You know I think you are right with him protecting HIS chair...I thought it was just me he was protecting. But today I had my 2 yr old granddaughter here; I heard little guy growling and I looked over here. GD was standing about 2 ft directly in front of HIS chair (which he was sitting in) and he did not like it! I did exactly what you suggested - told him ah-ah and put him on the floor. That was the only time he did this today, but then I was up and about all day and didn't sit in OUR chair - until a few minutes ago. And nobody is in here to threaten him now.
A trainer told me (with my first rescue, Toby when he was having some issues) to not let Toby just jump up on the furniture with me whenever he felt like it, but rather wait to be "invited". That really worked with Toby, so maybe it will be good for this one too...*shrug* I did work today with making him wait to walk back into the house AFTER I walk through the door. |
