TM Puppy- starting to show resource guarding.

Probably not a surprising post, but figured I would put it out there for fellow TM owners.

Betty Bear, now 5mo, just started showing resource aggression to other dogs and now even to me.

I am currently seeking professional assistance, but in the mean time while I am pulling that together, what advice has been given in terms of how to react immediately? I know you are to mark the behavior as negative as soon as seen but then what do you do from there? Put on time out? Show dominance?

Curious what info you folks have received.
She is generally a sweetheart and gets along with most dogs and people, but now starting to see some of these sneaky behaviors coming in.

There is a resource guarding thread in the TM section right now. Is she guarding food or objects? Or both?
