Jealousy How To Deal With It

[fbaudry]

Just out of curiosity Nekhbet, would you call that behaviour resource guarding (the human - or human's attention - being the resource)?

[Nekhbet]

Kind of yes kind of no. I'm not one to jump into saying something like resource guarding because it makes it sounds more severe then it actually is. They're not really 'sharing' dogs, what they have is theirs and it can be more a possessive reflex on behalf of the dog - I'm getting the attention how dare you barge in *snap*. Their little behavioral quirks too don't help it makes the situation seem worst then it is. 99% of the time they won't actually do any damage at all, they can make these great gestures without the intent of true harm.

THey're just speshal really O_o
