Hey guys! I have a dachshund mix foster dog with me right now, and he’s suffered through a lot of trauma recently so he’s incredibly reactive. He bit the hell out of my foot this morning because he tripped over it while leaving his crate.
He’s a wonderful boy most of the time, but resource guarding is genuinely horrific with him, and I’ve had to use a big plastic lid as a barrier to get to the bathroom a couple times. He also seems to get worse in the morning and at night.
None of this is his fault obviously, I just want to know if there’s anything I should be doing to make this easier and safer for everyone. I will be asking for a vet’s advice as well to see if there’s any medical way to help him be calm. Obviously not an ideal or permanent solution, but it might be needed to keep everyone safe.
Give me advice!! Whatever you think of! Thanks!!
