This was the best video to explain what to do with resource guarding. I’m going to put this into practice with my newly acquired 2 year old rescue. Thank you!
I've watched several videos on this from trainers. And this one was actually super helpful!!! Thank you for talking about your experience! It can be really difficult to know how to help you dog through really stressful behavior for both us.
The only thing my dog resource guards is me. I wish there were more videos on how to stop this behavior. He growls at people when they come into the house, including my husband. He is otherwise friendly with my husband, except when he comes from the outside into the house. I no longer allow him on the couch when I am sitting on it with my husband, so he doesn’t have the opportunity to guard me. I am giving him less physical affection and am making him stay in another room from me when I’m doing things. I’m hoping in time, he will improve.
Breeders can help prevent this too by feeding pups in their own dishes or maybe only 2 pups per dish rather than the entire litter out of the same dish. We always teach they get more and better treats when hands are by the food dish from the time the pup gets to your house. But if the dog is freezing and growling from 5 feet away, you're not there yet. Peach on a Leash has an awesome video on teaching the Drop it cue where the GSD drops a whole hot dog out of his mouth. You have to practice ahead of time, without any object, but eventually you'll be able to say it without the use of treats. I never teach a trade as you then can get a dog that is bad to be good. Like they'll grab an object then run to the fridge. Chirag Patel's resource guarding resolved video is also awesome! Susan Garrett has a whole resource guarding series of videos. Her TEMP video also helps you really tune in to their body language. Hope that helps.
Oh and although the video is for jumping, Chirag Patel's video on talk to your shoe has helped so much even for off courses in Rodeo Dog class. Hope that helps.
This way you're not begging or bribing your dog, you're rewarding their decision to get back to you, without having to actually call them - especially if they are ignoring you.

My corgi had some aggression early on, had to train it out nice vid!
Yeah I think it’s a pretty common issue in corgis (that isn’t talked about enough). It stems partly from them being such a high-drive breed.

Oh nice , 👍
It’s to late but I need to watch this because I have a beagle
Never too late! Anytime is a good time to start training resource guarding behavior.
