Enroll your dog in obedience training to establish trust and teach them to share resources without aggression.
Gradually reveal your dog to situations that trigger resource guarding behavior, using positive reinforcement to change their response.
Manage your dog's environment by keeping high-value items out of reach and providing separate feeding areas for multiple pets.
Respect your dog's space and possessions, avoiding sudden movements or taking items away forcefully, which can escalate guarding behavior.
Teach your dog to willingly exchange one item for another of higher value, reinforcing the idea that giving up possessions leads to better rewards.
Consult a certified dog behaviorist if resource guarding persists despite your efforts, as they can provide specialized guidance and support.
Make sure your dog receives regular physical and mental exercise to prevent boredom and reduce the likelihood of resource guarding behavior.
