 We have guarding problems...
Emma is 2 years old. Just to give a little background info, we got her at 6 weeks old. About a year ago we took her to get groomed. While they were grooming her she apparently got excited and jumped causing them to clip her dew claw off! She had to be rushed to the vet. After we left the vet she pulled the gauze off of her foot and would not give it back. She got very protective of it and I had to go back in the vet office and let them get it out. It took 3 Vet assistants to get it out of her mouth. Ever since that terrible day, she guards anything "new." She cant have any treats or toys because she sits and guards them. She is now, as I am typing this, sitting in her bed and growling for what seems to be no reason. She is guarding her bed which she has had for a while and has never done this. If you come near her she just growls at you. We have been through similar situations with her guarding other random things around our house and have tried everything. We would like any and all advice. |
