Barf Guarding

Banana · May 10, 2017

Hello! First time poster here. I have a 2 year old named Banana. She has developed a habit of "Barf Guarding" where when she barfs and I go to clean it up she goes bonkers. It's almost like she's embarrassed. She starts to growl and makes scary gremlin noises. She doesn't let me get near it! Is this a frenchie thing?

I wouldn't say it's a frenchie thing, but some do food guard, which is probably the same thing to her. Give her a firm "no" or "leave it". I would also walk towards her to force her to move away as you correct her. That way you are basically claiming the barf, not her. Oh boy, lucky you!
