Hello! I’m considering adopting my one year old puppy’s litter mate brother. My only main concern is, he’s been here for a few days and he’s already shown resource guarding behaviors toward her around his food.
I feel bad for my dog because she hasn’t shown aggression once in her life, and now she is growling back and get into snipping matches when he starts to growl and show his teeth over food.
Is there any way to change his behavior so that he can share without growling and showing his teeth and lunging at her when he sees her with a treat or food that he wants?
I’m worried about leaving them alone in my apartment, that they might really hurt each other if I’m not there. Aside from this issue they clearly love each other and have a great time playing and being affectionate with one another. Any advice would be greatly appreciate!
