The book I’ve ordered “Click to Calm: Healing the Aggressive Dog” hasn’t arrived yet, so this forum is the only resource I have when it comes to behavioral issues.

What advice can I pass along to this foster mom in trying to heal Missy?“This Dachshund 6 year old former breeder Dachshund was surrendered when a family had over their city limit. Missy's favorite thing is protecting her "space". That space is a 10 x 10 room with three kennels, a desk, and shelves of DVD's. Her never ending job of protection extends to any four legged animal that walks in the room. She greets them with a growl and snap to make sure they are aware that she owns the room. If they try to go into one of the open kennels she runs and snaps at them and jumps in the kennel, if they try to go to another open one, she proceeds to run to it and snap and get in!
I have now moved around things but she still "protects" her space .. any suggestions?”
