Resource guarding is a relatively common problem experienced by dog parents. It's sometimes difficult to identify and when you do hard to fathom why your dog, who is given everything by you, should guard things from you.

Join us in talking about what motivates this challenging behaviour and the techniques used to resolve it. Spoiler: It's not personal!!

If your dog is afraid of unfamiliar people it can pose a real challenge. You can find yourself walking in the dead of night or early hours of the morning. Your route is designed to avoid anyone and as for having guests to stay for any longer than a few hours, that feels like a fantasy.
This episode of The Sociable Dog Pod is all about how to deal with this truly difficult subject. While we would firmly advocate for getting a qualified professional in to help with anything that involves a behaviour problem like fear or aggression, we hope that this podcast will give you some insight into what is going on. We're on a mission to help people understand their dog's behaviour better.
