Well, my sweet little Oliver who loves everyone and spends most of his life on his back seeking belly rubs, has started resource guarding! It has happened twice recently where he was really into chewing on a bully stick and snapped when approached. The first time was with my sister and today was with me.

At first I wanted to kill him, but calmed down and regrouped. I offered him a high value treat (hot dogs) with one hand and took the bully stick with my other hand. Then I had him sit and lay down before I let him chew one it. I held the stick while he chewed on it to let him know I was the one who controlled it.

Does anyone else's corgi guared resources? I have always practiced NILF with his food and have never had an issue until now!

I would love to know why he may be doing this or any advice on how to handle it!
