I have no idea what changed. All of a sudden, our 5.5 mo pup has developed a serious sense of possessiveness. Our puppy trainer had given us a couple exercises to work on to prevent this from becoming an issue. we had worked them some, but let it go a bit too. well, out of nowhere, she gets all stiff on me, and growls as i get near her at the time she had a bully stick, which is her treat usually at night when we're watching TV. I let her have it, and she ran for her crate to hide. I am not letting that kind of behavior persist, but now I don't know what the hell to do. tonight my wife let her have her bully stick, and same thing. she wants to flight, but we have a leash on her to force her to stick around. she'll get comfortable, and if you get close, she tightens up, and gets anxioius and tense. any help is appreciated. this seems young to develop this kind of behaviour, no?
