Guarding is like the gateway drug that leads to aggression
The marijuana of behaviors if you will
First the food
They cannot guard it if it is not left for them to guard
The food goes out and after fifteen mins it's taken away whether they have eaten or not
Also and this is Very important you must be able to interfere with their eating at any time
When my pups were little I picked up their dishes at various times picked them up while they were eating just so they would never be aggressive with food with me
The next .... The bed
Bring her into the room .... And carry the other dog in your arms and sit on the bed
When she barks or goes to jump on the bed block her and say in a loud stern voice NO!
and repeatbthat again and again until she becomes quiet and docile
Then invite her on the bed and praise her a lot
This is a .... Who's the boss issue and to head off aggressive behavior before it starts you have to make sure you are the pack leader
