Resource guarding is true aggression and much more serious. He needs to learn that you are in charge of the resources, not him. That's why the NILF program is excellent.
It is a long story, but we did get him too early, I know. We got him at 7 weeks. He has been very good up to this point. He has always done the play biting, but we were working on it. But, ever since the other night when he had the bully stick he seems more aggressive when he plays. I don't know, maybe I just worry too much. I just want to do all that I can to help him be a good boy.
