Have you any experience with a dog being possesive either with food, owner, toys, beds etc

what age did you notice the trait appearing and how did you deal with it or are dealing with it

Tilly is ball possesive in and out of the house, Shady is ball possesive in the house just so she can wind Tilly up, outside tho Shady could'nt care less about the ball

she can't see why Tilly and Bailey run after it when she has more fun running after them

Bailey is only possesive about me he sulks if the other 2 sit next to me and will barge them out of the way

Stan was food possessive when he first came to us. We just "claimed" the food a few times and that was that. We didnt once let him get away with it and hes fine now
