They are complicated dogs aren’t they!
Anyway Poppy is 14 months old female, No season yet (as far we know).
Everything going ok, a bit of sock and bones chew guarding started when she was about 6 months, but we had a trainer in who advised us to firstly restrict access and if it does happen play it down with a Beverly casual swap, that’s worked fine and she’ll give up socks or anything for a bit of ham or chicken.
However, over the last month we have seen a behaviour change.
Mostly in the evening so I suspect tiredness comes into play, but after about 6 or 7 when she is on the sofa relaxing she has airsnapped at least 6 times at people who have gone to stroke her, it’s happened to all of the family members so it’s not a specific person.
We are not sure if it’s oncoming season, teenage angst or she may be guarding the sofa?
We are seeing the vet for her 6 monthly check up in 2 weeks so I will ask them, but has anybody experienced anything similar? If it is guarding the sofa it might be a tricky one I suspect.
