How to stop my dogs fighting over bones and resource guarding?

Question

Any tips on dogs fighting each other over a bone? One growls at the other, because she’s stared at. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 21 lbs

Lauren Kennedy, DVM · Accepted Answer

The best thing to do is to avoid these situations all together. Avoid giving them bones and if you do, make sure the dogs are separated so they can’t see each other while enjoying their bones. This type of behavior, if allowed to continue, will escalate and the dogs could hurt each other or you. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
