My dog resource guards. I don’t know if I’m supposed to do this but when she gets in that mood I feel it is important that she not “win”. I’m thinking this would reinforce that behavior.
You should swap out the thing she has with something else of value. Treats, licky mat, toy, another piece of meat, whatever. This gets her used to something being taken off her and it not being a bad thing. Eventually the swap is just for praise or a pat, but for really valuable things you may still need something more valuable.
