when he finally discovered a new source of entertainment.
