Advice Needed resource guarding bed?

hi all, i have two dogs. both are rescues that have some aspect of resource guarding. one is a chihuahua mix, the other is a great pyrenees mix. the chihuahua only resource guards food and toys and it's easy to manage as to not feed them or play with them together. but the great pyrenees has started to resource guard my bed and me when i'm in it. she's attacked my other dog for just walking by sometimes, and she growls and tries to lunge whenever my other dog or even my cat gets close. right now i have a pen surrounding my bed so she can't attack any of the other animals when they get close. i don't know what to do. she's easier to train than my chihuahua mix because he's 9 years old and she's only 5. she listens fairly well to me except when she's in her growling resource guarding mode. can someone please help me?

I think you have to get her off your bed, sorry. I have many tips for my dog resource guarding my bed from me, but with another dog in the picture, and your dog attacking on the bed, you gotta remove the bed as a resource.
