My male Rottie was abit of a resource guarder…it started with his food bowl but that has now been solved completely and now it is just his big meaty bones from the butchers. With me there is no problem, anyone else goes too close he does grumble at them….so he doesn’t get given bones in a place where anyone is going to come up to him.
Originally he guarded his bones from me but we played alot of ‘hold and give’ games (training) everytime he had something of value and now he has no problem giving them to me when asked.
But yes in the wrong hands it can be dangerous.
