Puppy-dog gaurding 

When playing tag, or another game where there is a 'base' or other type of safe zone, the person 'it' stands outside the zone, waiting for the person to leave so as to tag them.
person1: *runs into base*
person2: *stands outside base waiting for them to try to escape*
person1: Hey! No puppy-dog gaurding!

Puppyguarding 

When the person who's "it" in freeze tag waits right by someone touching the base, so they can immediately be frozen when they quit touching it. The definition can be expanded to include someone in a position of power who bides his/her time to catch a 2nd person in a mistake, often for self-benefit (especially if the 2nd person is considered a nuisance).
