#i love my dewboo he just needs some confidence building

[eqan]

i’m not talking about dew’s new behavior as though it’s disappointed me, to be clear. i’m just venting about a very common and natural behavior that some dogs display sometimes, and that is very genetic and inheritable, and that is an issue in many multi-dog households, and that is trainable. i am still very happy with dewey and he is still exactly what i wanted. corgis are highly food motivated and dew especially is. and he lives in a home with 3 other dogs who are used to taking resources from each other, shrugging it off, then coming to me for more cause their brother took the other one they had! somewhere along the way we likely didn’t do what we needed to prevent dew from feeling like he needed to guard from his brothers, likely because it wasn’t an issue the first month he’s been here. dogs are living things and animals and i never expected dewey to be perfect all of the time (: (but he’s still perfect to me)
