I have a senior German Shepherd and a 6 month old Golden Retriever. Our senior has always been iffy about other dogs, but she has coexisted with the puppy very well… Until recently.
She's always been a resource guarder against other dogs with her food and toys. We have been very good with making sure that they are separated or supervised when food is out and make sure that they only play with their own toys.
However it's gotten to the point where she is now guarding water. We had a large bowl that is shared but have recently gotten their own bowls to prevent any issues. But now our senior will proceed to drink all the water to the point she throws up and we think she's doing it so that the puppy can't have any – even when she is not in the room.
I'm at my wits end and would love to hear if anyone has experienced the same issue and what was your fix.
