Teach Your Dog to Share

Resource guarding is a common issue in companion dog households, and it is also totally normal. Keeping access to resources is a great survival strategy - there’s nothing wrong with dogs wanting to keep what they like: food, their people, or locations and even doggy friends. The problem is a matter of degree, for example when dogs bite or threaten with aggression to keep those resources.

How often dogs have to practice resource guarding influences how volatile it becomes. How often they are challenged for resources equals how hard they have to fight to keep them.

In this video, Diane Garrod shares clear step-by-step approaches to working with resource guarding. While it can be challenging process, in some ways, resource guarding can be the easiest kind of aggression to address, and can be highly rewarding for everyone.

On-demand. Recorded live November 11, 2020.

  • What does it look like? How to identify resource guarding.

  • How to prevent resource guarding or end it once it's accelerated.

Packed with insightful information and easy to understand, especially for a non-professional dog owner like me who trains her dog in a country where force-free and positive training isn't common. Here, growling will mostly be punished and resource guarding will be "treated" by "disciplining" the dog, which I don't agree with. I'm really glad to have found resources like this that teaches better ways to treat our dogs and address their resource guarding issues in a manner that's in line with our values.

I watched this since I have 3 resource guarding cases today and my morning was free. While I didn’t necessarily get any new information it was a great quick review that confirmed to me what I already do (helps battle imposter syndrome!) I’ll definitely refer clients to this webinar to help solidify what we discuss and practice, great information and videos presented in a way that’s easy to understand.

I had hoped to watch live in Zoom, but it did not work out. I was able to watch streaming and grateful for the ability to take part even around the world from the participants. As technology evolves with our ever-changing world, we will get more polished in our abilities to smoothly broadcast, so please be patient with the process. This webinar is worth it, and the information about resource guarding gave me the encouragement I needed to continue the process. I look forward to many other webinars. Thank you to all participants!

A common misconception is still that only "things" can be guarded and defended. But a lot of "agression problems" can also occur for example from defending ones own space. I fell in love with this course way before finishing it, it explains in all details which steps and measurements to take to work on resource guarding and the provided bonus materials like the eBooks are just awesome. This course can also be a great addition to Simone Müller's "awww don't eat that" webinar if your dog is a vacuum cleaner.

I have watched the course over the past few months and implemented everything I learnt with my dog. The changes in him have been incredible. He responds really well to all the cues and is no longer showing signs of guarding. Really good to also learn what we need to do long term to keep the guarding in check. Thank you so much Dianne for all your really valuable information.

I really got a lot out of this webinar. It made some important points: RG can be progressive if confrontation continues and it is the Approach (by another animal)that triggers the dog to take action to prevent the loss of the possession.

Did you know that many common techniques (like showing the dog who's boss) can actually make your dog more aggressive?

  • Safe and Practical

    If you have a dog who is guarding at home, the first thing you probably want is for the biting or aggression to stop.

    The second thing is to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future. That can be done systematically, without force or intimidation.
