Unlock the secrets of canine behavior with us today as we tackle the prevalent issue of resource guarding among our dogs. Resource guarding, a behavior normal to all animals, not just dogs, can strain the human-canine relationship if not trained methodically.


 


"We need to think about what our dog tells us they need. What is the thing that our dog has taken that the dog is saying, 'Hey, this is what I want,' and be like, 'Okay, what is a comparable and perhaps even more valuable equivalent to that thing that you've taken.'"


 


Join us as we delve into the subtle signs and triggers of resource guarding, and uncover why resource guarding happens in dogs. Then we’ll unpack how to train resource guarding using positive reinforcement training techniques, emphasizing the importance of fostering trust and creating a positive environment around valuable resources.


 


Our discussion includes practical tips on gradual desensitization, enabling dog owners to navigate this behavior with patience and empathy.


 


Tune in for actionable advice and the key to fostering a bond that stands the test of dog-guarding behavior.
