147 | Your Dog's NOT Jealous: Understanding Possession in the Pack { Peace in the Pack Series}

🐾 Hey there, Dog Lover, We’re continuing our Peace in the Pack series this week with a topic that hits close to home for so many multi-dog households: possession and resource conflict. Ever said, “Ugh, my dog is so jealous!” when one dog pushes the other away for attention? Yeah. Let’s talk about that. In this episode, I’m diving into: What dogs actually value (spoiler: it’s not always food) Why guarding you is often the biggest source of conflict — and how our human emotions add fuel to the fire How possession shows up in subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways The difference between healthy play and tension-filled control Why “fairness” is a human concept, not a canine one I’ll also share one of the biggest lightbulb moments I had comparing my house pack to my kennel pack — and what it taught me about my own role in the tension I was seeing. If you've ever dealt with growling over toys, snippy moments between dogs, or tension when one dog comes in for love, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy this one. See you in the next episode.
