Hi I'm New Here

Hi I'm New Here (1/9)

  1. Hello all! I have been wading through some posts to help us deal with an issue we are having with our sweet Molly but hoping someone might have some advice a bit more specific to our situation. We adopted Molly 2.5 years ago and she has come a LONG way! We initially had some issues with resource guarding on beds and couches which have disappeared as we trained her not to get on the beds and to share the couch. She also used to growl if we got too close when she was eating. She now barely notices if someone is close and even lets us touch her while she eats. She has become so much more trusting and attached to us in general, especially me as I have done most of the training work with her. We do still have an issue with resource guarding when it comes to food stealing though. If we are present and she sees food she could steal she will back off if we tell her to 'leave it'. However, if she comes across something without us seeing it is often impossible to get it away from her. She growls and snarls and we back off unsure what to do. We have experimented with tossing high value treats near her to distract her away from what she has. That sometimes works but not always. I am unsure how to train her with this issue as it only occurs when she steals something so it is unplanned and unexpected. Any advice would be very welcome! Thank you:)
