Maybe the most important trick to teach your pup!

Preventing resource guarding~
    Please do this. Please? 

1. Prepare your dog's breakfast, or get a meaty bone.
2. Give the dog the food, and allow them a few seconds to eat. Walk away from the puppy!
3. Return while puppy is still eating with a piece of hot dog, cooked chicken breast, or something else delicious, and hold it out to the puppy.
4. As puppy takes the treat, put your hand in the food bowl, move it away from the puppy, and pick up the bowl. 
5. Put the bowl/bone back down and let them finish their food.
6. Repeat every day!
7. Practice this with a cat bringing the treat, a baby, and different people.
