doing the alpha roll is fine, - But remember not to let her up until ,she relaxes, you will see her take a big sigh , and feel the body relax, and any time outs need to be kept to a 2 t 5 min maximum. they move on to think of other things.
one punishment that I find work well -is banishment, --bad behavior gets a dog banished form whatever the pack is doing at the time of indiscretion!! resource guarding grocery bags, she would be push/pulled out of the group.on the other side of a baby gate, to watch but be restricted from joining. for a 5 min time out, and then allowed back in with no words,getures,(pretend she is invisable) and see what the behavior is , and repeat until she gets it. when you do banish her, and walk away, I say bad , and out ! then not another word until she is back in a responding well with the group and grocery bags again. Just using that bag experience as an example. but the resource guarding WILL get worse, personally I would feed them all together at the same time , stand right at the bowl with her, and at the first sign of a lip quiver, yank that dish away, and bump her with you r leg just as yo do it to get her mind off the stage of guarding. it is breaking the mind off the task to reset the mind, and then set it back down,over and over till she gets that the dish will disappear, any time she gets upset over it. with kids under 10 this is a must . and when in play with her , make sure over and over that you can yank/take a toy or whatever out of her moth at any time , and by teasing and giving it back she will get that it is a game , and you wont keep it , but make sure she wont get upset when anything is taken a way.with multiple dogs and kids, resource guarding will include all items, the favorite toy,bed, spot, food, and go on to be her favorite corner, spot in the house what ever.
