[quote=Anonymous]With our dog we distract him with a high value treat and while he is eating the treat, we praise him and take the item he is guarding. Do not give your dog a treat after he has already started guarding as you do not want him to associate getting a treat with growling or snapping at you. You basically want to completely stop the behavior while turning it into a good experience. He will eventually realize it's okay if you come near his coveted item because he gets something good in return. This will lead to him no longer feeling the need to guard it down the line. We now give our dog a treat maybe half the time. The last thing you want to do is escalate the situation by scolding or yelling. This will stress your dog out more and most likely just make it worse. Always go the way of least resistance. [/quote]
