Ep 41 Mine! Resource Guarding, Getting Your Dog to Let it Go! & A Sleeping Husband

Does your dog struggle to let things go? Whether it’s your shoe, your homework or a stinky prize, some dogs can’t seem to give up objects they grab hold of. In this episode, we explore the common challenge of “resource guarding” and look at what’s really going on in your dog’s brain when they seem to want to “possess” items. We’ll also share a practical strategy that can help your dog feel more comfortable letting things go. Whether your dog is just starting to show signs or has a history of wanting to guard things, this episode provides valuable insights to guide you in the right direction. ................ Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad… Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away… Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”… … this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!
